Pentax Spotmeter V light

Hello, is there anyone who has experience with this meter and knows if the 'illuminator' light of this meter is very bright or rather dim? I'm trying to fix the light in my version but it doesn't seem right to me.
Thanks!

Mine is not very bright either. It bearly illuminates the lower EV values.

Yes, it is very strange. And mine now is completely malfunctioning though the light bulb itself seems to works fine. I think it is one of the components, which I can't identify, but it is probably a kind of resistor.

And actually: did you ever replace the bulb? Because I'm looking for specifications about it. It is certainly very tiny and probably smaller than E5 screw thread?
