Re: LED light
I know everyone likes to knock the Chinese products, but with LEDs I've had very good luck and the prices are less than 1/4 of USA retail. Go to www.dhgate.com (similar to ali baba, but for small quantities). If you search on 30v LED you will get a ton of 9-30vdc and 10-30vdc rated items. They are much more reliable than the 24v ones - they tend to blow if your batteries are at full charge.
Be prepared to wait 3 weeks for delivery. Feel free to PM me for more details, as I've just done a major conversion using Chetco's dimmer module.

Re: LED light
Just bought a bunch from 12V Monster. They sell bulbs that operate in what they call a "wide range" rated to operate anywhere between 24 to 85 VDC.
Bought the biggest honkers I could to put down in my generator room. Just have to check dimensions on each bulb to make sure they'll fit in the fixture. If it's a standard incandescent it should have an E26 base.Brian L

Re: LED light
Just an alert about the new tariffs: I had some leds sent from Canada and 25% tax was added to the bill. It was labeled as being of Chinese origin, sent from Alberta.

Re: LED light
I have a 67' EDMY with a 24 volt system. Bulbs on the deck courtesy lights didn't last at all. My dock mate had a 12v system and had purchased LED bulbs with good experience. Bought some from his source and installed them in August 2016 and all still burning!. Marinebeam LED Lighting. 843-885-8644. Nathan Gibson helped me at the time. Other multi-color cockpit and overhead lighting also. Very pleased.

Re: LED light
x2 on marinebeam. best to call them too. I have ordered 3x for my 32v, but somehow ordered the 30v the second time that did not last. call , leave a vm, and they call back in 10 minutes from charleston. very knowledgeable.
