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

Exactly right Dennis.
And if motoring, burning three or four lamps is usually not a problem. Hence the desire to go LED for a masthead tri-light and the practicality of keeping lower lights as incandescent.
You might be astonished at the number of our American cousins who race around here at night burning every navigation lamp they can, masthead tri-colour, forward steaming, red, green and after steaming light. Very common on the overnight races. 

        Cheers, Russ

If you are motoring, you should not use the tricolor at the masthead. The steaming light must be above the red/green nav lights. Therefore you must use the deck or hull mounted nav lights when motoring.

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 at the mast head? Is this in addition to the 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 2d 21 led models too. They’re a bit much.. The 18 is googood 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 <http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I0BPZ1U?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I0BPZ1U?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
My original fixture’s lens s was all crazed and the housing was getting brittle…Â Now itÃ’s all l fresh and nnew. It’s well done too watertight ht 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$$. Sup. 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..Â
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
