PLEASE REPLY OFF-REFLECTOR...!!
I'm undertaking a project to replace the much too costly tiny plug-in meter
lamps in my Alpha 76 amp with a PC board 'light bar' using LEDs.
So far, I think I've determined that LEDs with diffused lenses will probably
be too dim, not illuminating the meter scale adequately, and I've certainly
determined that hi-output clear lens LEDs create a 1/2" 'spot' on the meter
scale unless a semi-opaque filter (even a sheet of typing paper) is inserted
between the LED and the back of the meter.
The LEDs will be about 3/4" behind the meter scales, so I don't have a lot
of spacing to work with.
Anyone who has had success (or failure) with trying to do something similar,
I would appreciate hearing from you OFF-REFLECTOR.
I'm about to place an LED order with Mouser Electronics, but if you can give
me some "BUY" or "DON'T BUY" suggestions, I'll certainly take them to heart
BEFORE I place the order.
Thanks,
Tom N0SS
