Dual Colour LED cockpit lights.

[Whitelighter]

I have been looking to replace my cockpit lights with some LED jobbies. Fancied somewhich were switchable from White to Red, and thought the red would be good for night running. I found two options at SIBS, one from Hella Marine which are their EuroLED lamps, but these are a bit to big for my Radar arch. I also found some which are about the same size as my current lights but cannot remember the name of the manufacturer or the distributor. At the show the stand was manned by mainly ducth chaps and the model was an 'oyster' LED Bi-Colour lamp, but beyond that they had no brochures spare and didn't have any stock.

Tried Googling it and it comes up blank. ECS also not got any in stock. Can anyone help?

You could paint a confusing picture at night.

How? Red LED lights are such low level the whole boat wouldn't glow red. In fact, I would have thought it far less confusing than the brilliant white cockpit lights I have now.

I like the idea Jez, I had some from B&Q that I installed in my stairs in the house and they could be switched to any colour as a bonus they had a party mode when they would change in time to the music, not sure how they would fare in a marine environment but they were only about £70 quid

Re: hm

Duely noted old boy.

As for the trasiest forumite, you clearly havent been hanging out at a certain south coast marina on Saturday nights. Like a ruddy schools disco down there with multi coloured boat lights!!!

Neither. S_____S

Re: hm

ah but i thought you said "marina". Whereas Sparkes wisely doesn't call itself a marina due the fact that it is more closely described as "a bunch of floaty pontoons chucked into a bit of river with main feaure being the bogs are open 24hours"

Seriously, these are a good product and help running at night. Means I wont keep falling over myself when I can't see (plus they are a bit cool.)

 

[aztec]

i'd be up for some of those too...

discount for bulk buy?

i'd need 10?

To be fair Steve, they aren't expensive to start with - $22 each. They are 3 5/8 inch in diameter and need two 12v power sources swtched to change from red to white.
