don't know if this is of use as information, got them in a bag of spares i bought from ebay

might be the right part to replace just the bulbs, might not.

I think it should be a 5V lightbulb. If you need I can give you one.

thanks for the offer leslie, but i have a few spares of the type on the right of the picture already.

He Guys!

I've been looking everywhere online to find some info about light bulb replacement for an 'old' BS 2500 from '91 of a friend of mine. There was a suggestion to use a 12 V 70 mA bulb. Well, I today used four 12 V 80 mA bulbs, but the light is too soft. Although I replaced all the four of them to have matching colours, they are just not bright enough.

Replacement -by the way, for those who are into soldering- really is a peace of cake once you manage to open up the two black plastic front covers.

Guide: Unplug power in window open position. Remove the windows, remove the left and right plastic black front covers on the side (you actually do not need to remove the back cover, I found out), remove the 8 screws on the left and right of the front grey element that holds the cd-clamp and buttons, and there you go: full access to those four tiny prints with the bulb on the back. Bend the metal carefully to release the prints, and there you go...

Even though the light of the 12 V bulbs is not that bright as the original bulb (I think the original will be a 5 V bulb, I guess, which will shine brighter), my friend who's BS2500 light broke down is satisfied with the less bright result. Therefore I won't try another 'brighter' bulb. If in a few years my own BS3000's lights will break down, I'll give it a new try :p

I wanted to upload some pictures.... but how?

Regards, Antoine.

Hi Alls,

Today, I replaced one of the two bulbs in my recent Beosound 2300.

I used a 5v 60mA bulb (1,75€ in Paris) and didn't even needed to change the other one: same brightness and same color open or closed, even though the bulb is slightly smaller.

Cheers.

There is one one eBay now  $15.97 p+p

I just replaced my globes with these. https://au.rs-online.com/web/p/incandescent-light-bulbs/0106256

Nice and easy soldering job, just solder off the old globes from the little PCB, then solder these new ones in.
