This all-in-one kit can be used to fully refurbish your GEC/Weltron 2007 lighting experience

If you have attempted changing the lights in a Weltron you know what a nightmare it is to find and order correct bulbs; even more difficult when replacing the bulbs with LEDs that match the lighting quality of the original bulbs.  Also, the original bulbs ran hot, and during removal of the old bulb the grommet would cracked or crumble, adding to the restoration hassles

This is a kit that replaces all of the bulbs and grommets, eliminates the trial and error of finding the appropriate replacement bulb, simplifies the wiring process and updates the bulbs to more efficient modern LEDs that are at the appropriate brightness.  This kit saves a lot of time and frustration, ensuring a better lighting experience as was in the original Weltron when it was new! 

After nearly 50 years of use the bulbs, leads and mounting grommets will be fragile leading to bulb failure. These old bulbs generate a LOT of heat and are increasingly hard to find especially with the correct diameter and attached leads required by the Weltron.

Our new kit replaces all 10 bulbs with specially selected low energy LEDs. There's quite a science involved as you need just the right brightness and just the right beam angle otherwise you'll end up with bright blue-white intense spots of light which are not at all suitable in the classic Weltron. We've done all the hard work for you and matched each bulb to its power supply (in the Weltron some are DC some are AC) and its purpose and apart from their crisp brightness you'd never know they were modern LEDs. And we've worked hard to ensure they are totally visually flicker free.

For each of the LEDs we've commissioned a special grommet to hold it in place and replace the old cracked grommets. We've even created a special grommet for under the glass dial which doesn't require you to remove the dial, you just line up the cross, push in and twist 45 degrees and it's done

To further enhance the visuals we've added some new features. Firstly the 2 backlit meters now have snug fitting shrouds around them to stop light bleeding around them. Similarly the lit 'stereo' light which even with the original globes would only brightly light the 'ere' in 'stereo' now has  a custom made diffuser that lights up the whole word 'stereo'... it looks very good

We've fitted  a number of these kits they really make the Weltron sparkle and light up like a spaceship plus the LEDs have less draw on the transformer and run totally cool

Please note you will need basic soldering skills to join existing wires to each of the new kit lights.

It's not an easy task but well worth the effort when you have exactly the right parts and detailed instructions to hand

The kit includes :

10 x LEDs of various intensity, beam angle and colours

2 x black meter shrouds

2 x replacement tagstrip modules that convert and rectify AC volts to the wide angle diffused DC LEDs in the record compartment

1 x 'stereo' diffuser

10 x special grommets, tailored to each LED location

12 x sections of  heatshrink to protect your solder joints

2 x plastic support stays to make it easier to work on and test the lights in-situ

1 x detailed 7 page photographic instructions (a link to the files will be provided)

IMPORTANT: this kit is ONLY guaranteed to fit the plastic framed Weltron 2005 and 2007, the early models have an internal sheet metal frame (see photo). We are working on a specially adapted kit to suit the metal frames and this will be available March 2024

Please note installation is very simple but the Weltron is a mains powered machine that contains lethal voltages, so installation should be entrusted to a suitably qualified technician

PLEASE NOTE: sometimes due to supply issues we may substitute some of the items shown in the photos (for example the stays may not always be pink). But rest assured the quality will remain consistent throughout

Please note that due to current conditions and restrictions international items will take between 25-30 days at least to arrive at their destination.
