Hey ya Bella, Try Stecktronics.com Good friend of mine, Reynold Steckly, own the company and stands behind everything there. He's a specialist in LEDs and made for me a steamer/deck combo in LEDs. It's awesome! I asked him about it and he said he hadn't thought of it and went to work on it right away. He made it so fast I couldn't believe it. It's wonderful! Good for me!! I also have an LED anchor light at the top of the mast. It does look exactly like a star... but his new ones I just saw on another boat and they are so much brighter and omit a very white light (LEDs can be bluish sometimes) that you can't mistake for a star. It's so white and the glow it casts simply makes it much more effective.
I think they run around $200 but don't quote me on that, I've had mine a while now. Could be more or less? He does Tri-lights, whatever ya want. Anyway, tell Reynold you're a friend of mine and I guarantee ya he'll beat any price anywhere. Hugs, Charmaine Aboard s/v September Sea "Life's a Gift...

I was interested in who had leds on top of the mast.. (will that definition work for the majority) and if you did what brand, how bright and what did it cost.. (not a major factor, but was curious) OGM seems to be the consensus it works great, low draw and can be see the requisite 2 miles cost is not a factor I don't have to change it out now.. but if I come across a deal I will go for it.. thanks so much.. I already have aquired my steaming light replacement.. its a light and a deck light combo from waste marine with a gift card, on sale and a rebate.. http://www.westmarine com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/producte/10001/-1/10001/12589/377%20710%201604/ /Exterior%20/Primary%20Search/mode%20matchallpartial/10/0?N=377%20710%201604& e=0&Ntt=Exterior%20&Ntx=mode%20matchallpartial&page=CategoryDisplayLevel1&isL okenURL=true&storeNum=5002&subdeptNum=9&classNum=236 I will use the old steaming light cover for the stern light and thus keeping the original flavor of the boat.. The deck lights on the spreaders were orginally tractor lights..that came from the factory.. I will probably replace them at a later date with leds maybe.. we shall see.. its not a huge priority at the moment. I, in truth, don't have to replace the anchor light as it works fine..but it is an incadescent bulb and eventually I want to go as low draw lights as possible. Interior lights are my first priority in that line. thanks again... back to being bored.. 'b.
