When checking for the proper voltage I fried one of these pilot light (I believe so) bulb.
Does anyone have any idea where to get them? I think it runs on 50V and it fries at more than 75V.
The thing is I'd like to have it in any other voltage version: 230V, 200V, 9V or 6.3V ... if it exists.
Here are the measures: diameter of glass part - 6 mm, total length - 43 mm, length of nonglass part - 33 mm.

Hi,

AML has some of them in stock, they are used in SSL gear.

Would have to check which voltage

RS also has them , the socket is called "telephone lamp"

There are LED versions available as well.  Sorry, no link.  I have pulled the glass bulb out and added a current limit resistor and LED myself.  Of course then you have to insert it the right way round for it to work ;-)
 
A bunch of these: 60 volt, 55 ma. I think other values can also be found. In Russia it costs $ 2 per hundred.

so I'd like to try lower voltage and couple it to heater transformer leads (which has 8.9V unloaded) ... it will just be less bright
these looks nice but for somewhat reason I can't complete the order  :-\

if someone has a spare or could sell me some it would be great!
Thanks!
 
I'm still in search for these...  :-\  there are so many values/dimensions but the ones I need are pretty hard to get. The only place is RS but it looks they are selling only to company (not physical person).
These are the ones I'd need (if someone could help me with getting these... ::) ):
12V (5 bulbs in a package)

... and 6V (5-times)

Thanks everybody for help!
I've tried smaller lamps (I've put some tape around so I could pull the lamp out again).  But this is not so elegant.
Does anybody have this kind of lamp in these measures: diameter of glass part - 6 mm (the 7 mm would also fit), total length - 43 mm (44 mm also fits). Anything from 6V to 12V would do.
Thanks!
 
The ones I got from nashkato are too small (they work but I got it out of the housing with great efford... and I destroyed the bulb).
@sahib: So if its possible to place the order from RS it would be awesome!
thanks!
