Warm white led lighting

[zeehag]

i found that 1156 replacement bulbs work ar better than the allegedly marine fixtures i tried for so ridiculously much more money.
just because something says marine use does not mean it actually is worth anything.

Zeehag, my anchor light was an 1156 or similar base. I replaced it with a multi led bulb off of eBay with the same base. It's much brighter than the old bulb, and I've used it for probably 30 nights in the past 3 months, and it's working great. Power consumption is nil.

my anchor light used to be oil... couldnt find decent oil here, so i converted it to led, using an 1157.
used 1157 only because i bought the wrong ones.. i have brightest anchor light going in my area. you should see what a fresnel lens does with a bright led....lol...

autozone has 1156 and 1157 a lot cheaper than i found in marine stores..... same exact light bulb... go figger....
