4048 G+ Solo and Cut LED upgrade
« on: April 02, 2021, 08:02:37 PM »
Hi everybody
just completed the upgrade from incandescent bulbs to LED for Solo and Cut (+ a few more switches) for my 4048 G+. These JKL LED seem to be the only replacement that do not need DIY modifications. The red LED are ok for Solo switches without any lamp filter. While the color is completely different from the originale amber, they recall the Duality red colored Cut switches so I think this solution may be accettable as the lack of genuinity is compensated by the reliability. The green LED are ok too without any lamp filter and are quite similar to the original green switches where fitted.The Solo lamp is more complicated as the LED alone is way too cold. I have tried a lot of lamp filters and I think these orange ones from JKL  are giving the best result (specs on the pictures). The color in the picture is not 100% realistic...the LED Solo switch seems a little yellowish and less warm but it's rather due to the quality of my mobile camera.
Each JKL LED lamp costs 3 USD, the lamp filters cost 0,20 USD (minimum 100 pieces)

Hi Mike

Part numbers were in the pictures

brand is JKL, led lamp part numbers are :

Z-T55-NW (neutral white)
Z-T55-R (red)
Z-T55-G (green)

They only produce this three colors for this kind of slide base led lamp.

The orange filter best suited for this lamp is this :
p.n. 39-08-2A
The filter I used is the 39-10-2A that is wide exactly as the lamp so is a little trickier to install on it
When I placed my order the 39-08-2A was not available.
You can order directly from JKL especially if you are in USA as it is based in California.

Here are the links to JKL :

Actually the price for each filter is 0,38 usd.
In my first post I have mistaken the price that has never been 0,20 usd sorry.
The price for each lamp btw is correct (+ or - 3 usd depending on quantity)
