Australian Amusement Fanatics

Hey I'm building a set of Kids Tea Cup Ride. Does anyone know of anywhere is Australia where i can get some Turbo Lights from?

What do you mean by turbo lights?

You mean the fluro tubes or the standard bulbed lights? Osbourne Lighting is probably your best bet here in Australia for the standard bulb lights. Otherwise I'd say you'd have to import them. Do you have any photos of your project? Just out of interest

Osborne lighting has recently closed down, I believe they are now trying to quit all of the stock they had.

yeah i have photos. I tryed osbornes today, but got some house hold. so i take it they have shut there doors. and couldnt even find there website. I am after the bulb type.

This was it for about the last 10 years - archive of www.amusementz.com.au/osborne.html

E10 or E14, what voltage and are you looking for the whole assembly or just the "bulb"?

I have no idea, prob the smaller type, I was thinking or having 3 colours, 4 bulbs linked together, 12 bulbs on each arm in banks of 2, theres 6 arms, total 72 lights. I was going to put the lights down each arm. I have 2 slip rings, active an nutral, so the controler would need to be mounted in the centre somewhere. (hope there small) a basic controller

the ones you are looking for are VSV turbo lights. We have a cup and saucer and use them. Try getting LED lights instead of the regular bulbs as they dont burn out - but come at a price

check out http://www.nationalsupplyonline.com/VSV_Cabochon.html which has some pretty good info.

I buy my turbo lights from funlight.cz led ones are about $4.30 each 240 volt globe ones are about$1.70 plus freight lucie@funlight.cz

I have used funlight before too, tried osbourne's a few times over past 12 months with no replies..
