Tired of the bulb replacements. Went out Saturday night to watch fireworks to come back with no Nav lights. Bulbs burned out. Anyone use the Attwood 3500 series LED lights I found on the PontoonStuff. They seem pretty good. What LED stern light are you using? MUST be LED.

My new one from PS just came in last week haven't installed it yet but all my trailer lights and nav lights are led these days. Heck, I'm going led in the house as well, as they go out they get changed to led.

I used them on my rebuild 3 years ago and they very bright, attwood has 1 mile and 2 mile versions, mine are the 2 mile visibility. Also have the Bimini mount led too and that one seem to be OK for brightness but nowhere near as bright as the red/greens

Thanks, I ordered the 2 mile ones. We will see if they are too bright for the river. Once the stern one goes out I will order that one. I was wondering how bright a small light like that would be.

Ditto for me and I do a lot of night cruising love the LED.

I just installed a new LED one from pontoon stuff. Very bright but has a good shield so it doesn't blind you.

I switched my anchor light to LED and now have switched it back...
It was waay to bright for my taste and the additional bugs agreed. It seemed like I got a lot more bugs coming to visit with that bright strobe light! I may switch the green and red to LED's and save the anchor led if I ever camp on the boat and desire to be seen from farther away.

Installed the RED/GREEN leds yesterday. I like these, they are nice and bright. Should never have a problem with them. I soldered all the connections so no corrosion issues. Thanks for the input everyone.
