I have a dash globe that is open circut. From what I can read on the side of it, its a 2cp globe.

 

Has anyone been able to source this rating of globe easily in this wedge style?

 

What have others been using? Might as well replace the lot whilst I have this instrument cluster apart.

These might do the trick. Ill have to measure them up. 1.9Lm which is equal to 1.9cp.

Cant you just use a normal T10 globe from any automotive store?

I put T10 LED's in my SS dash. I have about 10 or more laying around in the shed from various dashes over the years. Yours is ya want them

Thanks Adam.

 

Yep I understand there are wedge type lamps available, however there is no direct comparison or conversion between cp and watts. So there is the strong possibility that a 5w lamp will be too bright, may produce more heat which could effect the plastics as well.

1.9cp - 5w it says on the packet Brad

LED has no heat. Not to bright and you can adjust the brightness as you know
