The previous two posts got me thinking, and somebody may have the solution.
Last year we replaced our Nav, Anchor and motoring lights with lovely bright/low wattage LEDs.
They are excellent but the only issue is that (I guess due to the very low wattage) the panel identifies them as faulty so the indicator lights flash constantly while they are in use.
Is there an adjustment that'll compensate? I notice that on the back of the indicator circuit board there are 3 'pots', I was wondering if they could have something to offer by way of altering the sensitivity? Or do I just accept it as it's not really a problem.
you could put about a 50ohm resistor across the fuse output. that would draw about 1/4 watt on top of the LED wattage and should solve the problem
forgot to add, its not really a problem safety wise. you can just ignore it. I had this a lot at work with mode transformers on dimming circuits. It only surfaced when the company wanted to lower the electricity bill and changed all the 40watt lamps to 20watt.
Ours is the same. We just ignore the flashing.

Could you tell me where the fuses are? I can't find them :o

Thanks Laysula, I think we will just do likewise and ignore it.
