RE: [Cal_Boats] LED lights (Bob/ Bruce)

LUMEN Puck Lights 3 pack: I just bought two 3 packs at Costco, about $15 each. These are perfect for inside lockers, etc. I figure the LED will not draw down the AAA batteries for some time. Looks like an elegant solution. Mike Robinson Cal 36 # 4 Pt.

All for about $20.00. They are battery operated, on-off switch, and the light head swivels and pivots for "ideal light positions." Three AAA batteries per light. They are called "LUMEN" and they are warrantied for two years. They attach with either velcro or a screw.

Hi - I use the Costco pucks as well. One in the vberth, one in the salon, and two angled into the engine area access panels. I find the cabin ones useful for that last check when the batt switch is off. Or when I'm working on the elec's at night and need to shutdown the batts for a moment. I thought about placing a red filter over them to make poor-mans night lighting. With the velcro you could stick one in the cockpit at night, conditions permitting.
