Note that the 04-8007 and 04-8008 are the lamps that fit most VU meters especially on Tascam equipment and audio mixers such as the M30, M312, M-512, M520, M600, M1600, M2600 MKII, M3500, and many more. They are also applicable to many Allen & Heath mixers such as the GL 3000.

The 04-8007 is an 8V 150 ma unit, and the 04-8008 is an 8V 200 ma unit.

The 04-8007 draws slightly less current. So in some of the larger mixers this unit may better balance power draw.

The 04-8008 draws a bit more current and will illuminate a bit brighter.

Either of these lamps will do well. If one is not sure about power draw then opt for the 04-8007 units.

Some Teac equipment may measure 6.8V at the lamps. This lower voltage reading can sometimes be due to an aged power supply. It is, therefore, best to opt for our 04-8007 lamp as that will yield the correct brightness and bulb longevity.

These lamps replace Tascam P/N: 5772925400.

Teac had also used the P/N 53100052-00 for an 8V 55 ma bulb. However, it is believed that they had superceded this part to P/N 5772925400

Teac no longer supplies any of these lamps.

It is recommended that a needle nose pliars or a suitable heat sink be used when soldering in our lamps.

It is also advisable not to solder the bulb directly across the meter clips with short leads. It is best to leave the leads slightly longer by approximately 1/4" (6 mm) on each side to allow positioning of the lamp so some of the smaller the plastic meter covers will fit properly with the lamp in place.

Rating =    6.3 Volt DC 150 Ma current rated.

P/N: 04-8007                                                                        $5.50/pack of 5 pcs
Rating =    8.0 Volt DC 150 Ma current rated.

P/N: 04-8008                                                                        $5.50/pack of 5 pcs
Rating =    8.0 Volt DC 200 Ma current rated.

P/N: 04-8009                                                                        $9.00/pack of 10 pcs
Rating =    8.0 Volt DC 100 Ma current rated.

Please note:

The 04-8009 lamp is also applicable to the Presonus
Bluetube and Bluetube V2 amplifier VU meter lamps.

We have been advised that the Presonus model BlueTube
DP V2 may use 12 V axial lamps. The lamp appropriate
for that unit would be our 04-8011 12V 125 ma lamp.

Note that Presonus puts a blue plastic covering over
the lamp so that a blue image is cast upon the VU
meters. Our bulbs are clear and do not have that blue covering. It can be done to our lamp as well. However, any plastic covering holds the heat in which can shorten lamp life.
