LED LAMPS BACK IN STOCK

It has been a long 14 months but we have finally taken delivery of the new LED saloon lamps with correctly sized glass bulb.
Our manufacturer worked hard to get the glass size correctly made, rejecting the initial delivery from china as they had made the glass shape similar to a household lamp rather than a golf ball. A 2nd tool was produced and the glass finally arrived the correct shape and the manufacturer began the assembly process.
The lamps are more expensive than previously advertised due to the tooling expense but we think it will be worth it for the improved look when fitted.
The advantage of LED lamps is a reduction of 0.975A being drawn from your battery for each saloon lamp you replace, 0.43A for as blind box lamp and will give a greater service life.
We are selling these in kit form as follows
RM Saloon and platform lamps. Box of 21 @ £12.00 each
RML Saloon and platform lamps. Box of 25 @ £12.00 each
RM Saloon, platform and blind box lamps (including the offside blind). Box of 37 @ £11.00 each
RML Saloon, platform and blind box lamps . Box of 40 @ £11.00 each
Bulk Buy Box of 50 @ £10.25 each
Bulk Buy Box of 100 @ £9.50 each
For larger quantities please contact our sales officer sales@routemaster.org.uk
All prices include free delivery to UK addresses.
These lamps can be used in the blind boxes as despite their larger size the heat output is sufficiently low as to not damage the blinds. If, however, there is sufficient interest in a smaller lamp specially made for the blinds, we can look at having these made. Please let the sales officer know if it is of interest.
The current drawn from your battery, when compared to tungsten filament lamps, will decrease by:
RM saloon & platform only- 20.4A
RML saloon & platform only- 24.4A
RM saloon, platform & Blind boxes- 27.4A
RML saloon, platform & Blind boxes- 30.9A
