I've heard there is a red-white-blue bulb that is switchable and will fit in my arch.

Does anyone have these? Where'd you buy them and how do you like them?

Those would likely be the Apeiron lights made by i2 Systems. Either part # A3120 or A1120.

They are not bulbs, but the complete fixture is what you will need to replace. They are about $90 to $120 each at
28 different stores. Including Defender.

We have 2-color Blue/White courtesy lights that came with our Monterey.

Thanks. I've got blue led's lighting the cockpit floor from the factory, and two bright white lights mounted in the arch.

I have seen the tri-color arch lights on a couple of boats, and liked everything about them except for the red. It just did not look right to me with the entire cockpit lit up in red. aka. floating Whore House comes to mind..... .

I installed i2system tri-lites on my v268 arch (surface mount) a few years ago. They toggle between white red and blue using an accessory switch on the dash. They work great at night underway and offer nice light output when used on the hook with the canopy up.

Am I understanding this correctly....each time you cycle the power, they automatically switch colors?

Thats correct. Had some time to do some research this evening, and the entire housing needs replaced, not just the bulb like I thought. Might make a good mod for me this winter.

My arch has the standard Perko units in it....I need to do a little research and see if they are a drop in replacement.

The prior owner of my 320 put a blue led in the arch light over the captains seat, but the port side arch light is till the regular bulb.....

I think they are, I did some digging on the Sea Ray site earlier. Not sure about on my 318 though.

That sounds somewhat familiar.......
