Cabin Dome Lights - 90s era Legend

[jeepsailor]

Looking at replacing the cabin dome lights in my '92 Legend 35.5. Of course, I was at the boat this weekend, and of course, forgot to measure diameter of the existing lights, and the boat is 2 hours away. Anyone that has replaced the lights happen to remember the diameter? Or perhaps someone is on their boat, or close enough, they could get a measurement? Looking at the Seasense LED R/W dome light, just not sure if I need 5 1/2" or 6 3/4".

Thanks!

I'm not absolutely sure, but I think this is the same size as what you have.

Just curious, why wouldn't you just replace the conventional bulbs with LED type? I did that and they work like a charm. Same fixture, no hassle. I just removed one of the bulbs, took it to the store and they fixed me up with the proper LED match.

I'm actually doing the same with my anchor light. I had a brand new fixture purchased for $70 but ended up taking it back and buying two new LED replacement bulbs for less than $20.

Biggest reason for the fixture replacement is the added functionality of dual red/white bulbs. Do a lot of night sailing, and I hate having the night vision screwed up when I run below to grab something. Also, after 20+ years, at least one has a questionable bulb/wireing connection. And the fixture is only about $40.

I replaced the halogen bulbs in my overhead domes with these:

i had to modify the bases a little but I really liike 'em. When you switch it on, it comes on red.. then if you want white, you turn it off and back on again and it comes on white .. a nice, bright, warm white..

These might do the trick! A little more work, but less money. May have to order a couple and see how they work out.
