Anyone have a good recommendation for replacement bulbs for the marquee light on a Dynamo HS5? Mine went out a few weeks ago, just need to find some replacements.

Cheers!

Apparently I anticipated this question in 2014. I came from the past, so sorry I'm late. You probably already found something anyway, but......

So yeah, 40w cool white compact florescent bulbs, by Globe, it would seem. It took a LOT of trial and error (read: wasted money on different bulbs that didn't look right, too yellow, etc) so I'm happy to pass along the tip for anyone who might be looking. :)

Globe Electric 00014 9 Watt Energy Saver A-Type CFL Medium Base Light Bulb, Cool White, 2-Pack

I think I bought an extra pair and stuck it in my coin bucket, but hopefully these last a long time. Plus they run cool, so no chance of melting the marquee or anything weird like that.

Thanks! I haven't had a chance to do anything yet because life, but now that things have slowed down I'm planning on fixing it up soon.

Sadly, the link is broken, and it doesn't look like Globe sells that model anymore? Regardless, that gives me some extra options to try. A buddy from the VAPS forums gave me some other suggestions, so I'll see what I can sus out. Appreciate the info!
