Our 328 Vista came with 5 fluorescent dual bulb fixtures in our galley. One is mounted above mirror in V-Berth, one above galley sink under cabinets and three are mounted in larger oval shaped housings in galley ceiling. I have replaced the fluorescent fixture above the V-Berth mirror with a different 12 volt fluorescent fixture but I can't seem to find that fixture being available now.

The fluorescent fixture above the sink just crapped out, so I would like to replace the 3 fluorescent fixtures in the galley ceiling with new and use one of the three fixtures from the galley ceiling for above the sink. Then I'll have a spare as well since these things are probably aging and failing.

Question is have any of you guys found a suitable replacement for these 12 volt dual bulb fluorescent fixtures that would be a reasonably priced alternative? The three galley ceiling fixtures each seem to have a little different color hue and you can hear what sounds like a slight hissing when they are on, so I am motivated to replace the things.

Thanks,
Mike.

I would try to leave the fixtures, but take it guts out. Then install LED lights in them or just replace them completely.

Defender.com has more lighting options.
