Abstract
A beacon light member including a housing configured to be attached to a base member of a beacon light, the base member of the beacon light configured to utilize an incandescent light source. A power supply contained in the housing is configured to electrically connect to a power point in the base member. At least one light emitting diode (LED) light source is contained in the housing. A beacon light including a first base member, a second member, and at least one incandescent light source can also be retrofit. Under the retrofitting method, the at least one incandescent light source is removed, the second member is removed, and the second member is replaced with a beacon light module including at least one light emitting diode (LED) light source.
