I enjoy the company when running the boat from the aft deck helm (43DC) but at night they often want to turn on the dome light which does not help my night vision. I found a replacement which has a white flourescent and a red led and two levels for each.
The light came from( http://www.alpenglowlights.com/vmchk/overhead-lights/9-watt-dual-power-and-led-night-vision.html ) and is manufactured here, well in Montana.
The customer service is about as good as it gets. The first light failed after a few months, I called, spoke to the owner who was very apologetic. Told me the failure was very unusual, asked me to mail it back and offered to repair and return or send me a new one. I was impatient and chose the new light. I received it in a few days and later and although didn't ask for it, was sent a check for the cost of mailing in the new one.
The light provides much more lighting than the old perko dome and the red light does not interfere with boat operation. It fits within the smooth space where the old light was located.
