So one of my docking lights burned out with about 2 hours total use over 2 seasons. It is a MR16 halogen bulb. I assume someone touched the bulb during installation causing premature death. Looking at replacements. Can go with another halogen, or for a few $$ more can use an led. Problem is the leds are all rated for 12v, and when I ask the manufacturer they say running at 14.6v while the engine is on will over voltage them, causing earlier death. But, they won’t say if earlier is 10000 hrs instead of 20000 or 10 minutes.
Anyone have any history with 12v led over voltage and life expectancy changes?
