LED navigation lights

[Alain Brauckmann]

I just found this on the net because I am planing to change my navigation lights to LED

I thought about installing the N° # 21 as anchor light.

For the others ( red/green/white/engine navigation)  ...  do I need # 22,  or  # 23  ?

Alain, be careful as just few of them are USCG certified. Of course they will work anyway, but in case of problems, like insurance for instance, it might be a nightmare. Some publicize they have such certification, but you should ask for it in written.

Yes, I know ....

thats why those LED are much more expensive than the other ones ...

Specially the anchor light is really interesting, because it automatically switch of ones the morning is coming ....

The LED' s came by post .... they look really professional!
End of Mai, I am going to test them ( once Benetau have finished to repair again !!! my boat )

[Ricardo Negrini]

Alain, what you ended up with ? The short or long bulb ?

[Alain Brauckmann]

long bulb of course ....

In my area and trajectories you defiantly need it

[Ricardo Negrini]

Great info, once you have installed them, let us know how it goes and how easy was that.

[Alain Brauckmann]

I'll mount them today ... and will report next week, after we have tried it.

The LED worke fine BUT I noticed that we dont have every where the same bulbs ...
The one in the mast and the anchor light have a different socket than all the others navigation lights ....Now I have to change them in order to use my anchor LED ....
Crazy french stuff !
