Re: LED anchor light

Post by belladonna »

I have a 2005 C350 #368 and wish to replace my anchor light bulb with an LED bulb. Does anyone know the brand (Hella, Imtra, etc.) of the actual fixture and bulb that came with the boat from the factory?
Thanx,
Jim

Hi Jim,

This is the deck light I have on my boat, which may not be the original, but it works very well. https://store.marinebeam.com/5w-mr16-de ... r-mr16-5w/

Thanx for your response Bill and Mark but I was asking for the brand of the fixture atop the mast, not the replacement bulb type. I already have the bulb information from your previous posts.
Thanx,

I tried replacing the original bulb with a LED several times with the same results. At first it was fine and then over time it would get increasingly dim. I finally gave up and replaced the whole anchor light assembly with a LED unit. No problems.

Thanx for your reply 'yodagwb'. What brand of LED anchor light assembly did you replace it with? What year is your C-350, mine is a 2005 # 368?
Just want to ensure that the original anchor light assemblies are the same.
Thanx,
Jim
