Oldschool flash bulbs...??

[ROLLERBALL]

What number do the flashing bulbs have that are in my GENIE backglass..???Are they just older style ones that flash when warm/turned on ect??

#455

I have some EIKO brand ones, but the blink rate is VERY slow. Most of them blink once every 5 seconds.

Apparently, "GE" branded bulbs blink fast, but they are no longer available.

If you manage to find a brand that blink fast, i'd be interested to hear about it.

Hi Rod,

I purchased some GE 455 from Wayne a while ago

Hi Derek :)

Yeah i was aware he sold them. However, last time i looked he wanted $2 a bulb. But now they are down to $0.59 a bulb. Which is obviously a tad more realistic

Thanks for that...a slow blink would be better....I just want to try some in the house on the backglass of the Haunted house...

[Rod71]

Yeah, you're right. Slow blink in HH would be better.

In that case, EIKO is your friend 

[ROLLERBALL]

All good...Ive got some on the way...the Genie has one or 2 blown as well..
thanks again guys...

I think i read in the HH manual that its supposed to have some blinking globes behind the back glass somewhere, but it didnt say exactly where.

I reckon some white LED flashers where the lightening is on the backglass would look waaaay cool!

Hey Marty the lightning already flashes, did you mean to put leds in the normal #44 -47 bulbs place to make it look brighter.

Hell Yeah!

The hyper bright LED's (I used #89's flashers) on my T2 were just awesome.  I reckon a couple of the white LED's would look really good (just on lightening bit).  I'll have a look to see if I have any white #44's left around to send to you...

Just seen Greg also has purple....I would love to give the white and purple a go to see which looks better...
