[Public-List] LED light bulbs?

[John Riley]

Bob,

I replaced our cabin lights with LED fixtures...not just the bulbs, but 
the whole deal.  It was pricey, but to me/us worth it. We were living 
aboard at the time, and the juice savings + brightness was well worth 
the $$.

Here's a side-by-side shot comparing with both the LED fixture and the 
old incandescent  still installed.

The brighter one on frame-right is LED, the other is 10 W incandescent 
(standard incandescent cabin lighting).

I bought the LED fixtures at Ship's Store, if I recall correctly. I can 
certainly look it up.
