Komeuppance Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 So I finally decided to finish my HVAC control relocate, been waiting on my lazy self to solder up some new bulbs so the display would light up and I wouldn't have to count which temperature I was setting it at LOL... only took almost 3 years. Anyway... the bulb size / number is 2162. Specs are 14v 1.4watts.http://www.easternlightbulbs.com/images/small/EL4213.jpghttp://www.ebay.com/...=item1e605d375a What you need to do is unwrap the wire from the plastic base and wrap the new wire leads in, that's why the bulb has a long wire. Anyway... I didn't find this out until AFTER I directly soldered a different bulb size in LOL... which is a bulb size / number 74, same specs 14v/1.4watts. http://www.newark.com/productimages/nio/standard/4322187.jpg The #74 bulb is easily found in auto parts stores if you don't want to have to wait to order. I split the leads apart and soldered directly to the copper contact points on the display board.http://home.comcast.net/~Komeuppance/HVACBulb.jpgBTW, if you go this route, make sure you have needle nose pliers handy... if you drop the bulb inside, it's a b to get out. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
