I have a Beneteau 37, year 2008, and I want to change the mast head light (anchor light) to and LED. The new Beneteau 37 uses a HELLA 2 LT 980 910 157. Does anyone know if this Hella light will fit without redrilling for mounting screws? What is the cost of the new Hella light?
Thanks
Robert

Why don't you just change the bulb? This is what i did to my hella light.
Philip, This is what I want to do but not sure what type led bulb to get. I don't want to make two trips up the mast! What type did you get and from where? Are you happy with the light output compared to the halogen one? How many watts was the halogen and how many the LED? Thanks.

This is what i have. The original bulb was a BA15s (bayonet or what ever is called) and i got an led replacement from Greece (are you Greek? Your surname is!).
The light ouput is cool white and it is OK. The halogen was 10w, the led i have no idea. For some reason it consumes so little that my BM1 battery monitor cannot measure the consumption (though it did for the halogen;around 0.7 amp).

Thanks for the additional information. Yes I am Greek and I'm surprised you picked up on it because most people will ask if it's Arabic! You say you got the bulb from Greece, do you live in Greece? My plan is to sail the Aegean in the next couple of years.

The bulb for the 2008 Beneteau 37 is a SV8.5 type bulb and it has slipped out of the contacts in the past. This light does not accept the bayonet type bulb and that is why I want to make the change to the sealed LED light used in the newer Beneteau 37s so I do not have to go up the stick to change of fix it again. Has anyone with the older Beneteau had experience with changing the older model fixture anchor light to the new LED variety and does it take redrilling the holes to fit the new fixture?
Thanks
Robert
