32v Navigation lights

[ageless]

My forum search resulted in very few threads so I thought I’d ask. Has anyone found a 32v 2nm LED sidelight (other than Hella) to replace the OE Perko? My housings have finally succumb to vibration, UV etc. I assume if I decide to just do LED bulbs I can buy any incandescent housing and install 32v festoon bulbs? I’m not opposed to the Hella’s, they have a smaller footprint than the Perko and would require a little painting if I choose them.

Just bought some new lenses for Aslan's Perko side lights from Sams that really improved a tired look. Still using the incandescent bulbs.

I changed both lights completely but could not find the bulbs you seek. I hope someone on this site has. I’d do it in a minute to brighten it up.

Call Norman Lamps in Oklahoma, their staff are very helpful and they carry lots of 32v compatible LEDs as well as a full selection of 32v incandescent lamps. I have been using their 32v LED anchor lamp all winter with no failure yet. I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve forgotten to turn off the anchor light and it’s run for days......

If you do call and purchase them post the numbers you ordered. I’ll follow in your footsteps. Good luck.

I put a 32V to 12V step down convertor inside the breaker panel on the feed from the nav light breaker. I easily found 12V LED bulbs to replace the 32 volt incadescent bulbs. The convertor was less than $20. I do recommend keeping a spare though. Had it fail. Was replaced under warranty but cut a trip short. Now I have a spare so I can have nav lights if something happens.

Yes, I would be interested in finding out what they have too. I can't find any 32V bulbs on their website.

No luck on a festoon 32v bulb yet

Do you need 32v festoon bulbs? How many? I know I have a bag of them, just can’t recall how many. But I can know in a couple of days if it would help you.

I think they are needing 32V LED festoons which I never found. I put the buck convertor in and used 12V festoon LED

Buck converter is the ticket. I have plenty of incandescent nav lights for now. I have LED pretty much everything else, but if I was going to do the nav lights, I would use a buck converter in order to have access to more options.

I've been searching for LED festoon's, sorry I should have clarified
