I agree with the running lights and I still have my halogen deck light.<BR><BR>s/v Wing N' Prayer #456 MKI<BR>Fleet 2 Long Beach<BR><BR>--- On <B>Tue, 6/23/09, Gene Foraker <I><gforaker@gmail.com></I></B> wrote:<BR>

<DIV class=plainMail>I think someone else mentioned it, but it makes absolutely no sense to <BR>try to replace current deck or steaming lights with LED. These lights <BR>are either on for only a short time or on with the engine. The deck <BR>light also needs to be brighter than most LED clusters. There is no <BR>real savings of battery amps like there is with anchor or interior <BR>lights. The refrigerator is still the biggest use of battery power <BR>followed by stereo or TV. I don't really use that much power with <BR>interior lights. It doesn't get fully dark until almost 10:00 this <BR>time of year and we mainly use the florescent interior lights.<BR><BR>Gene<BR><BR>Mark Bierei wrote:<BR>> Phil, REgarding your orgininal post on LED Replacements; I saw that <BR>> Laura provided a Google search and that may do the trick.

luck with www.Mastlight.com <<A href="http://www.mastlight.com/" target=_blank>http://www.Mastlight.com</A>>, <BR>> The owner is a former sailer and his website is a great resource and <BR>> tutorial for finding the right replacement bulbs. He has all the <BR>> festoon lights for the steaming light and running lights as well as <BR>> the halogen replacments. I have all LEDs on the boat, even the old <BR>> reading lights below and my energy consumption is greatly reduced. If <BR>> you get confused, just call him - I think his name is Nigel and he is <BR>> a regular at the big boat shoes as well as in Latitudes and <BR>> Attitudes. His all around anchor lights are $25.00 - nearly half of <BR>> what you see at West Marine. Another surce for auto bulbs ( the 1157s <BR>> etc) is www.superbrightled.com . I puchased the rading light <BR>> relacement bulbs for my interior (original
fixtures) from thm at less <BR>> than $10.00 per light.<BR>> <BR>> Another good find for others out there, is the LED dome lights from <BR>> Catalina Direct, they have 7 white and 5 red LEDS and make good <BR>> replacments for thinlight flor. under the galley and in the head. The <BR>> light is not super bright but works great in those locations. I will <BR>> also be installing one over the aft hanging locker for added light in <BR>> the aft cabin. At $24.95 you cannot beat the price. <BR>> www.catalinadirect.com <<A href="http://www.catalinadirect.com/" target=_blank>http://www.catalinadirect.com</A>>.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Hope this helps, Regards, Mark<BR>><BR>> s/v Wing N' Prayer #456 MKI<BR>> Fleet 2 Long Beach<BR>><BR>> --- On *Thu, 6/18/09, Phil Lindholm /<<A href="http://us.mc834.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=pclindholm@hotmail.com"
