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? |

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. |

|  | Bass lines like a big, funky giant | | Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Southern MN | | | 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. |

The difference may appear to be subtle until you're in a live situation, which is where they really shine.

So I need to go NOS?  |

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