Title: Compass Lights
Post by: Frayed Knot on May 02, 2014, 10:52:16 AM

Have a Sestrel Compass and the lights are bad.  I know the part # for clear and red assembly (clear 6907 and red 6907/01), but I cannot find a place that sells them.  But what I really would like to have is red LED'S.  Does anyone know where I can find some led's?   Or where I can purchase the OEM lights.     I know that the wire on the right bulb is not in the center I just put in in the clip to show how it is wired in the visor...

I really like that you have DUAL bulbs (lamps) in that setup. That way if one fails offshore you can still see compass until you replace burned lamp.

If you're handy with a solder iron you can replace these yourself. Be sure to completely clean that brass lamp holder.

Now the really good news!

I have a pair of these lamps ANCOR # 382 Corrosion Resistant Mini Lamp!

Send me an address and I'll post them to you.

PS new studies show RED isn't necessary to protect Night Vision. Just DIM lighting is fine.
