Led Bulb

Hi all,

I have an Aqua Signal Series 20 masthead light. It uses a small Halogen
Bulb 12V/5W. I would like to replace that with a led bulb. Anyone knows
where to get one of these?

Thanks,

Jeannette

    I readily replaced a mast-top incadescent anchor light globe (I think it was
    at least 10W) with an LED which had the same two staggered pins. Didn’t have
    to replace the light fitting, and have been very happy with the results.

    The LED globe was easily available from any of the well know boating shops
    in Sydney (Aust).
    Good luck.

    Try here:

    Does the 25 bulb fit the 20 base?

    I bought the 40 two years ago when they (Dr.LED) first came out. I am
    very happy with mine. Very low draw   … <70Ma and easily the most
    noticible of the bunch when at anchor. Contact points are gold plated,
    the "bulb" portion is a glued clamshell protective covering. – nice
    gear.

      The real concern here is that navigation lights are certified as a
    housing/lens/bulb combination. Change any of those components with a
    part that is not original and the light is not certified. Not
    certified means not legal, not legal means liable. We all make our own
    decisions and drive our own boats.
