Mast light Bulb

[1-Tntimbo]

My mast light quit working, I removed the bulb with intentions of replacing it, but have lost the bulb.

Does anyone have the correct bulb number for replacement. (2000 26X)
Thanks,
Tim

Are you talking about the steaming light..forward facing fixture?

Don't know about the X, but the M uses a 42mm festoon bulb.

26X bulb did not look like that, has flat drum type ends.

Then you probably need this kind of bulb

Here's a recent thread on that, including LED replacements. I have pics of mine on the second page, for reference. http://www.macgregorsailors.com/forum/v ... ad#p300252

I recently replaced my steaming light bulb. The original was a filament style festoon bulb. The new LED bulb has the cone-shaped contacts and came with cup-shaped adapters that slid over the cone ends to fit my style light assembly.

The mast light in an needs a barrel end festoon bulb, such as this one: http://marineledshop.com/navigation-bul ... el-festoon
I put one in last winter and it's exceptionally bright.

My guess is the cone shaped ends would work, however if it must be barrel ends, how about this one.

AFAIK, this is the original masthead (steaming) light, as found on my .







Looks like the bulbs ends are flat, with a small dimple in the ends.

If you want to replace with LED, replacement bulbs are available which come with multiple terminal caps, including pointed and flat caps.

Tom, that looks like an old style festoon bulb. It pinches in from the ends, so I do believe the cone end style would still work. I manually bent the ends of my connectors to add more spring tension to hold it in tighter. Looks much like the M steaming light if you ask me.


Also should be noted that LEDs are polarity sensitive. Festoons are easy to reverse polarity by inverting it if not lighting up.

I finally got around to ordering an LED from this company. I installed it and it is quite bright too. Maybe now I will actually use this light once in awhile. Because of the electrical consumption, I never used the old filament bulb.
