Title: Electrickery
Post by: Sootydog on October 19 2023, 12:11
Here's one to ponder as the nights get longer.
I decided to replace the cabin lights to leds and started to replace them one by one.
No matter which light i change, when i switch it on to test it, the low water warning (forward tank) goes off.
Not a huge issue, but I could do without the flashing red light in the evenings.
What's going on?

Sounds like electromagnetic interference caused by cheap poorly built led bulbs. Each led (their power driver) is a radio emitter + causes also conductive disturbances, causing interference in some sensitive circuits.

First try - some other brand led emitters, preferably reliable brand & CE-marking included. (Not the ChinaExport stamp you get on AliExpress and like :))
