Subject:      LED replacement for westy
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

hey all,
my LED green light to indicate my propane pilot is burning is very dim at
best. so i went to radio shack today to find a replacement.  i found a cool
blue led that looks identical to the green stcok bulb.  however when i
installed it the LED replcemetn would not work.  i then reinstalled the
green buldb and tyhat still works.  i tried a second blue LED (i bought 2
just incase...) and that would not work either.  what is the right type of
bulb to work here?  it seems like a low voltage circuit board and most any
bulbs should work.  does anyone have better info,  i really liked the blue
bulb and would like to go with that.  the bulb i purchased at radio shack is
a high out put 5mm infrared LED, output is 16mW min.  forward voltage is
1.2v, forward current is 100mA.  are these not correct for the westy sicuit
board?
TIA for any inout
jason
