Hi Guys, I have been having a devil of a time trying to find LED bulbs to replace the standard bulbs in my running lights and my mast lights. The only one I have found for sure is the MR16 deck flood lite in WM.
Here are the bulb numbers off the standard bulbs already on my 2004 C250: F21 (Bow & Stern), TD3562 (Hellamarine), 5008 (Top of Mast), 6451 (Center Mast lite, upper bulb). The center mast light is a Forspar.
I have contacted several LED manufacturers without much success in getting the correct LEDs. If any of you have replaced these particular bulb no.s let me know. Also who you got them from.
Thanks - Roger

Check out the project section in my blog below. There is a link to a supplier. The new LED's are definitely as bright as their counterparts.

Search for LED in the SEARCH tool. There should be about 20 threads, each with links to suppliers

Here are a few LED suppliers I have bookmarked.

Here's a good comparison on brightness of LEDs versus other lighting options

And, of course, deal extreme:

Happy shopping.

Turk, nice web site. I had a Catalina 22 but never that clean.

Paul, Dang, those LED's are pricey. That reminds me, I gotta check anchor light.

If the Admiral would allow me to own a fleet, I would still have her . . .
