Previous owner switched to LED bulbs, but we didn't like the effect. I switched all the fixtures to these:

It takes a little bit of electrical work to cut out the old fixtures and splice in the new ones. The 3000K are brighter than the LED bulbs we previously had. We put 4000K in the head. I don't notice much of a difference between the 3000K and 4000K, but my wife likes it.

It is nice to be able to switch out the trim rings for $2 each. We tried one in the salon with different trim rings before committing to redoing the entire boat.

Elsewhere on the forum are links for the Dream Lighting LED fixtures. Those are available in multiple quantities from Amazon.
