[Rhodes22-list] LED Navigation Lights available from Ancor

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Bill,

This is the spec info I got from Ancor on one of their new festoon units - #529205 replaces 522122:

60 mA vs. 830 mA
48 cp   vs. 6cp

How about those apples?

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.
