Fantastic Ian. Cant believe this Forum. Got called for tea. Thought I'd post a question before I went down. Came back up. Got answer. And from Bongo Towers to boot! Out I go to do it - Bongo Fever rages!!

i wonder if you can get green tubes for the light? (to match the colour of my bongo) i think it would make cool mood lighting....

I think you can. Blue, green and red if I'm not mistaken. I'm seeing my supplier for a lunch time pint so I'll check.

The man says he will find out in the New Year.

If you want a coloured light effect without buying a new bulb, try to get hold of some theatrical lighting "gel". This is available from several sources includng theatrical suppliers like Stagecraft or disco gear suppliers. You can usually get a free swatch book that has samples of dozens of different colours so you can the one that suits. Once you've got hold of a sheet, simply cut it to size & fit iniside the clear lense.

Ian, don't forget to try him for those elusive lamps for the post '99 new shape Bongo.

I've tried before. He can't get them.
