[Public-List] Port and starboard navigation lights.

[Gordon Laco]

Hello Stephen

I've switched Surprise over to LED.  You can get LED 'bulbs' to fit any incandescent now.    They aren't rated, but I have noticed they're much brighter and have more vivid colours than what I had.  

And of course one can hardly measure the amps they draw...  

Gord #426 Surprise.
