Hey, thanks much for all the help recently. I want to replace the
bare-bulb
interior bulkhead lights on my 25' sailboat. So I took one off today and
looked in it and it said it was rated for up to 220 volts. Does this mean
I
can go out and buy cheap Target fixtures and install 12v bulbs in 'em and
they'll work? West Marine's fixtures cost about about 5 times more than
they're worth it seems to me. Thanks again!



As I read your post, you are saying that the existing FIXTURES are
rated for 220 volts. This does not necessarily mean that the wiring
leading to that fixture is rated for 220 volts.
