    Aqua Signal Series 41, 32V Users
    Aqua Signal has discontinued their Series 41 support. So if your red & green lenses are eaten up from the sun and you’re a 32Vdc boat, your screwed.

    Sadly, the new lights are mostly LEDs. Not good for the >12M, <20M boats running 32Vdc systems.

    However, I have found some 4” Hella incandescent lights are still available.

    I ordered red, green and mast head in black plastic. White is available also. The seller combined the shipping on all. Just came in today, Wonderful packing and verified the same 32Vdc lamps do fit.

    There are other e-bay sellers, This one had the best prices and really made me a deal.

    Read the details well when selecting your light.

    Less than 12M lights from this mfg uses the Festoon lamps.
    They are available also.

    The new LED lights say good to 32Vdc. That is the max voltage.
    32V systems nominally run to 38Vdc and that is when the new LED lamps turn them selves off.
    Again, read the fine details.

    When these new lenses get sun burnt, as my 15+ year old Series 41s, I'll tap the lights to a 24Vdc supply. For now, I still have boxes of 32V lamps to use up first.
