Help identify these bulbs

craig51 · 08-19-2011, 11:53 AM

OK, I bought Data's arm as used in Generations. I got it last Friday, and to date I, along with a load of help from another forum, have managed to get it to light up and blink (just waiting for a controller to arrive to it blinks automatically)

Anyway, there are four circuits on this prop, and one of them powers two black bulbs, See pic

These look like some UV lights, but that is a total guess. In the movie they make the arm inside glow blue. Apart from two wires coming off each bulb, we have no idea what they are, where you get them etc. And without that info, we cant safely power them up.We dont even know if they need a DC or AC supply?
So, firstly, does anyone here recgonise these bulbs. Any idea where they are from?
