Hi everyone
My Amscope LED lighting has died and they do not sell replacement parts. Does anyone have any ideas for adding on some substage lighting? It seems ridiculous to have to buy a whole new scope...
LEDs aren't too hard to replace. If you can solder you can replace the LED entorely. I put a Cree XML2 neutral white LED into my own scope, using a buckblock controller, standard dimmer knob and an old 12v power supply. Which amscope do you have?
It might be possible to just replace the led if you find one of matching voltage (and if that is whst has gone bad of course) --it kind of depends on how available the specs are. Failing that replacing all the electronics (like I did on my Gemolite VII viewtopic.php?f=11&t=26390 ) is surprisingly cheap and not that difficult.
