    I have a 2007 Hampton Yacht (new to me). Some of the interior 24 V lighting is off/on switches but some is push button and has a tiny flashing green light above the push button. I have had times where the light is flashing red, and sometimes when it is constant green. The lighting was made by a Chinese company called Power First that is of course no longer supporting this product. I am trying to find out what these different signals lights mean and why the lights don't work. My house bank is fully charged and I'm connected to shore power. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have witnessed similar issues where the xenon lamps were replaced with LEDs.
    Not enough load on the lamps to load the power supply correctly.
    The easy fix then was to install one xenon lamp back into the light string.

    Next issue, if the strings were replaced with LEDs and your system was dimmable, Most early LEDs are not dimmable.
    Even then, a special dimmable power supply may be required.

    It has been a few years but these kids help us a lot back then.
