Default Cabin LED's

I would like to replace my cabin ceiling lights with LED's, does anyone have a suggestion as to size, brand source etc. I don't think I need some of the high price ones just a decent replacement.
Thanks

What boat do you have, year & model?
I have a 2400SCR 1995 and just replaced the bulbs with LEDS.
Worked out just fine.

I find the LEDs labeled "Daylight" to be too bright for my liking.

I think the most important thing to start out with is what (not necessarily brand) is installed there now.

Surface mount, or flush mount?

If Surface mount, what is the diameter of the light fixture now? (The new one will more than likely need to be equal or larger in size.

If flush mount, what is the size of the rough cutout?

Now narrow down your search for whatever meets this criteria with the warmness/coolness desired along with features.
