Tons and tons and tons of LEDs all over FleaBay and superbrightleds.com < http://www.superbrightleds.com/> ;) You can find some LEDs to put in the existing fixtures for anywhere from a couple dollars on up. I am right now putting red LEDs and a while cold-cathode light into an Aqua Signal cabin light that I took the non-working fluorescent parts out of. These look handy for boat projects - http://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/led-module-strings/
Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Kevin Driscoll Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2014 1:40 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List LED BULBS IN GENERAL Allen, From one C&C 30 mkII to another, I would not go the route of the Alpen Glow overhead lights. In my opinion, they may be fine for the older, somewhat more traditionally designed boats with lots of little teak bits, but the integrated lights in the headliner of the Robert Ball era boats are integral to the interior. I would use the Alpenglow reading lamps, which seem nice (though pretty darn expensive), but I would replace the overheads with something that fits underneath the diffuser in the headliner. I've opted for the easy way and bought the Marinebeam led fluorescent replacement bulbs, which fit into the existing fixtures. We've used them main cabin, in the head and also the aft cabin on our 30-2 and are quite happy with them. We've opted for the middle color temperature of the three. I would not go with the warmest temp. Of course there are other solutions, but this seemed the most cost effective with a minimal amount of dickering. The reading lights on the 30-2...well they are kind of cheap and throw a bit of glare. That is something I consider replacing in time. Best, Kevin
