Subject: Re: Stus-List Double fluorescent overhead dinette light fixture

I took the marine beam replacement led route.  The tubes weren't cheap 
(~$20/each) but a drop in replacement bulb that didn't need rewired or new 
holes or anything else was a big win.  I got the warm white ones.  I guess 
technically MB suggests rewiring the fixtures to bypass the florescent starting 
circuit.  Mine have worked just fine without the bypass.

For those of us that have older boats with the double fluorescent light fixture 
on the headliner, it's a Thin Lite Model 116.  The bulbs are F13T5's.

Mine started to flicker a bit this weekend so I explored replacement options.  
My first thought was marinebeam's replacement bulbs.  They also make a 
replacement fixture but the dimensions didn't match.

However, I discovered Thin Lite makes a direct replacement LED version.  Its 
Model LED126P.  I saw one on a marine vendor site called an M126P for $73.

Mine is still hanging in there but it's good to know a direct replacement is 
available.
