Is there an equivalent LED for the deck light bulb

[tudorsailor]

I have a deck flood light that takes the GE 4593 28V 50W bulb. It is rarely used by seems to fail after 2 years of being bounced around on the mast. I have done a quick Google but there does not seem to be an obviously LED equivalent. I am assuming that a solid state LED would last longer and save my going up the mast

If anyone has an alternative, I would be most intersted

Thanks

I don't know if there's a direct LED replacement, but if you have an old unit you might want to see if you can take it apart and replace the bulb with something like this.

This one's a 12v version, but some 12v led's work with a range of voltages between 10v and 30v, so you'll have to check.

The boat lamps one looks good for attachment to a spreader. The problem with LEDs is that they tend to shine in one direction only. (which is what you want) They are then often mounted around a stem to emulate a filaiment bulb. If you use one of them they need a reflector to get the light back in one direction. Firther high powered lED often need a heat sink. All this means you are really better looking for a new fitting with LED rather than looking for a replacement LED bulb. There are good chaep LED flood lights from China. I am not sure about running on 24v system. Might need a power converter. good luck olewill
Two of these in series might work OK

+1. I used the boat lamps one. Perfect. Brighter than the incandescent bulb it replaced, longer life, less power. Win win win .
