@Siberian Hello. I have not been able to find an LED tube with the same characteristics as the one already installed. If you are a bit "handy", you can change the lighting with LED strips or something similar. It is something that does not have a very high cost and would also solve the question that you asked me.
Thank you very much for your question.
Thank you. How about a plain old fluorescent if you can't find an LED equivalent? I just don't relish running this permanently hooked up to a voltage converter.
@Siberian I've been looking and can't find it. the reference is fluorescent 30cm - 12" and of the type T8 220v and 32w, I can look for it tomorrow more calmly, I suppose there will be equivalence for an LED tube. Many thanks.
Just wanted you to confirm that it's a standard length that can be found in the US to replace the 220v one. Thank you
@Siberian yes, you can always replace the lighting with LED. You now have a round 32w fluorescent tube. Yes, maybe it's simpler, perfect. thank you
Thanks for your quick reply. My question was, can I find a 110v fluorescent/LED to fit this as I don't want to use power adapters.
@Siberian Thank you for your inquiry. yes, this sign can work with 110v if it is connected to a 220-110v power adapter. They are economical and solve the performance barrier. thank you.
Regarding the cost of shipping, the approximate cost is $250, pending confirmation at the end of the auction. shipping with UPS or DHL.
Is the fluorescent a standard length that can be replaced by a 110v or LED? Shipping cost to 99709? Thanks
