Re: Stus-List Was Wire Gauge, now Where can I get LED?

Hi Kurt,
Not everyone is using a tri-colour at the masthead but it is practical in that, when sailing, there is nothing to obscure the lower lights and one lamp can draw a lot less power than three or four lamps. 

Note, if you are motoring then you still need the forward steaming light, etc.

Rule 25 (around page 80) if you're interested.

Is there a reason every one is using tri colors

regular side lights and stern light

Hello Alex,


I am replacing the cabin lights with this one 
from Marinebeam: 
<http://store.marinebeam.com/bayonet-ba15s-15-led-bayonet-mini-tower/>http://store.marinebeam.com/bayonet-ba15s-15-led-bayonet-mini-tower/ 
It’s just bright enough.  I tried the 18 and 
21 led models too.  They’re a bit much.. The 
18 is good as a reading light, the 21 is the 
master blaster at the chart table.



My sternlight burned-out about a month ago.   I 
did not bother looking for a replacement bulb at Marinebeam..



I bought this for 16 bucks instead

My original fixture’s lens was all crazed and 
the housing was getting brittle…  Now it’s all 
fresh and nnew.  It’s well done too watertight 
with O-rings and extremely bright as it is a 12 led array.


For the tricolor I splurged a little..

It’s a bit pricey but it’s the cat’s 
a$$.  Super bright, high quality machined metal 
housing, no interference with the VHF, automatic 
anchor light, and a killer white light 
illuminating the Windex.  You get what you pay for I guess..



I also have a remote control battery powered LED 
bar light for the engine compartment.  It's 
about 20 bucks at Walmart. It's a peel and stick 
installation and the light switch is also peel 
and stick.  No wiring. Simple and perfect for 
the engine compartment, the remote switch is 
nice.  I am planning on buying more of those

So,




I recently installed a PERKO masthead tri-light 
and want to know if one can insert a replacement 
LED trilight.  I understand that with the narrow 
spectrum range of some LED?s, I might not be 
able to insert a replacement white light LED but 
would need some kind of tri-light bulb.




What have others done for their masthead tri-lights?



Thanks,




Alex Giannelia
