Thanks, George. --Craig ----- Original Message ----- From: George Burmeyer To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Sent: Sunday, March 27, 2005 12:06 AM Subject: L.E.D. "Retrofit"
Craig, You can also get LED portable lights from Defender (page 321 of their new catalog or on line). They are made by Innovative Lighting. The catalog lists a krypton replacement bulb as well as an LED replacement which suggests to me that you might be able to retrofit a standard fixture w/ LEDs. BTW, the clamp mounts on these things are not the greatest quality and unless they are mounted on a nice square board (not a sloping fiberglass deck edge or steel rail), I wouldn't trust them to stay put for long.

The come on a C clamp mounting bracket, use 4 AA batteries, last up to 100 hours on a set of batteries, and cost $22 each. I found them in their catalog, but I'm sure they would be on the web site, too. www.cabelas.com Larry On Sat, 26 Mar 2005 18:17:22 -0500 "Craig F.

These AA-battery powered dinghy nav lights with mounting bracket options are good backups . . . But the standard bulbs go through batteries quickly. _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
