Question Furman power conditioner lights

Sign in to disble this ad
Where do you get replacement lamps for Furman power conditioners?

I'm thinking about maybe trying black lights too, just for a goof.

Anybody know where I find em?

They are likely some generic type of lamp that you could get from an electronics supplier - looking specifically for "Furman" replacements will cost you more. Have you removed one yet?

Yeah, looks like one of those thick, old school Xmas tree lights from 20 years ago.
I guess I could try Lowe's, or maybe Radio Shack or Fry's?

I did find replacements on the 'net for only about $2.00 USD. I was hoping to find different color options... Like a black light.

I'd say black light bulbs in that form factor is unlikely, but you might try using some "congo blue" coloured gel like that used in stage lighting rigs. Trouble is it really cuts down the amount of light transmitted.

I bought 2 bulbs for mine at the supermarket. Two months later and they're still working.

Christmas tree lights. The old kind - I think they're referred to as C-7 (7 watt) and C-9 (9 watt). Several colors available. I have never seen a black light in that format.

Nonsense! Vintage GE's have a more distinctively warm luminance and dispersion angle than the cheaply made Chinese bulbs, or even the not-so-inexpensive Russian bulbs. The difference may appear to be subtle until you're in a live situation, which is where they really shine.

Spoken like a true gearhead.

Abslolutely. Edison horse-hair-filament's are the best but don't hold up well to heavy rack use.

Seriously, I just took the burned out bulb to the supermarket hoping they had something that would fit, and they did.
