Bulbs needed for Head and Galley

[miketcook]

Anyone know where I can get bulbs for these lights? I called a couple of places, and they had bulbs of this form factor, with the four pins, but said they were for 120v, not 12v. Am not sure that is correct. There is a 12v wire going into these fixtures.

Is it worth trying to find bulbs, or just replace with an LED fixture?

I replaced my fluorescent tubes with LEDs, but they had standard ends.

Have you checked on www.marinebeam.com ? They have a great assortment of old lamps to compare to select LEDs. At least you could identify it properly. Good luck.

I have the same over my sink.. I found replacements at Home Depot.. If you remove it, there will be numbers on the top side that can be used to cross reference..

They can even build replacement LED bulbs to fit a fixture.

I would look into Home Depot as a previous poster noted.

Do note this for fluorescent fixtures--the bulbs do NOT use the same voltage as the supply voltage (whether the supply voltage is 12V or 120V. There is a transformer in all fluorescent fixtures that steps the supply voltage up to a much higher voltage.

So, you MIGHT be OK because the bulb will see the higher stepped up voltage and not really "know" what the supply voltage is. . . .for real. I would do as was suggested and simply try to match the old bulb at Home Depot. Just be ready to turn things off really quick if you try it out and it gets funky
