I have a 84 c25 and I had my much smaller brother climb the mast for me to replace the anchor light. I sent him up with the German style festoon bulb and he said it was a twist lock socket. I did not know they used those. I asked if it said anything on the housing and he said china. Anyways messed with the bulb and got it to work so he didn't take it down and I want to replace with an led. He said bulb was CE090. Anyone ever heard of this?

Nothing like dealing with no-name Chinese junk. Never heard of it and didn't find it in a quick search, unless you want an 090 art projector bulb

I ordered all new stuff today. Not even worth messing around with it. Thanks though.

West Marine offered a bayonet-style LED bulb on its clearance table for $18 each a few years back. I bought a few of them and modified two auto brake light receptacles and wired them up with about 20' of #16 wire with a lighter plug on the other end. I hang the pair of LED lights above my cockpit when at anchor in the evenings. It provides enough light to sit up on deck and find your drink or sandwich. Don't think I'd trust that for an anchor light though…

Found out what was up there. It was the pre 82 style anchor light. Not sure why it was up there, but good to go now. With Aquasignal 25 and led. Conversion.
