You Canadians don't have the benefit of Amazon Prime? That would suck... OK,
that could change my previous post.

Peter, If you are in Canada, you may try this
place:http://www.marineledscanada.ca/. I had good success with him. The best
thing is that he sails himself and knows a lot of different light fixtures from
dealing with other people. You can email him or call him and you should figure
it out. I had a problem with the anchor light (all bulbs that were originally
available were too long), but we eventually found something after a long string
of emails, pictures and measurements. And he is quite reasonably priced. Any
good source in the US would kill you with shipping. Marek Ottawa, ON

Well it can be a bit of a search for a correct bulb, at reasonable price, and
the manufacturers often don't always give very clear info. I've been looking
at LED festoon bulbs to convert a new Perko horizontal mount stern light on my
27 (the small 'dome' type), mounted in the teak trim on the stern. Previous
owner had replaced the dome on the original fitting (same style as the Perko)
with a all-round one (!), and the light itself was pretty deteriorated. So the
bulb is 31mm 'type 71', not the larger, much more common, 42mm. I've found
Dr. LED bulbs at $40+ (CAD) (part number 9000173) that are clearly identified
as a nav light replacement. Then there is the Victory SourceLED at $16 that is
only identified as 'for Perko lights'. I'll probably go for the Dr. LED. At
least I found an unused Perko fixture at a marine consignment shop for $22,
rather than the $75 I was quoted otherwise. By the way, I looked at the
Victory stern lights of the same style. Couldn't find a LED socket-type bulb
that would fit. And the Sea Dog versions you find all over the place (which I
think would have the same issue with LED bulbs) have not been tested to
international standards. _______________________________________________
