[C320-list] LED Bulbs for Anchor Light

[John Frost]

I replaced mine (#1118) and found it to be a double ended festooned bulb.
The new bulb is MUCH brighter and uses hardly any current. One note, LED
bulbs only work with current going one way. If your festooned doesn't come
on at first, reverse the bulb. My installer figured this out on his own.

Happy Sailing!

Subject: [C320-list] LED Bulbs for Anchor Light

Has anyone exchanged their anchor light bulb with an LED bulb?  My manual
said I had an Aqua Signal 25 series anchor light-needed a double-festooned
bulb.  Bought the bulb (ouch) and found out that I had a 15mm single based
bulb (like a typical automobile style bulb) up there.  I found a Dr LED bulb
with same base at West Marine but bulb height is taller than original bulb.
Hate to buy it and go up the mast to find out that it's too tall.  Looking
for suggestions or anyone with a successful experience.
