Boat Forum / Cruising / February 2005changing bulb in Aqua-Fit tricolor
I have a couple of questions about changing the bulb in an Aqua-Fit series 40 tricolor/anchor light. First of all, how do you get to the bulbs to remove them? There's a metal plate on the top. removing it doesn't seem to do anything. The top is as firmly attached without it as it is with it. There's an "on-off" ring around the bottom but that appears to be for the "quicfit" attachment. I'm very impressed with how well the light is made, but there must be a way (other than a hammer) to get at the bulbs. The second question is are LED replacements available for the 10W bulbs these use? (Assuming I can get the old bulbs out of course.) Thanks Cindy  SignatureThe email address above is a spam trap.

Hi Cindy, Here's a link to a spec sheet on the series 40: http://www.aquasignal.de/pdf/lob2004/S018_019.pdf The second page shows the light disassembled, maybe this will help.

These were both really helpful! Thanks guys, we got it open (without breaking anything). Cindy SignatureThe email address above is a spam trap. Don't expect a response.

You can remove the entire assembly, or just part of it, by twisting the light on its mount. Careful though, since I know from experience that these lights don't bounce well. SignatureGood luck and good sailing. s/v Kerry Deare of Barnegat http://kerrydeare.home.comcast.net/ |
