I bought this off ebay and thought it was a one time deal. It seems the seller relisted another one after I bought it.
I haven't received mine yet, so I can't vouch for him yet.

$18 vs. $48 at other places.

If someone buys this, keep an eye out in case he relists another one.

I currently have a clear bulb and a red/green lens. Would I have to replace the lens?

They say you can't use a white LED for the red/green fixture. You have to use this red/green LED behind the red/green lens, or it won't look right.

See the FAQ note on this page:

Please note that you should use red LEDs with red or clear lenses, and green LEDs with green or clear lenses; not white LEDs with colored lenses.

Costs almost as much as a whole new fixture from Defender ($19.99), but may be worth it if you are worried about battery drain.

Got it today and it works great! :D

Looks like someone already bought the other.


I searched his other listings and found the white version of it. It was actually replaced by the "festoon star", but should work just as well, and again is only $18. lol


He has several other LED bulb listings for cheap!

I ordered one today. Looks like I got the last one. I really enjoy night sailing on the bay so Im transitioning a little at a time to LEDs. I need the stern light and interior LEDs.

This Mast Light is a pretty good deal too:

This guy seems to ship all his stuff Priority Mail, so they get to you in 2-3 days. My red/green bulb was super bright and worked great over the weekend. Can't wait to install the white stern light.

Looks like the Aqua-Signal Series 25 light...

I thought the Series 25 had a 20 watt deck light?

Still a pretty great deal for that light.
