I don't have the radio in front of me yet but display light is out and need to order a bulb for the display - I think there was two lamps on this model?
Thanks!

Emperor TS 5010 - display bulb specs?
- Thread starter Big Kahuna
- Start date
I seem to remember I replaced the ones in a HR2510 with a 12V 60mA bulb. Any idea if same thing will work for 5010?
Confirmed in service manual - two bulbs - http://static2.rigreference.com/manuals/emperor/emperor-ts-5010-service-manual.pdf

We have been using super-bright LEDs for some time now. The style with the bullet-shaped nose are focused too narrow, throwing a 'hot spot' of light in the middle of the meter or display. Wide-angle LEDs have a flat face, and will illuminate the display more evenly.
Got tired of stocking specific lamps for backlight displays.

Are you using LED strips or just single wide angle LED's? I was just going to use some standard 3mm wheat bulbs - that's my guess as to what bulb was in the 5010.
LED's to me are an upgrade. I replace good grain-of-wheat bulbs with them all the time, especially after seeing the burn marks those incandescent bulbs often create from heat. I particularly like the warm white LED's. Although they're a little more yellowish, warm white LED's will closely match the wheat bulbs. Unless the screen in front of the LED is heavily defused, bright white is way too stark IMO. I usually add extra resistance in series and sometimes I also place the LED's in series to achieve the desired brightness. If you lightly sand an LED, that will also help further defuse its light. Every application is a little different, so expect to do a little experimenting first before the final install.
