led anchor light

[CDory23]

+1 I bought the same Anchor bulb from marine beam along with LED replacements for all my fixtures in the boat. Excellent customer service, good product. The girlfriend was first concerned about the cabin lights being a cold glow as many LED's are but we are both very happy with all the bulbs. I keep a few of the incandescants onboard as spares but hopefully we will never replace another bulb in our lifetime of the boat!

I replaced the bulbs in the interior lights with the flat LED arrays that was mentioned sometime ago in this forum. They are available in "warm white" which I find more appealing than "LED white".

The flat array lights come with a bunch of adapters to fit different sockets. I just crimped the panel wires to the leads in the light. The flat arrays do require making some sort of mount to hold the array though. I just used a square of plastic and some 3M 4000.

I read that it is recommended to get the "cool white" color for the anchor light (vs. warm white) because it stands out better.

I replaced my incandescent anchor light (OEM) with a Perko LED, non folding and longer than the original because I needed clearance over my inflatable. Had no issues with VHF interference. Replace the nav lights with Marine Beam colored LED's, again with no interference. Marine Beam addresses that issue in their Web site info. Excellent observability and never expect to have to replace any bulbs again.
