This is from the dome light on my 02 260 Sundancer. Think it's the 12v bulb? I want to replace it with a high quality led bulb
What kind of led replaces this?

See if you can find a matching bulb from here: http://superbrightleds.com
This is where I bought all of my LEDs for my 2010 240DA, and my current 350DA.
I was able to find an LED to replace everything on the boat.
If you Shop By Project you can select boat/marine lights.
If I remember correctly, I bought my replacement from Super Bright LED's. I just looked through their site till I found one that matched up. Yes, that is your 12V light (which of course, can be verified by it only working when on battery power only... and the other one will not).

I just bought 26 of the G4s from Marinebeam yesterday. They are to replace all of the 10 Watt halogens in my cabin (miniature space heaters!).
Make sure you ask for and get, the Cub Sea Ray 10% discount.

The bulb should have a number on the base that you can cross-reference on SuperBrightLEDs .com. Like others have already mentioned...I've replaced all of my bulbs with LEDs from them on all of my boats. They're cheap too...I just placed an order on Sunday for 4 LEDs to replace the cockpit lights on my boat and it was only $40 including shipping.
Find the number on your bulb, cross-reference and verify with the photo they show you on the website...easy.

So what bulb would be the best replacement for this one? The cabin fixtures have this bulb in them.

That is a G4. That is exactly the bulb in the overhead light in my cabin. I have had somewhat of a time finding an LED that was bright enough, but I think I found one at Marinebeam.com. Good luck!

I went with the cheap ones and replaced them all with Marinebeam. The quality of light is a step apart and well worth the extra spend.

I have gone with the cheap ones and the jury is still out. I will likely be doing as you did.

To loop this back around, I searched to find my answer before posting a new thread.. I wanted to know the total wattage of the ones inside my cabin ('99 310 DA). I bought 20 Watt versions online, and they were exact replacements, but run very very hot, and weren't as bright as the others. Perhaps they're 25 or even 40 watt. I want to buy LED ones to match, but I really don't know what wattage I have. If it's close or brighter, I won't care, but LED I definitely want to go.

Were these bright enough? I'm thinking of getting some.

I have forgotten most of what I learned when researching LEDs. Seems they like to rate them in lumens. Google it and get some idea of what you are looking for-you can see how many lumens a 30 watt halogen is and look for an LED of comperable lumens. I mostly bought the cheapos off of ebay and thus far, have been very pleased. No heat issues and brightness is very good. I do remember this....I initially bought a few of the "cool white." They should be renamed cold white-very cold color. Went back with "warm white" and that was what I wanted.

Did you ever get the ones from marine beam? You stated you were going to try the G4-21, 300 Lumens. I was curious also where you got your current LEDs from, if eBay, do you still have the original eBay store name, or link? I had a shortage on the boat, and blew quite a few out and I have a night cruise in about 2 weeks, so I'd like to get these replaced before then.
