Hello to the forum.
I am an owner of beomaster 1100 receiver. The bulb of stereo indicator has blown. I read in the service manual that the correct bulb is 12v 30mA, the same as the others two for tuning. Is it correct? I saw in some forums that the stereo lamp is 12v 80mA but when I put this wattage, the resistor goes too hot.
So, in conclusion, what is the right bulb for tuning and stereo indicators?
Thank you

Hi and welcome to the Forum!
I don't know the exact spec, but if you get them from here you won't have to worry:

Thank you. No, I did not get the bulbs from the link you sent me. I read the service manual and bought them from the local market. But I am still wondering what are the specs of these lamps, especially the stereo bulb. I used a 12v 80mA lamp but the resistor running too hot,
Please someone to inform me.
Somebody out there for answering?

Sorry for being so unpatient but i was working all night and did not realize the time.
Yes i put a bulb 12V 80mA in stereo indicator but the resistor run so hot in less than 20 seconds so i put it away. Is it obvious to happen this?
Sorry for my silly questions but i am amateur on this equipment
Also one more question. I can not understand why insist on Beoparts. A lamp 12v/80mA has the same characteristics even bought from beoparts or elsewhere. I can imagine something special. Am i wrong?
Tape belts are completely different case comparing with cheap chinese ones. This has to do with quality of rubber, tension and a lot of other reasons. A lamp of 12v 80mA is always the same no matter if it lasts for 1 week or 5 years. It depends on quality.
My problem, in this case, is why the resistor runs so hot and if it is normal. Maybe it is. But i need someone more experienced than me to confirm this.
