Peter, they were (or were very similar to) the hella oval amber ones, hella part#96255 -- see page 616 in w. marine 2001 catalog, or better yet, try this link http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/commerce/command/ProductDisplay?prmenbr=201... between the 3 of them, they only draw 180 ma, so they'd draw less and 1 amp over 5 hours which essentially means if you have a battery on board at all, you could run them more than you'd ever need to. I also got one of those solar panels (again from west marine) at the boat show recently -- the ones that just clip onto your battery -- i think it generates 300 ma in bright sun. Seems to do an excellant job although i haven't cruised with it yet. loyd pjacobs@islandnet.com wrote:

-Peter- M17 "Enfin"
Tod, Last year i put 3 LED's in the cabin of my M17 -- they work great and draw next to nothing -- i used orange. I put one at the top of the mast post support on the forward side. The other two, i put on the vertical surface formed by the forward end of the shelves molded into the liner. That way, they reflect off the v-berth wall illuminating the area where you would be, say, reading in bed while anchored in a secluded cove off of lopez island in the san juans. the location also has the advantage that its *really* easy to get the wiring routed down to the panel.
Loyd
I think I'd also like to install some LEDs in the cabin and bought some a while back for experimenting. When I get to it (after all the other things on my to-do list) I'll give a holler.
Thanks,
Tod
