Has anyone noticed LED's on late model Regals failing (e.g. getting very dim or dying completely)? I have a recent 36 XO and over the course of the last year 3 of the cabin strip lights and the starboard green LED have lost almost all of their brightness. They still technically "turn on" but are basically useless for illumination purposes.

Connection to those led light strips probably corroded especially if on salt water. What is a recent 36 Xo?

It's a 2022 that's been in the water since April. It is in salt water but I think it's more the quality of the LED's themselves. I've noticed this sometimes even with LED landscape lights. I'll let everyone know what the dealer finds out.

Pop one out and check your voltage if you can get to the pins or exposed wire behind it. Anything over 12volts and it means they used a cheap / recalled LED that is dying.
It's pretty common in cheap LEDs that they'll lose their brightness after a few hundred hours of use.
Considering the age of the boat I don't think it could be anything else unless you're having house battery issues elsewhere.
