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

Yup, I have seen all color combination to and for Bermuda as well...

Anchor lights with Tricolor...
Tricolor with deck level nav lights...
Steaming light with tri-color...
Nav lights with no steaming light (when under power)

Wrong. wrong Wrong.  

Very confusing when two fleets encounter each another at 2:00am (which happens 
surprisingly often).

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.

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/
 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

My original fixture̢۪s
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..  



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
