Default LED Replacements for Docking Lights?

Looking for LED lights to replace the original halogens in the docking lights in my Talari z240. Any products out there to easily replace them?

    There are a few of us who have converted to LED's. I've installed the Attwood LED docking lights on mine but i'm not sure if there is a direct replacement LED bulb for the original equipment lights. Perhaps someone else here knows.

    These days everything is LED convertible.
    There are a few options available for the replacements on your Barnegat docking lights.
    But most of the LED's that will actually work well are down to one or two.
    The H7604/H7614 is a PAR36 bulb. As long as you stick with that(PAR36-12V) you can do whatever.
    But , don't expect a sh-- load of light unless you go with the high dollar bulbs.
    And they will be a "flatter" shining , but brighter light.
    Another words.........don't expect a "KC Hightlighter" type of light from them.
    They won't "reach out and touch somebody" but they will work great to maybe.........20-30 ft.
    Don't get me wrong , they are great for the power consumption to output of light ratio.

    I paid $249 for mine about 4 yrs ago and with a bit of searching they can be found on sale for under $300 now. The attraction for me was that i didn't have docking lights to start with and didn't want to drill the large hole required for the standard ones. With these LED's it's just a small hole big enough to pass thru the wiring and that's it. And they have a nice downward spread of light for docking at night.

    These halogens I have really draw the battery down, even running. Should that be the case? Just trying to reduce the load, but not break the bank.

    Thanks for the responses!

    I bought and installed these bulbs in May. Very bright. Pretty easy to retrofit. Can’t speak for the cap/housing
