Kent & Eric We found the same problem and think it had to due with the charging of the batteries which took the voltage above 28V. We have found these LED spotlights work well and have had them for 3years and no problems. They are rated 9V - 30V and are really bright. They fit in the same receptacle that houses the old GE light bulb. http://www.grote.com/products/63821-5-trilliant-36-led-whitelight-tractorplus-pattern-spadescrew-connector-retail-pack/ 63821-5 – Trilliant® 36 LED WhiteLight™ Work Lamp, TractorPlus™ Pattern, Spade/Screw Connector, Retail PackPaul & Sue LaFranceSV NOMAD #362 To: amelyachtowners@...

Good morning Kent & Eric,
Just for info: For the cockpit I use the 13 Watt 60 degree and it is extremely bright. It is excellent for “work”, but too much for dinner. I might add a little filter to make it more romantic. So for dinner I simply use the dodger light (which I replace with LED). I have the same (13 Watt 60 degree) for the main but have not installed yet, so can’t give an opinion if the angle is too wide, etc. Will try to do install it this coming week.

Date: Sunday, May 31, 2015, 5:53 PM Kent,Based upon your description I guess you used the 13 watt units. 30 degree for the foredeck and 60 degrees for the cockpit.That is the only bulb that comes in 2 angles.Fair WindsEricKimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376 From: amelyachtowners@...

Subject: Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Supermaramu Mizzen Spotlight I'm not on the boat for a few weeks, but I have the model numbers for the mast-mounted deck and cockpit lights. The cockpit lite has a wider beam (more like a flood) and the forward deck lite has a narrower beam (more of a spot light).I still have a couple of spares of incandescent bulbs for these, but want to switch to LEDs when those are gone. The clips that hold the bulbs in on these fixtures have failed, and they are riveted to the masts. I found a PVC fitting that slides perfectly into the fixture, holds the bulb securely. I drilled three holes thru the fixtures and thru the 1" ring of PVC and secured them with small stainless bolts and lock nuts. Looks great and saved me having to replace the fixtures.

Subject: [Amel Yacht Owners] Supermaramu Mizzen Spotlight Hi everyone, As with most SM's ( and maybe 54s ?) I have spotlights on my main and mizzen masts. The bulbs are both Sealed Beam, GE 4505 28v 50w.I rarely use these lights. In 14 years I have not changed the bulb on the main ....but the mizzen bulb burns out at the least use. I must have replaced 5 or 6, and they are a crazy price.Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any suggestions as to the cause? As they are designed for aircraft and rated at 28v they should be easily rugged enough .It defies logic to think that for that bulb alone there is somehow more than 28 volts being delivered. Has anyone found an LED bulb that fits the same holder ?
