Cabin Downlights

[image][image][image]Im sure Ive seen a post about the Halogen Downlights but I dug deep and found some information that I thought might benefit all the members.
Replacement downlights. I found a supplier of almost like for like downlights. THese are the closest I have found to the OEM form factor. I ordered Lights from several Suppliers and compared them. The puck lights from aqlightinggroup.com look identical to Carver OEM with only one difference. They have a couple types and package deals, but I bought this one... model “IUC-CPH-WHT”. See the pics.
Pluses;
They are the same diameter.
They are halogen.
They use the same G4 bulbs as the OEM lighting.
They will surface mount to the ceiling with no modifications. (At least they did in my boat)
Price is 16 dollars each.
Minuses;
They are about a quarter inch taller than the OEM lights.
Aqlighting offers a LED version, but they are a little too pricey and the LEDS appear to be permanently installed in the fixture. I prefer to be able to change bulbs myself. I wanted to get away from Halogen anyway, so I ordered G4 LED replacement bulbs from amazon. These….. “ 6-Pack Dimmable 3-Watt T4 G4 disc LED Bulb 12V-24V AC/DC, 24SMD2835 LED”
They should fit right into the existing OEM fixtures and the AQlighting fixtures.(The little capacitor on the back may make them crooked in the fixture. I have my eye on another non dimmable LED that will sit flat. )Cool feature is that these LEDS are dimmable! Haven’t found the right 12v dimmer switch yet, but when I do, I'll share that too…
The yellowish bezel is Carver Original. The white one is AQlighting.
