An LED Light Replacement Especially for 24 Volt Systems
David out of the UK, aboard S/V 'Magwen', asked if we would make a replacement LED which would fit his 24 v saloon light fixtures like our Kalokalo. As we always enjoy a bit of a challenge, our Basaga is the end result.

	By using the same basic physical design of our Kalokalo, we were able to ensure the that you could replace a PAR 16 incandescent or halogen bulb without modification to the fixture.
Because the electronics (instead of a cheap and near useless resistor!) are mounted on the LED side, you still have the ability to flush mount our Basaga LED light in an engine room, as a stand alone LED light instead of just a replacement L.E.D. bulb. If you'd like to know more about just how fire-resistant our LED lights are, you can read and see more about this here).
	We believe that directly wiring a light into your system is a much better decision than using a base and socket, so we always provide our lights with fully tinned wire. If you would like to install your replacement LED light into a side mount halogen (G-4 type) socket, contact us and we will add the pins for you at no extra charge.
Although we never anticipated it, our lights work quite well as headlights for electric wheelchairs, in no small part because of their rugged design.

		Although the Basaga is electrically different from our 12 volt Kalokalo light, it can be used in the same common fixtures as our Kalokalo. This is an ordinary household fixture that I think we purchased for about US$10, and is really of no less quality than some of the so-called marine fixtures at 5x the price. I have this fixture mounted on the nav station so that I can either swing the light over the nav table for navigation (or working on a project) -OR- I can move it into the saloon for reading at night. Underway at night, we just leave the light on and press the bell of the fixture down to rest on the nav table. Enough light comes out of the old ventilation slits to act as a night light without disturbing the off watch. When the off-watch gets woken up (opinion is always prematurely!), instead of fumbling for a switch, just push the light up. The old watch then comes below decks, updates the chart and log, and finally gets a snooze.

For yet another mounting example, here is another Basaga mounted into a swiveling overhead lamp on a French cruising vessel.
