A pair of 12V 100mA axial incandescent lamps for restoring the original warm glow of vintage VU meters and illuminated panels. These are traditional filament bulbs — not LEDs — designed to deliver the soft, even amber illumination associated with classic studio equipment.

Suitable for use in:

• Reel-to-reel tape recorders

• Cassette multitrackers

• Mixing consoles

• Standalone VU meters

• Outboard gear with backlit meter windows

These are generic replacement lamps, not branded or original manufacturer parts (e.g. not OEM Tascam bulbs), but they meet the correct electrical specification for units that require 12V 100mA axial incandescent lamps.

Specifications

• Voltage: 12V

• Current: 100mA

• Type: Axial lead incandescent

• Quantity: Set of 2

• Warm filament colour temperature

• Smooth dimming response (no LED flicker or harsh hotspots)

Important Installation Note

For a consistent appearance, it is strongly recommended to replace all meter bulbs in your machine at the same time, not just the failed lamp.

Older bulbs dim and shift colour temperature over time. Replacing only one can result in uneven brightness or mismatched tone across your VU meters.

Before ordering, confirm your unit requires 12V 100mA axial-style lamps, as some machines use different voltages or current ratings.

Ideal for restoration work or routine servicing where maintaining the correct vintage aesthetic matters.
