Super Nintendo Entertainment Neon Sign

Does anyone know where to buy replacement lights? I spent quite a few hours yesterday looking for them and was having a real hard time finding any information.



If not, I was considering doing an overhaul on the electronics myself and converting to LED for energy and safety purposes. Would love any advice you all have because I would like to be creative if I do the overhaul myself but want to make sure that I do not take anything away from how great this sign is as a piece by itself.



Thank you,

Ben

    Hmm... i would say Maynard's, they have tons of lights, they might find something that fits, or I would look in your area for a costume sign store, they usually put in neons or leds.

    They are just flourescent bulbs.  F25T12 I believe.  You can get these pretty much anywhere, lowes, menards, home depot.  Just take out the bulb and bring one in for comparison.

    Just get the flourescent.  There is no reason to replace with LED.  Flourescent bulbs are not expensive to run and unless you plan on running this all day you won't notice a change in your energy bill.

    I do not have the old bulbs for comparison. That is the main reason this has been such a hassle. Thank you very much for this insight.

    If you tell me how long they are, and post what the sockets (or tombstone) looks like i can probably tell you what type to buy.
