Just to throw my two cents in...
I have used Wsh4A's LED conversion kits for my 2245, 2252B and my 2270. There is not a hint of flicker at all. The documentation provided by Don makes this upgrade absolutely painless. Thanks again Don
The blue is an amazing deep cobalt. The dial pointer is a brilliant white against the cobalt...very nice...to me.
The heating of the unit has reduced by approximately 15 to 20 per cent.
I always change the vellum using bakers parchment paper and 3M double sided tape. Not the foam core, the very thin tacky one used by trophy manufactures to apply the engraved brass plates.
But I did make this observation last week.
A friend picked up a 2215 in good working condition but dirty as all heck. I took it apart and did the usual vacuum of the interior, deoxit and flube on all the pots, and change some of the burnt out lamps with some oem replacements I had on hand. I also changed the vellum, which had yellowed with age and heat. Cleaned the dial display and put it back together.
The unit lit up almost as blue as my 2270. A bit more subdued, but very nice. The unit runs hotter than my 2270 though.
I think for me, Dons LED upgrade kits are very well worth the time, effort and piece of mind that it will be the last time I have to replace any lamps in those units again.
