J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment led cabin lights

Has anyone replaced the bulbs in their main cabin with led bulbs? If so, do you know the bulb number?

Thanks.

I did - the route I took was to buy bulb adapters to covert to a G4 base. Once you can plug in a G4 bulb, there are a lot more options.

We evaluated a lot of G4 LEDs from a variety of sources (home depot, west marine, a few from random eBay sellers) till we found some that were lightweight, bright enough, and a "white" that we liked.

Ended up going with some we got off ebay that no longer appear available.

I'll see if I can dig up the bulb adapter part, but its basically just a little base that drops into the current plug, and has holes for the G4 pins on top.

Here are the adapters I got: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BA15D-G4-Ad...0&hash=item25666274f7#ht_2917wt_1344

Once you have those in place, there are G4 LEDs all over the place. They are not "marine" but so so cheap I just bought a bunch of extras. G4 LEDs are a bunch cheaper too.
