Snapdragon Navigation Lights 'S L'

[Mariner69]

I have used the Search facility but could find no references to my particular problem.

The port and starboard navigation lights, probably the originals from the build in the 1970's, have now deteriorated to the state that replacements must be fitted.

There are no maker's markings on them, except the letters 'S L' are stylised to a sail boat. The unit size is L= 110 millimetres, W= 75 at front, 55 at rear. H= 48 millimetres. Standard bayonet lamp holder inside.

Does anybody know where I can obtain the same or modern replacements?

Many thanks in advance.

"S L on a sailboat" could indicate Simpson Lawrence - now defunct!

I had the same problem when it came to replacing Lucas lights.

Any chandler/ mail order chandler/on line/ebay

Several reputable makes to choose from. also some cheapies.

Type/power will depend on size of boat ( length) but Snapdragon will only need 10 watt ( festoons) or equivalent

If smaller stacks fit soft white LED bulbs (a tenner a pop) to normal lights. Not quite as official, but seems to work fine.

If you want lights which are about the same size, you might consider these LED lights at £40 for the pair - http://www.force4.co.uk/department/...ort-starboard-led-navigation-lights-pair.html

+1 these are brilliant in so many ways and not much dearer than fittings for incandescent globes. They come in white as well. good luck olewill
