AC and DC engine room lights?

[sdowney717]

Am curious if anyone has converted the entire boat to 120/230VAC instead of 12/24VDC lighting fixtures. Domestic LED bulbs are available anywhere in the world but DC bulbs/fixtures are tougher to replace, plus our inverters are rather reliable these days.

I have wanted to do that. And you can get cheap dimmable LED bulbs to work with easily obtainable parts and fixtures anywhere.

My existing overhead lights, there might be enough room to use an AC 120v LED corn cob bulb with a double bayonet base, B15D. They would also be dimmable. And put out more light than the 12vdc bulbs. The AC power can also be GFCI protected, so no shock hazard.
