Hello, I am looking for replacement Led light bulbs for my MEade 12mm wired reticle. Anyone know where they may be available? They appear to run on 4.75vdc to 4.95vdc (as measured from the reticle outlet on my lx200)

Thanks for any and all help..

They have red LEDs at Radio Shack of all sizes and brightness. You should be able to pick one up there. I got a few and used them in flashlights and such.

Update,

I found some led's with a friend who got them out of an led flashlight. Added a 950 ohm resister and it works perfectly. It even varies in brightness with the small voltage change.

Hope this helps someone else...
