Our 1995 Hunter 40.5 has a few fixtures left that have the Perko 12v 9w wedge base bulbs that I would like to replace with LED's. SuperBright LED's says I can use any of their WLED mini wedge base models but I don't know which one to pick. These are the overhead lights in the fwd and aft heads and in the V-berth and the aft cabins.

Here is the link if anyone wants to take a look. I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

POTL.

IF you are referring to the dome lights, the info from my order is:

Wedge Base Warm White
WLE D-xHP10-D

Rick-That's perfect, thanks. Do you think there is a big difference in the warm white and cool white as far as brightness goes? I don't understand the whole lumens deal. The other LED's I have are the cool white.

For those, I'd go with the warm. You give up, as I recall, about 15% lumens, but the color is superior in those lamps and the light is at least as good as what was replaced. I mixed the others depending on where they were for other reasons (night sailing). Probably didn't need to. Warm white is fine.

Warm white it is then! Thanks for your help.
