blue and green light panel lights i used in my diy4x dash build for high beam and turn lights. thay are aluminum body with threaded jamb nut on back side. thay self ground when installed with 1 center pin/screw thread for eyelet wire end for power. also the front side we see unscrews off and can change the bulb out. but the part /top that unscrews has colored lens inside of it to make the color.

bulb # GE 330 0.8watt 14 volts

body aluminum and anidized dark color almost odg green mabye or light black.

center stud/power pin is spring loaded ( sign of quality if you ask me. )

someone here asked me and i think i knew but not sure.

then someone else said possible aircraft panel / switch lights.

does anyone know ? cause i want some more .

thay are from atleast 70's back if you ask me. since my dad had them that long from what i know of. if it helps my dad use to build fire trucks in the 70's so mabye from that area of transportation ? but my dad was a horder/packrat also .

Can't help you here, I had plenty of them back home in the 70's when we bought an old warehouse that used to be an electric shop, they had a bunch of them.
You will not find any now unless someone still has a stock they are still selling.
I had them in all colors and they were directionnal like the blue one or completely open 360.
They used them for electrical pannels for different functions.
I know I have a bunch of them left back there but won't be going for another 3 years at least.

 

[sweetk30]

pay someone to ship some to me

at least we are 1 step closer.

Used to use them all the time on electronic panels. Let me see if Digikey or Allied still stocks them.

Sorry folks, I'm crashing. Too much turkey hunting and a long day after today.

They are called relampable or front relampable panel indicators. Just look for them.

Those look similar to some of the instrument lights on the C-130. I'm a C-130 Electrician, I see those damn things all day everyday.

Not sure who makes them I'll look at the cage code and look it up in the Technical Manual. Give me a few days as I won't be going to work till monday.

I was about to suggest they look military

 

[Stomis]

Try McMaster Carr or Grainger?

 

[ChrisPerry]

These are close but too expensive

We used those on switch panels on GMC transit coaches. I may still have a couple of them laying around I'll see if I can get some more info. The bulbs for those are a 330.
