Interior cabin lights

[journey on]

Martin,

Those warm white lights are as good as the original incandescent bulbs for reading and washing dishes (there's one over the sink.) The ones I got are the warm white ones. The red and warm white require one to unplug the whit and plug in the red, according to the instructions.

Here's the installation.

First, you get a flat PCB with the LEDs on one side, and 2 ea wire pigtails. Select the one with the connection that fits the bulb socket, plug it into the LED board. Plug the other end into the socket and see if the light works. If it doesn't remove the bulb socket, turn it 180 deg and plug it back in. The reason for this is the socket isn't polarized, but the electronics is (are?) With the Dr LED lights, I've never had to rotate the plug so they might not be polarized, but I mention it in case you do.

Next, you take the 2 pieces of double backed foam, stick them one on top of another and fasten the LED light to the inside of the dome.

You're done. It isn't quite a direct bulb replacement, but close. The tower lights were direct, but then they fell apart.

As for the power, the claim is for 0.18 amp, which is about 20% of the incandescent lamp. And they run cool, which you'll learn to appreciate.

For the red lights just put in a 3 LED array, which covers most of the cabin , with its own switch right on the side of the console, along with the white LED in the cockpit and sides of the cabin (all on separate switchs), Easy to turn on from the bunk , sitting at the helm or standing in the cabin. 0

I used these (or very similar) in my boat. You can see that they come with a bunch of adapters for different sockets.
