Why Me.

[oldgit]

Replaced three white incandesant nav lights , (only one had actually failed) .
Purchased 3 x LED bulbs in the spirit of no expence spared and doing things properly just the once.
Weird things happened and the lights activated did not correspond to the switches turned on.
Purchased at great expence and fitted 3 more incandesant bulbs and everything back to normal.
Edison got it right,unfortunately we have learnt nothing since and Outdrives and IPS are proof.

Is the boat mostly 24V with 12V lamps ?

When I read the title, I thought an engine had blown up or something.

Nope, led lights not working. The horror!

Could the bulbs be fitted the other way round?

Have you considered underwater lights?

Changing my navigation white light takes twelve men....one man to go up the ladder...one man to hold the ladder...and ten men to yell ‘are you crazy !...get down from there !’

Nope everything 12v
Shall carefully put these with all the other useless boaty stuff bought over the years.
