S2 Owners - does anyone else have this interior lighting?

[Matt White]

Hi all,

On my new-to-me 11.0A I have 8 of the lights pictured below and then just 1 of the "plastic woodgrain" lights I see on other 11.0s on Yachtworld. I am wondering if a previous owner replaced the plastic lights (see second pic) with the brass ones.

My real goal is to find LED bulbs for the 8 brass fixtures but it is difficult to determine the proper bulb to use to replace them.

Thanks for any pointers.

Matt

Looks like a G4 bi-pin. SBO should have them. Here are some pics of LED replacements

The plastic fixture is from the factory, I have 3 of the same on my S2 7.3. For those I cross referenced the LED replacement for the bulb that was in the fixtures.

Sorry I can't help with the others, but Justin seems to have the right information.

Matt this one in Warm would certainly work (3000K) G4 LED Bulb 15 LED SMD Mini Tower

I went with a bulb like this for the reading lights I have that are identical to your brass reading lights. I bought the "warm white" 300K bulb.

Thanks John - I will give those a try too. I have some samples coming from another source as well.

Let me know how they work out. I have found Marinebeam products to be top notch.

The plastic fixtures use an automotive tail light. Lunasea makes a direct replacement that gives a lot of light

The first bulb had failures in lest than one year they second has not failed in the first sailing season. I am not selling bulbs. Check online sellers. The price is very low compared to retail prices. Compare color 6000k white to 2700k warm white similar to older auto bulbs. Have 18 light fixtures and reduced current from 27 amps to 3 amps. To make cheap plastic look expensive Island Packet covered the lights is thin teak.

The bulb that failed in less the 50 hrs use.
