Direct-replacement LED ceiling interior lights (Jeanneau)

[Ric]

The interior ceiling lights on my Jeanneau need replacing - ideally with warm glo LED lamps. Ideally I would like them to fit into the existing holes - approx 40mm - sorry not on boat to make an exact measurement. However, they are a type of ceiling light that I see on lot of boats so presumably fairly standard? I need to replace the entire unit, not just the bulbs.

Does anybody know of a supplier or RELIABLE LED replacements. Happy to pay a premium price for a reliable solution.

We replaced ours with bulbs from Searolf. Google them. Very helpful and when I ordered the wrong Led bulbs they replaced them without question.

Unfortunately I need to replace the whole fittings.

A few years ago I saw a thread where somebody had found some non-boaty lights that happened to fit the holes perfectly. They even came with a 240v/12v transformer which one could use as a doorstop if I recall correctly ;_).

Unfortunately I cannot find this thread..

Why do you want to replace the whole light unit?

Assume you have the circular flush fitting unit with G4 halogen bulbs. Changed mine (SO45.2) to G4 LEDS - took out the reflector in each unit and the ones that I use (from LEDHUT) deliver excellent light characteristics.

I've replaced all the ceiling lights on my Westerly with these adjustable recessed LED down lighters - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-3W-3-...lb-/350680741926?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:GB:3160
They are slightly larger than your 40mm and a few mm larger diameter than the recessed lights on mine, but a few minutes with a file to open the hole up did the trick.
They look really nice and give a bright warm light, far better than the LED bulb replacements I used before.

Those look perfect. I will go down to boat tomorrow and measure exactly the size of the hole. Do you have a measurement of the hole diameter that is required?

Did you not look at the Ebay listing? It's all in there.

I'm down at the boat at the weekend, I'll measure up and let you know.

A 1.5" (64mm) diameter hole allows a loose fit on the light and gives room for the spring loaded clips to pass through the hole.
If you did away with those, you could get away with a hole if diameter a few mm less.

Do they put up with charging voltage ok? Or is a regulator required?

They have a regulator circuit in the little white box attached to each lamp.
I've had no problems with my lamps using my smart charger
