I replaced all three breakers for interior lighting last year due to failure.  
(One failed, but I replaced all three while I was at it.)  Before the breaker 
failed, lights that were on that circuit would dim, then brighten, then dim, 
etc.  This lasted a few weeks, then the lights stopped working.  No issues 
since I replaced the breaker, which was not expensive.

Happens, especially when said breaker is used as a switch like we do on our 
boats. Circuit breakers (at least on aircraft)were never designed to be used as 
a switch.

Frost day puts our 3 week summer cruise, headed to the Rendezvous next 
weekend..I am having an electrical issue. 

Has anyone had a breaker wear out and  not just stop working but, rather, begin 
to trip at a  lower load than their original level?
