I have a 2000 298 Vista and I want to replace a halogen pin light bulb in the cabin (similar to the picture below) but I don't know how many watts to get (the wattage wasn't on the bulb I took out). Does anyone know if it is 20, 50 or 100 watts? Thanks.

Are there any markings on the housing? We've got some under-cabinet lights in our kitchen that use those, and they're 20's. I can't imagine they'd use a higher (hotter!) one in a boat interior. |

10W if I remember correct. My local Lowes had the bulb. |

Thanks for the replies. I will keep the wattage low. |

What advantage is LED in the cabin? Thanks. |

But, in the cabin you might have a harder time finding just the right fixtures to 1) look the way you want them to and 2) provide the color temperature you want in an interior space. |

I didn't know that and my halogen cabin lights do draw down the battery pretty quick. I did notice the LED threads when searching for halogen lights but basically blew them off since they were for colored lights. I will have to revist those threads again to see where to get them. Thanks. |

LEDs are nice but I always find the white bulbs are never truely white. They always have a blue tint to them. I know a true white bulb exists because my mercedes has them. It's just always hard to find them in aftermarket. Superbright Leds . Com has a great assortment for a great price. |
