Pedal light for Johannus T-370

[eajohnson]

Hi
Anybody know of a replacement bulb for a pedal light for Johannus T370? With the demise of the old Johannus dealer network it has been a tough sled trying to find a replacement. Contacting Johannus directly, they want $44 a bulb! The base for the one I need to replace is larger than a candelabra type and smaller than an intermediate appliance type. A trip to Lowes and Home Depot found no bulbs of the proper size. Any ideas?

I suggest you take a picture of the bulb and post it to the forum. Some kind, knowledgeable souls on the forum helped me when I needed to find replacement bulbs for my Content. As it turns out, I replaced incandescent bulbs with LEDs and get much better light. Hope this helps.

If you can identify the type/model number of the bulb these guys probably have one:

Based on your description and a little research on their site suggests it is an "E14 Base" European style bulb. They do sell such bulbs in varying wattages and voltages. Also they sell an E14 to E12 reducer so you can use a USA style candelabra bulb as a replacement:

I think your T370 shares many of the same parts as my Vivaldi 370, so I'd be interested to hear what you find out about the bulb wattage/voltage. My manual offers no information. Fortunately the bulb is still good!

Looked up E14 bulbs on Amazon, This looks like a direct replacement::

I ordered it and will see if it fits! If it does I'll probably go ahead and switch to LED eventually.

BTW, the bulb that burned out is marked "130 V, 15 Watt" and that is the only marking on them. No manufacturer, model number or anything else.

Thanks!

The lamp is an E14. (The E stands for "European" in recognition of the fact that light bulbs are an American invention that were appropriated by our cousins across the Atlantic.) You can buy them on Amazon for a reasonable price as noted above or look for screw-in adapters that convert from the European base to a standard candelabra. Then, for good measure, you can install LED lamps that will never need replacement. (One of my customers took this approach and ruined my profit for the month since I count on selling a few of these lamps now and then to improve the bottom line. But I do NOT charge $44 each!)
