We have 9 of the pricey and wonderful AlpineGlow light fixtures (came with the boat). These lights are dual function, white and red. The white light is a low-power fluorescent tube, then and now. They used to make the red side out of a flourescent tube covered with red varnish; nowadays they build them with red LEDs. The red varnish was flaking off all of ours, so I went ahead and replaced the red tubes with red LEDs. It was a bit of a wiring job, but made easy by the straigtforward conversion kit that AlpineGlow offers (for $15 each). The new red LED uses so little power, it barely registers on the voltmeter (about a tenth of an amp; compare that to a standard 12V incandescent bulb which is roughly two amps). When we turn on all the red lights, our cabin looks like the battle room of a submarine.
Additionally, three of the ballasts were bad, so I replaced those as well.
