[Rhodes22-list] LED Lights

[Bill Effros]

It seems to me we should all be switching over to LED lights if we are 
out at night.  This is the one place I have consistently had problems 
with boats, generally having nothing to do with either the wiring or the 
fixtures.  Generally my problems have been broken filaments which work 
fine when the light is in my hand, but only intermittently when out of 
reach or when I don't have a replacement bulb.  You only see the problem 
when you actually need the light.

LEDs, it would seem, solve this problem.  They should last for the life 
of the boat, and are worth the extra cost, to me.

Here's a site for them:

These things probably cost more than our boats.

Anyone else know of navigational LEDs?  How about replacement LED bulbs 
in standard fixtures?  Probably less reliable.
