| ![Thumbnail](tpix0p8.jpg) | The left light shows the unmodified light fixture. On the right, it shows the 6 LEDs relpacing the bulb. 3 are pointing down, the other 3 to the sides. 6 LEDs is probably more than required. My cost was about $2 for the fixture and $7 for 6 LEDs. |
| ![Thumbnail](tpix1p8.jpg) | The unmodified and modified fixtures lit. The unmodified draws 300 ma. The modified 110 ma. The LED fixture is much brighter and has a more pure white light. The stock Mac cabin lights draw 1.5 amps each. |
| ![Thumbnail](tpix2p8.jpg) | Another picture taken of the lit fixtures using no background lighting. The LEDs are extrememly bright 15000 MCD I am placing 4 of these in the cabin for a total draw of less than .5 amp. The two stock Cabin lights draw more than 6 times this amount. |
| ![Thumbnail](tpix3p8.jpg) | This is a schematic for the LEDs. I use a 470 ohm 1/8 watt for each LED in my setup. The reason is that this gives me 18 ma. per LED @ 12 Volts and 22 ma. per LED @ 14 V. This is a good range. |
| ![Thumbnail](tpix4p8.jpg) | I removed the bulb from the Davis Mega Light, glued a plastic convex mirror (walmart $1) in the top and aimed 2 LEDs at the mirror for my anchor light. |
| ![Thumbnail](tpix5p8.jpg) | The LED on the left is a 21,000 MCD with a higher blue component and more focused light (Thanks Chip Hindes). The one at the right is the LED I use which is 16,000 MCD and a bit whiter. |
| ![Thumbnail](tpix6p8.jpg) | One of the several LED fixtures mounted in the cabin. Also note the fluorescent fixture. |
| ![Thumbnail](tpix7p8.jpg) | This is my answer to the desire for spreader lights. A small fixture with 3 LEDs in an arc mounted on the mast. It lights the entire deck at night. |
| ![Thumbnail](tpix8p8.jpg) | Here is a picture I tried to take at night to show how the deck is lit by the LEDs. The boom shade is on or you could see the aft portion lit as well. |
| ![Thumbnail](tpix9p8.jpg) | When I added the swim handle I needed to add a port. I used clear and mounted LEDs behind to light the transom. Great when coming back to your boat at night. I also used a photocell so the LED will turn only at night. |
