Does anyone have real world experience with replacing Aqua Signal Series 25 fixtures with some other manufacturer/type? My 96 fixture lenses are pretty worn and the series 25 isn't made any longer. New fixtures that are LED would be a bonus to me.

Thanks,
Mark

See my post titled "Navigation Lights" in the General Sailing Forum for answers to my question about LED replacement lights for my Aqua Signal Series 25 fixture.

As a FYI, I'm not sure any of the fixtures or bulbs mentioned are CG approved but I could be wrong.

I do have one of the Dr. LED bulbs mentioned and the light is very bright and the color looks natural (ie: red looks red, green looks green). The only issues I've had are 1. the bulb tends to blink off and on sometimes when hitting even small waves and 2. I worry about it possibly not being CG approved.

I did just find this CG approved LED replacement fixture at Marine Beam. Looks like the bolt hole pattern may be different but that's a minor issue. This fixture is CG approved.

If you go this route let us know how it turns out.
