[Rhodes22-list] LED Navigation Lights available from Ancor

[Bill Effros]

Art,

I've been replacing conventional bulbs with LEDs.  The LEDs are never as 
bright as the bulbs they replace, but they do use far less electricity, 
and shouldn't suffer filament problems.  They're expensive, and I'm not 
sure they really pay, but I like them anyhow.

I haven't been using them in navigational situations, although a dimmer 
LED that works is probably a lot safer than a bright incandescent that 
never works when you need it.

In the case of West they can be obtained through 800# special order only, but are available.  The specs look impressive, especially for those who don't really want to climb or step/unstep the mast.  I have not tried them, but expect to as soon as practical.
