LED bulb replacements found a great website

Thinking about picking up a few bulb replacements for the stock Ericson interior lights -- check out the website..

I've never done business with them before but tempted to make an order and see how they work. Prices seem very resonable.

Also has anyone gone with Interstate Marine batteries? Curious what your thoughts are on them? I found Apex Group 30 batteries for $206 with free shipping at a $ price point - seems like a resonable deal

Full Tilt,
Your link took me to Apex batteries, group 27. IMHO, $206 is way too much for a standard, lead-acid, group 27 battery. Your local Costco or Walmart super store could probably do a lot better - like less than $100 for a deep cycle marine group 27.

I'm with Keith.

I use Costco Group 27 and change them out every other year.

Can't beat the price and I'm just a weekender so I really don't need the 6 volt set up or any expensive marine batteries. All I need is to run my refrigerator for three days and Costco does the trick.

Five years ago I replaced all my 12 volt bulbs with units from SuperBrite-I felt their prices fair and products have been durable.

Hey guys, read the specs.

That' an AGM battery in the ad. I agree it's too expensive, but it includes shipping, for what that is worth.

LED candle lights

If anyone likes candle light during dining on their boats IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE LIT CANLDES ON A BOAT. However,

http://www.sailorssolutions.com/

has some real nice LED canldes that flicker and look like real candles for $9.99

Uses 2 AA batteries and if you want you can even use recharable batteries.
I purchased three and it sure looks moody on my boat. Practical sailor also has recomended those as being nice and reasonably priced.

For a number of years I have also used a SQUID LIGHT which I hang from the zipper over the table middle on my E-381 and it lites up just the table so I can see the food better at night. It is almost like a chandelier aiming the LED's down or in any direction because the LEDs are adjustable..

Check them out if you are interested in interesting lighting on your boat.

Target -- Colman 3 AA - led lanter $10 runs roughly 150hrs on a set of batteries. HRs per batteryload to be tested but a great value for the money. Very small and puts out a decent amount of light. REI has the same exact one only with a different lense for $30

Agreed, But

I use this in tents and my boat! As safe as it gets for the REAL deal! REI or any camping store.
