ARB Airlocker Switch Globe.

[Bitsamissin]

I know someone posted a question about the globe blowing in an ARB airlocker switch and can the globe be replaced.
No it can't apparently it is a sealed unit so you will have to buy another one.
I know Carling Switches who make these supply them with LED globes as opposed to the filament globes which generate a lot of heat resulting in the rocker switch cracking and falling off.
ARB are waiting for all their stocks of the old switches (filament globes) to run out before ordering a new batch with the LED globes.
In the meantime does anyone know where you can buy the LED Carling Switches from ?
There must be a distributer here somehwere ?

They cetainly do get hot. I have mine on the centre console in the 80 and they get that hot you can't hold your finger over the light.

Get in touch with them, they may have someone on the eastern seaboard who stocks them, or maybe go throught carlington direct?
