Courtesy lights

Post by joreyn »

Does anyone know who the manufacturer or supplier of the amber courtesy lights on the later Albins was. I have a broken lens and need a replacement. It has a stainless ring with two screws. The ring is 3 1/8 inches diameter.

Since nobody else has chimed in ... I know that they bought some things from IMTRA. You might try googling them and checking on their courtesy lights.
Not sure it will help but it's better than nothing.

Imtra does make great products ... Hella also makes the same size 2 wire courtesy lights. I recently changed out my cabin & helm area courtesy lights with LED's (red) ... the red helps a little with the night vision if someone steps into the cabin when underway at night .... Roxanne :roll: ....... http://www.defender.com/productsearchre ... _retry=yes clear, amber, red & blue with various trim ring options.

LEDs are great. The latest "rage" in our marina is folks are going on ebay and buying 12v LED strips and wiring them into their courtesy lights, and velcoing the strips under saets, gunnels, etc. The strips are cheap, waterproof, and come in various colors and lengths.
I even bought some and will place them under my side doors for night safety when boarding. I also plan on wiring a strip into my anchor light and I will try them for engine room lights.
This weekend one of planned experiments :roll: is to sink a couple just below the waterline for cheap, temporary night lights to attract aquatic life. :lol:

A buddy said that the courtesy lights aboard my 2006 28TE looked like they were LEDs. I think from the discussion that they are small incandescent lamps. Any ideas? I know that I could remove a lens to check, but this is easier and nothing will break.

Great Gatsby had something like this at the rendezvous last year. Had them in the rod holders.
