Helm dome light

[Jeremyvmd]

I was wondering if someone could do me a huge favor. Can you measure the diameter of the oem done light and post a picture of it to make sure its the same one I have? I forgot to measure yest and want to order a led two color replacement but forgot to. Boat is an hour away and I figured someone's gotta have their boat in their back yard...thanks a million in advance.

The dome lights on both of my Albin 28s (97 and 05 models) have a toggle switch to activate either a red or white 1142 (BA15D) bulb. I replaced the incandescent bulbs with white and red led bulbs. The nomenclature for bayonet mount bulbs is confusing with so many different codes. The 1142 has a double contact 15 mm base with parallel pins and can also be designated an 1156. The 1157 cannot be used because the radial pins are offset.

Pretty sure this is the LED equivalent

Mine is a single bulb white only light. Wondering if it's 5 or 7" as those seem to be the standard sizes im finding

Pretty sure it's 7". Annoying really because I was power washing the boat in a hail storm when you posted originally!

I'll be back on the boat tomorrow lunchtime to roll the covers back down, I'll measure it then to confirm.

Forgot to bring a tape down to the boat but I'll use my engineers eye and say it's the 7" version.

Thanks. I'll order the 7" one then!
