The bulb must beCG approved for the exact fixture. My local chandlery stopped selling led mastheads for that reason.

The 1142s referenced in my link fit some masthead running lights. If you use a white light in the red-green-white part of the unit you **have to** use WARM WHITE. Cool white will NOT produce red and green through the lenses, which were designed for a light with a color temperature around 2500-3500K. Cool white LEDs are 5000-600K. For the anchor light it does not matter. *Joe Della Barba* Coquina *From:* CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com<cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com>] *On Behalf Of *Fred Hazzard *Sent:* Tuesday, April 23, 2013 7:04 PM *To:* cnc-list@cnc-list.com *Subject:* Re: Stus-List Strip LEDs Cabin Lighting Speaking of LED’s I want to replace my mast head tri light and my anchor light with LED’s.

Remember that they're probably rated anywhere from six to ten watts, which is a bunch for LEDs. Without the heat management, they'd smoke in just a few hours.

When you run LED's directly off of a 12 volt system, they don't give off much heat. _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
