Incandescent to LED lights – A boat owner’s conversion guide

Dr LED

 

Dec 12, 2017

Many of the boat owners that I’ve talked to in recent years where considering the change over from incandescent lighting to LEDs. At the Paynes Marine trade show last month in Victoria BC I met up with James Ng Pres. of Dr. LED. I had been impressed with the printed guides that they had developed to assist boaters who wanted to convert to LED lighting.

Incandescent navigation lights have always been a big power drain for boaters as they can draw up to 2A each. With LED navigation lights, boaters need to run their engines far less to replenish the drained batteries. Dr. LED’s Polar Star 40™ series of LED bulbs for navigation lights provide single, bicolor, and tri-color replacements for many brands of navigation light fixtures. All boaters need to do is to remove their incandescent bulbs and replace them with Dr. LED’s LED bulbs. By doing so, the current draw is reduced at least 90% and the long life of Dr. LED’s bulbs will eliminate frequent bulb replacements.

ENVGO NV1: Back to the Future

By Andy Adams

Up to this point, I feel that most electric boats have not been very exciting. The motors have been mainly small portable models for dinghies. There are some high-horsepower motors available, but they look like regular outboard motors to be used on conventional boats. Until now, there hasn’t been an electric boat that really makes a statement. Enter the ENVGO NV1.

Canada’s Superior: the North Shore

Story and photos by Jennifer M. Smith

We’d been north before on a short two-week cruise. At the time, we were unprepared for the isolation, the lack of cell phone coverage, and the spotty VHF reception. Since then we’ve repowered, installed Starlink, and retired from work. Now, with confidence in our engine and our connectivity and more time to sail, we were Superior-ready.
