LED Anchor Light C30

[tdellaviola]

Hi All,
I have looked thru various posts looking for an LED light replacement on a 2014 C30. I did find reference to "8-LED Isotropic 31mm Festoon Bulb". Can anyone confirm what LED bulb replaces the current anchor light?
And potentially where to purchase in Canada?

thank you

marinebeam.com sells the right unit.
they might ship to Canada?

i had an email exchange with the team at marinebeam on this topic because the one I bought was too large. they pointed me to:

Huh, That’s really strange, because my anchor light just burned out on my 2018 RT 27 OB. Was surprised to find a 42 mm festoon bulb. I had to squish the contacts down to make the spare 31 mm festoon I had work. Most festoon LED bulbs, of course, only have LEDs on one side and a heat sink on the other, so not ideal. I did find some 42 mm 2700K 360° bulbs. Not sure if they’re bright enough. I will report back if they appear to be. The 31mm bulb is certainly the easier one to find.

super interesting.

I think they must have changed/used different anchor light housings on these boats. I originally ordered a 42mm from Marinebeam pretty sure because someone else had a 42mm light but then discovered that it was too long as the hella unit installed would only take the shorter bulb. I have a email exchange with marinebeam returning the longer 42 to get the 31mm shorter version!

I guess the message is: go check what length you have installed before ordering!

+1 to checking. FWIW the 42mm (specifically, 30-LED 42mm Cone End Festoon - Mini-Max (FS-42-30C)) fit perfectly on our 2019 C30S, so I kept the original bulb as a backup.
