Never used the new boat. But already searching to save energy to help the fridge and pilot.
The main cabin has 9 lights incorporated to the ceiling. That is 9 lights coming on at the flick of the switch. The front cabin has 6 and so one ...reading lights and all. Using the internet brings many suppliers. Its an easy task to find replacement bulbs at very various prices for apparently the same product. The question that I cant find is what replaces what as far as luminescense. Some stores have douzens of lights that are mounted and that we can test. We can also take ours and try them to compare. Funny thing the Led lights dont seem to glare very far, where the hallogen does. Has anyone done the exersize to replace with a good result at end. The 470 2010 has Kando lite 30 degre 12 volt 10 watt capsules the reading lights are 12 volts 20 .

Its a boat discussion to me and it sets out how often I have to re charge the batteries when at anchor or on a mooring.
On our 430 we have changed 1/2 the lights to Led's and left the rest as halogen this allows us to only use a lower discharge of the batteries when not on the mains electric yet we can get lit up like a Christmas tree when on the mains. If you change to Led's you have to expect reduced light output until technology improves. Ken |

That seems to be a good solution. Which lights did you replace and what did you replace them with?

I don't know the make but I still have the packaging on the boat so I can let you know next week. We changed 1 reading lamp in each cabin, 1 reading lamp in the salon, 1 over the Galley and 2 ceiling lights in the saloon. They are replacement lamps that just plug in in place of the halogen bulbs we did this in February 2010 and they cost £16 each from the local chandlers I have noted that they are now around £18 each but I am sure that you can get them cheaper on line.

Hi!
I got short time ago quite tired of LED prices here in Stockholm and started to import them by myself with my friend Henrik84 who is also a member on this forum. He can offer Hanse members prices on LED that you cant get in any store. I would suggest that you check with him as he is running the LED business now.
We are quite many 370 owners that has so far changed all halogens to 9SMD LED and so far happy with the result. The color of the light is quite close to the halogens but little mote whiter.
As it comes to saving electricity the LEDs use approx only 10% of what the halogen does so this summer Im not going to worry about how many lamps are lit in the boat
 jeancharleb, have you checked if you have ASU installed in your fridge if its a Isotherm fridge. That would save you a lot of batteries in the long run. ------------- "Älva" Hanse 370#671 Stockholm, Sweden http://www.wesailhanse.se" rel="nofollow - www.wesailhanse.se big wheel, deep draught iron keel, 3 cabins,Yanmar 3JH4E, Sparcraft rig. |

Indeed, now the LED are less expensive if u take it from outside, not shops from your country, uses little energy and it has a great light...
The most cheaper way to get your hands on some LED''s are those thate are made in China!!! |

Thanks for all the info. I have just replaced my Halogens with LEDs purchased from Searolf in UK about £9.50 each including next day delivery (www.searolf.com)
I bought 9SMD side pin for ceiling fittings- some red, some warm white and one white for Galley. For reading lamps I bought 18SMD warm white. Very pleased with result. Charles ------------- 'MERIDIAN LADY' 320 Nr 536 2010 Medway |

Good job, now you dont have to bother with some one forgetting there light.
You could even install some in youre stairs that are lit allmost all the time. They are violet and take 10 times less then the ones you have installed. Considering the price should Hanse install them in factory. Jeancharleb ------------- Jean Charlebois |

I love that suggestion of violet lights for the stairs. Do you have a web/reference number I can look up.
I bought some cheap battery operated Led lights for the table at a post Christms sale. They change colours, giving a candle like luminance. So with violet lights as well, my boat suppers will be enhanced. Charles ------------- 'MERIDIAN LADY' 320 Nr 536 2010 Medway |

Yesterday I changed the bulb in my anchor light to LED(from www.awn.de).
The problem was that I had forgotten to put the bulb in when I prepared the mast after winter storage. So I was hoisted up the mast.....

MarcoC/Henrik84
Is your company ( selling LED's) still in existence & if so do you have a website?
Do you supply to the UK?
I do not recall you having promoted yourselves anywhere other than this entry on the forum
One assumes you know the correct bulbs for a hanse 311 so presumably one would avoid problems with size, illumination etc if one purchased from you. ------------- Daydream Believer- Hanse 311- No GBR9917T- Bradwell Essex |

Hi Samuel!
I'll forward your message to Henrik and ask him to reply. I'm not involved so much in boat lamps anymore my self. I have concentrated more on various LED lists that can be fitted on booms etc. ------------- "Älva" Hanse 370#671 Stockholm, Sweden http://www.wesailhanse.se" rel="nofollow - www.wesailhanse.se big wheel, deep draught iron keel, 3 cabins,Yanmar 3JH4E, Sparcraft rig. |

LED lights mostly used for decorations. and LED will not give you that much of lights. Hallogen would be the good option if you are looking for lights on your boat.

I really have to disagree with you on this point. LEDs today gives you almost the same light as halogen. You cant change 1 to 1 and get same light but if you look at how many W:s each lamp consume you can litt several lamps before you reach same W: as one halogen. Go then and fit some white LED strips and you will have more light than ever. I use strips and other LEDsto light up my house and have more light that I need. So, no, LED is not only for decoration. ------------- "Älva" Hanse 370#671 Stockholm, Sweden http://www.wesailhanse.se" rel="nofollow - www.wesailhanse.se big wheel, deep draught iron keel, 3 cabins,Yanmar 3JH4E, Sparcraft rig. |

I don't think "Stevenjobs" owns a Hanse. I think he only wants to plant a link to his website. His opinion on LEDs is only a way to fool us to believe that he is taking part in the discussion. He did not fool me so I have reported the post. If I am wrong I am sure "Stevenjobs" will react swiftly and tell us about his Hanse.

If you return to my posting you will have the answers. Ceiling warm white 140 lumens does the job perfectly unless you want to have the feeling you are in a shopping center with neons. For reading cool white 160 lumens and that is plentyfull evn in the bath rooms you can use cool white and madam will be greatfull for decorating her beautyfull face. More? They cost nothing I got all these for 5$ US......  ------------- Jean Charlebois |

i changed all lights in my 470 for led, saved on energy, but lost on coziness, so in my 630 i have not changed, i run the generator instead. Awful sound but nice light. I guess, so far you can´t have it all. If anyone want to prove me wrong, enlight me.
