Re: Puck Light LED Replacement Lamps on S426


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Last year I asked our rigger to install the Marine Beam LED deck light and a masthead tricolor/anchor light (with built-in solar switch) - might as well since the original standing rigging and some old running rigging was being replaced. The deck light works well; the mast head light however was not installed correctly, and I¡¯ll have to hire someone to fix it this fall. I was able to talk to the Rep at the Annapolis show for guidance how to correct it - they were very responsive when I showed him the photos. For now, it is a glorified anchor light. The rigger was suspicious of the low price (versus $600 for a W&P fixture) and did not think much of it. Others on this forum has had good luck with them.
Fingers crossed.

Since you mentioned Marine Beam, I¡¯ll chime in on some recent experiences. Several weeks ago I emailed MarineBeam about outfitting a boat with new LED lights, it would have been a substantial purchase, they never responded. Recently I have heard other stories of their unresponsiveness and a decline i product quality.?

If anyone has an idea about what is going on with MarineBeam, I¡¯d love to hear it.

I am replacing the halogen bulbs with LED lamps and the ones I bought for the ceiling puck light fixtures do not fit; they are too long and too thick.? These fixtures are smaller than the typical Perko dome light, and may only be on the more recent builds like the 386 and 426 [assuming they are original and the PO did not replace them.] ?The lamps appear to need to be < 1¡± in length. ?They are G4 / double pin. ?Am looking for warm white ~ 3,000 k light. ?

The lamps on Marine Beam and Super Bright LED do not look like they will fit the fixture. ?

What have people used??
