Cambridge Audio CD-5 bulbs.

mschwilson · 3rd April 2010, 11:03 AM

Hi.
Does anyone happen to know the value of the backlight bulbs in a Cambridge CD 5 cd player.

There are three tiny bulbs, wired in parallel, and the circuit runs at 13v AC.

All I really need is the wattage of the bulbs.

I have tried ti get the service manual but have had no luck and there was no information in my searches of this site..

Can anyone help.

Many thank's.

No idea

but have a look at these... some very small ones here. You can always add a resistor to dim them a fraction.

Hi Mooly.
Thank's for the link.
As it happens though, I managed to get some 12v ac ones at Farnell, but I will keep CPC in mind for future reference.
Cheers,
Simon.
