[Public-List] Port and starboard navigation lights.

[Manza, John CIV OSD POLICY]

Same on JANTE II...all nav lights are LEDs.  They are brighter and use such little power that there is no indication on my meter.  The LED cluster anchor light is easily 10 times brighter than the old incandescent bulb.  John #150

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...
