Anchor/Steaming light

Black_Diamond

Anyone found an LED replacement for just the light part (not an LED bulb)?

Cableguy Greg

I found the Attwood direct replacement.

Here is the transom light that fits. I was able to use the same screw holes.

Thanks! Hopefully I can use just the light part, my mast is a bent shape to reach around my radar unit.

@Black_Diamond did you end up with any of these LED anchor lights?

I was going to say that even my 280 was converted to all led. Not by me but previous owner

Cool term---steaming light.

Cableguy Greg

@jmichels it is very bright.

@Cableguy Greg does that Attwood light fit the OEM assembly? Or did you have to reuse the hinge-thingy lol

Cableguy Greg

When I was going to replace the all around light, I contacted Attwood about the mount (hinge-thingy) and the one on the new LED one is different. They told me to reuse the existing mount. I ended up not replacing the all around light and just replacing the bulbs with LED bulbs, which must be lost on a boat between China and Pittsburgh. The transom light fit perfectly with the same mounting holes.

@Cableguy Greg  What LED bulbs did you purchase?

Black_Diamond

I'm going to have to cobble up a solution for my all around light.  Too many issues with water messing up the bulbs, but my all around light has a custom (near as I can figure) arm to go around my radar.  So need an LED light part I can adapt to the pole. 

Cableguy Greg

I got these ones...

They haven't shown up yet, so I can't report on that...

Which size @Cableguy Greg ?

frenchship

Those one are 31mm long but some anchor and steaming lights take 41mmm. I have the 31 and they are very bright, would have to measure the one on your boat

Not gonna be very bright if you are using for the stern light. They are only 228 lumens.

 I found some pretty bright interior led replacement bulbs for the cockpit lights 

Cableguy Greg

It was 31mm.

frenchship

They are a lot brighter than the original one

Cableguy Greg

Here are the new LED's from the link above.

Are there any decent solar powered anchor lights out there?  It seems like the best application for such a light. I'm just not sure if the tech is there yet?

NavyCTRC

I doubt the USCG would approve solar power for any of the required lights, including anchor.

Even if it had 12v back up?  

NavyCTRC

I doubt it, but I suppose it's possible one day. 

Cheers,

Aren't buoy lights solar? I'm sure there Coast Guard approved? I'm pretty sure I've seen solar anchor lights on sail boat masts also.

NavyCTRC

I am lucky enough to work with a couple Coasties, the great thing about the Coast Guard when it comes to boating equipment is they are all about safety...period.  If the USCG issues a citation, it was for something safety related and they receive ZERO percent of the revenue from issuing citations, so they don't do it all that often.  The marker lights you mention as being solar will get reported very quickly if they aren't working.  As for solar powered lights, they are all for them since they would have to be connected to a 12v source to work at night anyway.

How many lumens should the mast light be?  I want to get these that are 375. @Cableguy Greg yours was plenty bright?  Is there a rule for how bright?  Mine now is beyond dim.
