Cabin bulbs replacement with LEDs

posted 06-23-2013 by Don Thompson

Our 1987 Hunter Legend has 16 #1141 bayonet base light bulbs (BA15s base, S8 envelope) that draw at least 18 watts (1.44 amps). I ordered 17 BA15s Bayonet Base 9 LEDs SMD LED Bulb Warm White with rectangle PCB, 9-SMD5050 LED,warm white from Amazon (ZITRADES). I used 2 part velcro tape to apply the LEDs to the top of the reflector. The install was pretty quick and I am happy to report that only LED assy. would not operate (returned for refund). I cannot tell the difference between these and the incandescent light bulb that we replaced. These LEDs draw less than 2 watts
