[Rhodes22-list] LED Lights (ART)

Joe,

Just be careful about hoisting the lantern above occuppied spaces.  Make 
sure that the lantern is secured well and the battery box has a screw or 
other safetry closure mechanism.  Even at anchor, passing boats and weather 
can generate waves that will rock the boat quite a bit.  You don't want 
several pounds of lantern or "D" cells cascading down on you from twenty 
feet up.  In addition to a line to hoist, use one or two lines to stabilize 
motion.  A plastic lantern flung against the mast could be easily cracked or 
damaged, releasing it's energy sources to the unsuspecting guests below.

Great idea! My mom, in her quest to please me, said that she already bought 
me an LED lantern for the boat. Is this what you're using? I figure one of 
these would also serve well hoisted into the rigging for an all around light 
at night. They are rated at 32 hours on full power with four D cells. No 
worry about draining the marine battery on overnights. Thanks.

Joe

Joe,

Look at P/N 36010 @ Home Depot. I have an identical #8 screw at strategic 
locations in the cabin and move two lights where they are needed. Bright 
enough, great longevity. Look under LED and you will find a full array of 
choices.
