Yamaha CA-1000 pilot lamp

I need confirmation that my Yamaha CA-1000 pilot lamp is for sure a 12v 60ma bulb. Would any 12v bulb work? Or a 12v LED instead? Thanks in advance!!

What makes you doubt it isn't ?

I would stick with 12v@60ma.. max. Anything higher than 60ma may melt or damage any nearby plastic parts.

Or a 12v LED instead?

What LED's do you have in mind ? LED's need voltage dropping resistors to operate on 12v. LED's alone operate on less than 3-4 volts depending on the color.

Yes, it is.

Thanks again avionic. I missed that in the schematic. I read somewhere it was a 12v60ma but couldn’t find it again to be sure. Not sure on LED. Was going to my local electronics store tomorrow to see what they had in stock. I’ll update. Thank you!!!
