skidder652003 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hi all I was thinking my 410 HLF was sounding very dark, almost wooly even with judicious use of mids and highs from the head and it got me to thinking the horn had blown. Then I see theres a couple of lightbulb "fuses" in the crossover to protect it! I know this thread has been covered elsewhere but does anyone know what type of bulbs they are, and can I order them somewhere rather than from Ampeg Direct? I suspect they may be J6 and J7 car bulbs but I could be very wrong!!! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dvisions Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I got one from China on eBay, and worked fine. Was a few years ago now, and I don't have the cab anymore, so I can't check what they were exactly, but I remember finding the info on Talkbass.

mazdah Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Its a typical car bulb, you should be able to get it in any gas station or car service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Dare Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 It's a car bulb known as a festoon - typically used for interior lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevy-stu Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) If It's this type, about 40mm long: They're hard to find, but some speaker repair type companies stock them, you can replace with these: It's 24volt, truck spec, often 10 or 15watt rating. Easier to find, lots of companies PA cabs, HK, Peavey etc use crossovers with these.. Some cab crossovers used these regular dome lamp like this (unlikely) : Then a standard indicator 12volt 21watt lamp will probably do it..
