Anyone found any LED replacement bulbs to fit the small round inset roof lights on a Beneteau? think they are G4 type bulbs.

Some names for you to Google. Searolf, Ultraleds, Aten, Bedazzled and many more.

Thanks, however, no problem finding G4 LED's, it's just that they don't seem to fit the Beneteau lamps as they have a concave reflector that doesn't allow enough room for the LED to push in

G4 LEDs
I had to cut off (cautiously!) a 2cm disc from the concave reflectors
no problem at all

The LEDS from these companies do not have reflectors and have side pins which fit into the existing fittings. I fitted 4 today.

I ended up buying replacement LED lights complete. Same dimensions so an easy swap. My old lenses had suffered from the heat from the original halogen lamps and were looking rather tatty. My replacements were only 20 euro each.

reflectors
the reflectors are part of the lamp, but too shallow to accept G4 type LEDs (more bulky than original halogen bulbs)

The reflector is not required with LED replacements because all the light is pointing down. I got rid of my reflectors, fitted the G4 replacements with side pins (http://www.searolf.com/page15.html) and put the glass cover back on.

I can't see any way to remove the dished reflector as it seems to be an integral part of the lamp

I have also replaced all halogens with cheap LED G4 replacement bulbs (I got from http://www.lightingnext.com/disc-type-12-smd-5050-g4-led-lamp.html). I have bought the soft white ones because I don't like the cool white. Of course this is a personal taste. Colour wise they don't seem that good because the colour of some are yellow-white (as expected) but some others have a bluish color! But who cares, there were so cheap....Consumption wise, they are EXCELLENT. How long they will last? I don't know yet. I just bought them a couple of months ago.Just make sure you buy the ones with the site pin.

I replaced all my interior lights, 9 I think in my 2001 Oceanis with these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10x-G4-50...48?pt=UK_Light_Bulbs&var=&hash=item4d0a271f38

about 18 months ago, they were very cheap and I did not have to remove the reflectors but had to snip a bit off the led's legs to fit them. No problems so far.
This may not be the same supplier that I used.

I can't remember how, but my reflectors came out OK - I think I used a small flathead screwdriver to pry them out.
I also bought two different LED sizes from Searolf (6 & 9 SMD)to see which ones I preferred. The smaller ones just fit with the reflector in place.

Used boat lamps and there's fitted in no problem but iirc the reflectors looked easy to take out.

These fit without any adaptations to my beneteau 393.
