Now that incandescents are being phased out, what are my optins for repacement lights to run off the old EA musiccolour light flasher?
Should I just stock up?
New Lights for EA/DSE? musiccolour?

** Have you tried any CFLs on the thing?Most of them flash and flicker just fine when fed from a triac dimmer.
Brightly coloured ones ARE available -

**LEDs. MUCH more efficient that incandescent. Particularly blue ones. For white, figure on around 500% more efficient (than halogen). For blue, the figure is more like 1,000% or more. **Why bother? Decent LEDs are falling in price fast. Coloured LEDs are perfect for such an application. Reliability is several orders of magnitude higher. Best of all: Colour temperature does not alter much with varying intensity.
