Hi Rodd,

Pete Dubler of SCADtech is involved with that – I was hoping to use his lights but they weren't available before I left.  I can offer this, though.  If you have a standard anchor light fitting, Dr. LED has a bulb for it – that's what I used and they seem to work just fine in the fitting you have (especially if it's Aqua Signal).

It's visible for the required three miles for a vessel our size.

I still hope Pete gets his new lights out because I want to replace my spreader lights with LEDs and his promise to be quite reasonable and bright.

Bob

SCADtech was working on a set of LED nav lights, but they never came to market (yet).

Was there someone in our group who is involved with a company that is making LED nav lights?  I am planning on a new anchor light and I think I remember reading that one of our members makes them???
 
Thanks!

I’ll be retrofiting to LED within the next year or so. Masthead, anchor, and some interior lamps plus possibly the spreader lights. I’m budgeting about $500.

Rich,

If you have the Aqua Signal 41s – the size required for our boats, Dr. LED has the lights for them – remember the LED color has to match the lens – you can't put a white LED in a multicolored lens, it will only show through the white part.  Dr. LED has the three color bulbs for the typical tricolor and the dual color bulbs for the two color (and indeed the single color for the single color lenses).

It should be well less than $500.

Oh, thanks Bob. I would have never thought to get the right color LEDs. My masthead lamp has a single bulb with a bicolor lense. I read that you have a bicolor bulb, cool!

Dr. LED makes a tricolor bulb for a masthead light, too, if yours is tricolor.
