Galley Light fixture replacement?

Postby boatingbob » April 12th, 2017, 3:55 pm

Hi All!

I have a 1995 Carver 390 CPMY and one of my under-cabinet galley light fixtures failed. It would be easiest to replace with a like fixture, but I'm having trouble finding it, since the fixture has no identifying markings other than "Model L-001, made in Taiwan".

Anyone know where I can get a fixture like this, or a similarly sized fluorescent or LED fixture that I can just put in its place? Thanks!

I went to a local marine supply store and replaced my non functioning fluorescent with a LED light fixture of same length. Cost about $60 CDN. Probably could have found cheaper options on ebay or amazon but was in a hurry to replace it. I have a 2nd fluorescent above the galley counter that I will eventually replace with LED as well.

Take all the old lights out and install something like this. Way more light and inexpensive

If you're looking to keep the same look/fixture, you can also replace the fluorescent tube with an LED conversion. They are 12 volt units so you simply bypass the electronics inside the fixture and hook up direct to the 12 volt wires already going to the fixture. Just another option.
