Speaking of LED's I want to replace my mast head tri light and my anchor light with LED's. Can someone suggest a source these kind of LED's that are reasonably priced?

Remember that they're probably rated anywhere from six to ten watts, which is a bunch for LEDs. Without the heat management, they'd smoke in just a few hours.

When you run LED's directly off of a 12 volt system, they don't give off much heat.
