Anchor light change to LED

[PeterBreit]

Hi there, I changed all my navigation and interior light bulbs to LED. Except for the anchor light. I believe it is an 360 degree Festoon bulb.
but I don't know the size 37 or 42mm ?
Any advice is very much appreciated.

Thank you

Anchor Light LED

I changed my anchor light to LED a couple of years ago. Mine is an Aqua Signal Series 25 which uses a 41mm festoon bulb. Since yours is a bigger boat it may have a larger version. I used a Dr. LED #9000241. It is a 39mm bulb, but has adapters to make it a 44mm. Works very nicely.

Recent aeticle in Sail Mag re merrits of chainging the bulb or replacing the fixture on navigation lights.We replaced the whole fixture for our anchor light 3 years ago,still uses the original two wires but is automatic (dusk to dawn) manual on/off,pulsating and a few other options works great.Will see if I have manufacturer name when I am on the boat in PM preping for upcoming hurricane this weekend

I stay corrected ! Went up the mast only to find out it is NOT a Festoon bulb.
It is a 43mm Barrel bulb. Now I have to find out if I can return the Festoon for an exchange...
Cheers
