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.

The Whitsunday Islands

By Mathew Channer

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
