Possible replacement for backlight bulb

[CrazyImpmon]

For those of you with Linx that has burned out bulb, finding a replacement bulb could be a major PITA so I looked around to fix one of by Lynx 2 and I found something that just may work: http://www.lumitex.com/lcd_backlighting.html

 

Any expert here care to give them a try?

I found this website early this year, and they

sent a free sample out to me. A white one, like

the one in the picture. I was hoping that this

would be a good lighting alternative, and also

help lower the lynx power consumption. But

when I got it, and put it behind the Lynx LCD,

I realized that is is simply not bright enough

to get the job done. I've got some extra bulbs.

Message me, I'll send you one if you want.

From the look at the web site, it appears there's also a version with 2 or more LEDs so maybe a multi-LED version would work?

 

I've already requested a sample and I'll see what I can do. Maybe overdrive that LED with higher voltage?
