Ich habe die Laterne LED montiert, aber noch nicht benutzt.

The color is fine, there is no falsification in the red / green area. The brightness is excellent. A minimal change in the angle is only detectable under laboratory conditions. Bothers any deputy officials who are bored. The current is 190 mA. Spraying with colorless paint is recommended to prevent electrolysis due to moisture. For salt mist use probably less suitable in the present protection, depending on the lantern construction. Inland without restriction. For the steamer light no problem is seen. But it is pretty bright then.

No glass bulb
LED bulbs contain a lot of electronics for internal current regulation and the individual LEDs are soldered onto a circuit board. As long as a glass bulb, a casting compound or at least a thick layer of paint protects these areas, no condensation or even salt mist can lead to corrosion. However, many ship lamps are anything but waterproof. Despite the expected long lifespan, premature failure is unfortunately to be expected and therefore not full marks. I have installed the bulbs and am happy about the reduced power consumption. I am curious to see how long they will last.

This type of LED bulbs are very expensive, but I think only is a middle quality for this price. I'm sure the electrical working power consumption is much lower than a traditional bulb (about 110) this is good! I will see the life times and how is work later.

Lights up ... Replacement delivery because 1 of 3 was defective.

Okay but modification was required
It gives a very good light but the socket in my aqua signal lights had to have the edges filed of as there is soldering knobs on the bulb which makes it difficult to insert it into the socket.

soldering points on the base
The solder points on the base are too thick and therefore do not fit completely into the holder. Filed them up a bit.

toy or quality product
The Mega LED 60 should replace the standard bulb for energy saving. Even during insertion, I kept the parts of the LED in my fingers with minimal effort. It broke during installation. In comparison with a second LED 60 and the original bulb was also clear why. The accuracy of fit is not given by large solder joints on the LED socket. So either refrain from LED replacement, or with caution sand the solder joints sth. Since the fit accuracy is not given, should be improved here in the context of quality control.

The weld points at the base are too thick and had to be adjusted to fit the bulb into the base.

The light intensity is comparable to a 25W / 24V light bulb. However, the light bulb has a brighter effect (like a focal point) due to the filament and the diffuser of the navigation light. With the LED, the light intensity is evenly distributed over the entire height.

Unfortunately very short lifespan
I installed the LEDs in my navigation lights, and they didn't last more than four weeks. The small amount of salt water quickly destroyed them, so I'm back to using regular bulbs. However, this is already the third product that hasn't worked.

Distance of the pins located on the bottom of the led are not exactly the same as the original bulbs. I order three Mega Led 60 to replace the bulbs of the Aqua Signal 41 series.
The leds dont fit in the socket. I tried several times and five leds bars have fallen apart.
The quality seems very poor.

Unreasonably high price
If you want to convert your existing position lights to LED, as I did years ago, the problem is that even in the yacht and boat dealerships, only lamps are offered with the information that they are not yet internationally approved or the specification Missing via BSH approval. The BAY 15 D base corresponds to the base for vehicle brake lights. And that's exactly what I've had in my position lights for several years. The local water police are aware of this and tolerate it. You can find offers elsewhere on the Internet at unit prices starting at around € 3

mediocre quality
- processed relatively easily - no protection against moisture - quite expensive for this quality - produces noise in the radio - no homogeneous light light color and brightness are OK

I installed this light insert in the anchor light. Both AIS and VHF are significantly disrupted. Signals that would otherwise be received without problems are not received when the light is switched on.

Mega LED defective
I wanted to replace the bulbs in the position lights with the Mega LED. Unfortunately, the fit of the base is not optimal. The LED lamps are very difficult to insert into the socket. In addition, 6 individual LEDs were defective on 3 of 4 LED bulbs. I didn't try the fourth, but sent all 4 back.

better quality expected
The bulbs work and also consume significantly less power than conventional bulbs. Unfortunately, the LM are not waterproof and also very unstable. Reliable operation is not guaranteed.

Poor quality
I tried to install both in the mast top and in the rear light and it did not fit well!....I have been obliged to force it into place and it broke!!!
I bought one other led lamp, with glass protection, to the mast top, in one local store!....
I managed, after re-soldering the attachment and remove some of the contacts height, and with the help of one needle nose plier (!), to install it on the boat stern light....

Even SVB is a realist Hardly any buyer has the parts already in operation at this time and can actually make a rating. MMF Chill
