Replacing bulbs with LED

[trooper1954]

Hi everyone,
I'm having some difficulty in finding out the exact specs for my anchor light bulb. I want to replace it with an LED equivalent, but I'm not sure what to replace it with, as there are no markings at all on the existing bulb.... I've attached photos of the existing bulb in the hope that someone will be able to tell me what LED bulb is its equivalent?
Thanks for any help.

194 is what you have, an incandescent.

Here is one substitute;

Be careful, nav lamps are required to be USCG approved and most LED’s are not. Chances are slim you’d get called on ‘em, but it’s possible.

The type of light is what they are talking about, how it is displayed. Whether incandescent or Led bulb makes no difference as long as it meets brilliance standard.

It only needs to meet a certain visibility distance at night.
USCG sat with me for 7 hours to do the test at night.
