There were 8 light fixtures that used the same bulb on Aquarius, and we wanted to change everything to 24V. Why throw out the Light Fixtures when they look good, just the LED bulb replacement could not be found. So, we changed out the sockets, and we put...
Early morning leaving Penang, Malaysia. It was a bit stressful as there's quite shallow waters and big chances of local fisherman setting up fishing nets. The chances even gets bigger as we have to give way to the big cruise ship and leave the channel.
