Overhead Salon Light-420DA

[bbwhitejr]

In our new to us 2003 420DA, there is an overhead light in the salon that contains 2-24” fluorescent tubes. One of the tubes is burned out. I am having a hell of a time finding a 12v-F17T8 soft white tube. Anyone had to replace like in the past?

Maybe convert to led

I got tired of fighting tubes and pins. I would suggest some type of led strip light or a fixture that will visually be pleasing but more functional. Get rid of the headache️

I replaced everything up there with led when I bought the boat 5 years ago... including my cracked white plexiglass and rope lighting..... then I never used it again. We always use the pot lighting that is led now too

Have put LED every where else. Found some LED tubes that will work to the tune of $25 each. Guess I’ll give them a try. Thanks!

@bbwhitejr - here is a write up with pics of the salon fluorescent to LED conversion I did in September 2018:

it is an anal thing that if it is there, use it or not, it should work...
