Rich,

I don’t know about LED’s, but when I replace my spreader lights I
noticed the swivel mounts were a lot more expensive than solid mounts.
So I got one of each and it worked out great. The fixed mount aims
straight down and the swivel angles onto the foredeck.

Pete,
Can you provide a URL for Kimerlite or a source. When I Google it I don’t
get an LED supplier.

John,

I think the spelling was wrong and it is Kimberlite and they are part of the MISEA Group. I see they also bought SCAD.

Thanks, Paul.
10 years ago I installed Perko spreader lights. No exterior LEDs back
then, or at least I wasn’t aware of any. The Perko lamps are very bright
(35W Sealed Beam) and draw a lot of juice. However I don’t use the
spreader lights often, and then only for a few minutes – so efficiency has
never been an issue with these lights. The problem I’ve encountered is
bulb longevity. So far I’ve had 4 bulbs burn out, even with the limited
use. At $50 per bulb via WM, those $250 Signal Mate lights are looking
comparatively economical, assuming a typical LED service life. I just
bought my 4th Perko bulb, so I guess I won’t be changing the spreader
lights for at least another year.

I got mine from Port Supply (WM) 5 years ago, some generic brand with no

they suck up the amps), but they do the job and haven’t failed yet.

Orca, SCADtech, and Kimberlite combined. I am not sure if they are
still together as such but the addresses in the website are for the guys
at Kimberlite.

I have my spreader lights both on a timer and on a remote control so I
can turn them on from the dinghy at a distance. I wrote an article on
this once… I will see if I can find it again.

Impressive power consumption reduction! Next time I’ll go with LED, too.
