Say WHAT?

I have replaced all of the incandescent lamps on my sailboat ,
including the navigation lights. The LED's use 1/10th the power for
the same amount of light. That's not a random number - a typical light
that drew 2 amps gets replaced by an LED that is a little brighter and
draws slightly less than .2 amps.

On a cruising sailboat, you have to keep careful track of your
electrical budget.
