Finally - a good 32v DC LED light solution

[billwilletts]

First of all there are numerous buck converters out there to take 32v to 24 or 12v if you want to go that route. I have both on mine - one converting 32 to 24v for my ACR Searchlight and a few others taking stuff down to 12v.

If you have overhead lights like mine through I was looking for a solution that did not require converters plus I wanted to take up the sale real estate for aesthetic purposes and this does both.

This starts with removing the old light and the socket assembly. No need to remove the mounting box - just leave it there. You need these Juno square LED lights and some starboard. That is it. Remove the AC to DC converter from the Juno light. The panel is a 40VDC panel and produces 60 watts which is plenty bright. If it is too bright don't worry - these are dimmable. Here are the photos of what i did below. It would only let me do 3 photos so see the next thread below

I like it! Down here in Mexico there are alot of cheap option for similar fixtures however most wont work on 32v.

Yep. I did found the same solution a couple of years ago for my aft deck overheads, but didn't think of the starboard add-on. That will solve my flimsy fixture problem - thanks.
