Sea-Dog 442232-1 Festoon LED Bulb, White, 12V
Sea-Dog 442232-1 Festoon LED Bulb, White, 12V — Product description
This Sea-Dog festoon LED bulb is a drop-in replacement for the warm, power-hungry bulbs in your boat's cabin, dome, and courtesy lights. Four white LEDs, a nickel-plated brass base that shrugs off the salt air, and a draw of just 0.24 watt on 12-volt power.
Festoon bulbs are those little tube-shaped bulbs with a metal cap on each end, and they're all over a boat. Cabin lights, dome lights, the courtesy light above the companionway. The trouble with the old incandescent ones is they run hot and pull real current. This Sea-Dog LED version fixes both.
You get four white LEDs in a 1-1/4 inch festoon package, running on 12.8 volts and drawing only 20 milliamps. That works out to 0.24 watt. Swap a handful of these in and the hit on your house battery practically disappears, which is exactly what you want on an overnight at anchor. The light is clean and white, not the tired yellow glow of a dying incandescent.
The base is nickel-plated brass, so it handles the damp and the salt without corroding up the way bare contacts do. It's a single bulb, so count your fixtures before you order. And check the length and end-cap style of your existing bulb to make sure this 1-1/4 inch festoon drops into your holders.

Frequently asked questions
What size festoon bulb is this?
It's a 1-1/4 inch festoon bulb with a nickel-plated brass base. Measure your existing bulb end to end before ordering to make sure it drops into your holder.
How much power does it draw?
Very little. It runs on 12.8 volts and pulls 20 milliamps, which works out to 0.24 watt. That's a fraction of what the incandescent festoon bulbs it replaces draw.
What color is the light?
White. You get four white LEDs for a clean, bright output instead of the warm yellow glow of an old incandescent bulb.
Does it come as a single bulb or a pair?
This is sold as a single bulb. If you're replacing bulbs in several fixtures, order one per fixture.
