I wanted to save a few bucks on a work light.  One seller on feeBay said the GE H7614 halogen is the replacement for the work light. It is a 12V 50W flood lamp.  I asked if it's the same as the one from Honda because I'm not sure of the volts and amperage of the lighting coil on the HS928. 

Anyone know the details of the replacement lamp?  Maybe open the work light and check the numbers on the back of the light?  Harbor Frieght has a rubber work light that is only 35 watts but is about $16 compared to Honda price of about $70.  I'd have to make a bracket but that should be easy.  I don't know the wattage or voltage of the lighting coil.  I read it could be as low as 18 watts and is 12V.A.C. not 12V.D.C. and 50watts.

Peterson Manufacturing sells the LED model 907 for the same applications they sell the halogen 507, so I doubt they expect any difficulty in the exchange, nor should I.   Both are identical weatherproof rubber housings and the sealed beam units fit in precisely the same way.  The only additional modification I intend to add to this is a simple on-off toggle switch, a sealed unit, and a silicone weatherproof 'boot' that screws onto the switch.  After all the connections are complete I will seal them against moisture with a small amount of 'Plasti-Dip' which should keep all moisture out of the wiring pretty permenantly.  Should work out great.

Please post some pics of this setup once you have it all finished. I'm sure a lot of us would like to see it. I'd also be interested in how it handles under the cold it will get on a snowblower over a period of time.
