Set off on a return trip from France last weekend and found that my steaming light wasn't working.
It was ok on the outbound leg. Checked power is ok at the mast base so I guess the bulb needs replacing. This appears to the only non-LED light on the boat. I wonder why? Can anyone tell me what bulb I am likely to need to save two trips up the mast?

Stuart - I had issues with mine where the fitting for the bulb inside the housing had somehow worn down, meaning that the terminals on the bulb/housing weren't touching properly. Bending the terminals on the housing fixed it for a short time but the problem kept recurring so I changed the housing (www.asap-supplies.com got the part to me in 24 hrs).
The bulb itself is a 10W bayonet. Regret no part number on it but its a 15mm socket and 67mm long. Like yours mine was the only non-LED onboard and I'm guessing that power-saving wasn't of concern with the engine running, hence the steaming light.... All the best! Iain |

Hello Stuart,
the original 12 V lamp is a BA15 D type ( BA15d IEC 7004-11 A or DIN 49720 ). It has 2 contacts at the bottom and two locking pins which are at DIFFERENT heights on the cylinder. I had to replace mine as well last year and found a drop-in LED replacement. Alternatively you can order a socket for a LED or Halogen lamp, No more trips up the mast for the next 24.000 hrs BR |

Folks,
15mm Diameter sounds right, so the BA 15 D replacement should fit. D stands for double contacts at the bottom, which Aquasignal , Hella and colleagues were using in the mast lights. S stands for single contact at the bottom, this was used in automotive brake lights or turning indicators. S also has the locking pins at the same distance from the bottom. Just ask your local yachtchandler, he should have the BA15 D bulbs in stock. Maybe he even has a LED replacement. Here is a link for a conventional replacement: Here is a link for the right LED replacement: note the different distances for the two locking pins, power is not supplied through the socket wall, but through the two contacts at the bottom.
