This hunt has been more complicated than I would have expected. I’ve also gotten frustrated with the goose chase online looking through all the options and typically even with specific typed criteria such as DC 12 volt and length, websites tend to expose me to options not sorted by the criteria. I have to get this done since we hope to begin our cruise in two weeks.
Here’s my situation. GB 42 Classic. We have 6 ceiling fixture’s (see pictures) only one of which has double ballasts, making it twice as wide as the others. All are the same frame length (14 inch opening with cover off as shown), and the ballasts are 9 inches as the exist, but can be replaced by longer if needed since there is space (2nd pic shows a ballast hanging down.) Both pics 1 & 2 should be rotated to right for proper orientation.
I just need replacement bulbs and a few spares in LED, Except for two replacement ballasts. I’ve been able to find the replacement bulbs if I wanted to stay with traditional lighting which I would prefer to not do. LED replacements should be configured like the one shown in the last pic below in order to fit in existing ballast in all places but the “Double Light” which needs ballasts. The 3rd pic is of an existing bulb that I’m looking for an LED replacement for, and the last pic shows the plug in side.
I suspect these are common and probably go beyond just the GB Brand. I’m hopeful someone here wii respond with “ I recently did mine and found what I needed at (fill in the blank) .com. ‘
