TIME MACHINE converted from incandescent to LED last year. We used a module from Bebi-electronics (Fiji). Web-site is www.bebi-electronics.com They ship by postal service, so count on about 10 days.

Installation required hacking up the old fixture to make room for the module. Then glued the LED module in place with 3M-5200.

Current draw was reduced dramatically!

I have not been able to get out on another boat to look at the brightness and assess how visible we are from a distance.

Robert,

Did you convert all 3? (the front Bi-color, rear white, and masthead-white lamps)

My understanding is that for the bi-color navlight you also should use a bi-color LED. Would realy be interested in your experience and result on this.

Thanks,
Bill
