Anyone have Traffic lights on your "h" or "k" machines.Do the light bulbs in the last really only have a 12 hour life? If so anyone found new longer lasting bulbs?

Thanks for your help in advance.

We have had the K machines in our facility since last August and have had no problems with the traffic lights...yet..

Yes. I've had the same problem with K's. Supposedly Fresenius was going to begin using a 2.8 watt bulb (old ones were 4 watts, correct?) to correct the problem. If it keeps happening, maybe put in a product complaint?

I have 302 machines in my area and have not experienced any sort of problem. Sure, a few have been replaced but nothing drastic. We have had AMP Lights for over 2 years and I have only purchased spare bulbs once. I purchased 30 bulbs and probably have about 15 or so left in my inventory. So, this is not what I call a problem. I call them pretty darn reliable.

I only have 15 machines but they have been trouble to say the least. I have stayed late twice, and made sure every machine's lights worked, and came in the next day to find half of them out. Very rarely have I replace a bulb, mostly just wiggling will get them to light.

I have ordered 50 replacement bulbs, only to find 2 different size bulbs in the bag. They both fit in the fixtures.

To do this right, they should have used LED's, they would have lasted for years. The AMP light is 80's technology, originally used as an alarm indicator.
