I'm guessing from previous discussions that you only need to worry about this USCG reg minutiae is if you have a Captain's license. Right?

And then there was the discussion of whether putting LED bulbs in old fixtures would be compliant with USCG regs. Many said no as the whole unit, both bulb and fixture, has to be certified. And that was why for a long period there were so few USCG approved LED running lights; the approval process was long and involved and many companies did not want to expend the $ or effort…

So, if an incident were to occur and it was discovered that the whole fixture was not in compliance [and lights were relevant to the incident] might liability fall differently and insurance companies not be forthcoming with any coverage?

Any current thoughts?Â

Now this really confuses me, when I first went LED on my forward running lights, I replaced them with red and green, and then someone, I think at the boat show, or maybe in one of the boat magazines, said you had to have white coming through a colored lens, so I changed back to white. Now my port running light is broken, and I am in the market, and now I am really confused!
