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.

Spotted! Canadian Boating in Antigua & Barbuda

By Mathew Channer

I wore my Canadian Boating cap everywhere I went in Antigua, for the sun, not for the shout-outs. But I sure received a lot of them.

Antigua Sailing Week is an international regatta that draws sailors of every level and spectators from all over the world. Yet I couldn’t walk across a room without being hailed by a Canadian who was as excited to see my cap as they were to see the racing. I met many who were on their 3rd, 4th and 5th visit.
