Description: This all-in-one kit can be used to fully refurbish your Weltron 2005 lighting experience If you have attempted changing the lights in a Weltron you know what a nightmare it is to find and order correct bulbs; even more difficult when replacing the bulbs with LEDs that match the lighting quality of the original bulbs. Also, the original bulbs ran hot, and during removal of the old bulb the grommet would cracked or crumble, adding to the restoration hassles This is a kit that replaces all of the bulbs and grommets, eliminates the trial and error of finding the appropriate replacement bulb, simplifies the wiring process and updates the bulbs to more efficient modern LEDs that are at the appropriate brightness. This kit saves a lot of time and frustration, ensuring a better lighting experience as was in the original Weltron when it was new! After nearly 50 years of use the bulbs, leads and mounting grommets will be fragile leading to bulb failure. These old bulbs generate a LOT of heat and are increasingly hard to find especially with the correct diameter and attached leads required by the Weltron. Our new kit replaces all 12 bulbs with specially selected low energy LEDs. There's quite a science involved as you need just the right brightness and just the right beam angle otherwise you'll end up with bright blue-white intense spots of light which are not at all suitable in the classic Weltron. We've done all the hard work for you and matched each bulb to its power supply (in the Weltron some are DC some are AC) and its purpose and apart from their crisp brightness you'd never know they were modern LEDs. And we've worked hard to ensure they are totally visually flicker free. For each of the LEDs we've commissioned a special grommet to hold it in place and replace the old cracked grommets. We've even created a special grommet for under the glass dial which doesn't require you to remove the dial, you just line up the cross, push in and twist 45 degrees and it's done To further enhance the visuals we've added some new features. Firstly the backlit radio signal strength meter now has a snug fitting shroud around it to stop light bleeding around it. Similarly the lit 'stereo' light which even with the original globes would only brightly light the 'ere' in 'stereo' now has a custom made diffuser that lights up the whole word 'stereo'... it looks very good We've fitted a number of these kits they really make the Weltron sparkle and light up like a spaceship plus the LEDs have less draw on the transformer and run totally cool Please note you will need basic soldering skills to join existing wires to each of the new kit lights. It's not an easy task but well worth the effort when you have exactly the right parts and detailed instructions to hand The kit includes : 12 x LEDs of various intensity, beam angle and colours 1 x black meter shroud 2 x replacement tagstrip modules that convert and rectify AC volts to the wide angle diffused DC LEDs in the record compartment 1 x 'stereo' diffuser 12 x special grommets, tailored to each LED location 16 x sections of heatshrink to protect your solder joints 2 x plastic support stays to make it easier to work on and test the lights in-situ 1 x detailed 8 page photographic instructions (a link to the files will be provided) IMPORTANT: this kit is ONLY guaranteed to fit the plastic framed Weltron 2005, the early 2005s have an internal sheet metal frame (see photo) We are working on a specially adapted kit to suit the metal frames and this will be available June 2024 Please note that due to current conditions and restrictions international items will take between 25-30 days at least to arrive at their destination. If you are in a location that we do not currently ship to please contact us to see if we able to ship to you. Happy to combine shipping - please ask. Please check out our other Weltron items. Please note installation is very simple but the Weltron is a mains powered machine that contains lethal voltages, so installation should be entrusted to a suitably qualified technician
