I have a 1940 CC Enclosed Bridge wooden boat. I am interested in what it would take to exchange out my old (and original) incandescent navigation light sockets and bulbs and use some LED's within the original chrome housings. I guess I am looking for white lights as the nav lights have colored lenses. From what little reading I have been able to do, it looks like you need to use transformers in some cases. My use would be 12V. Does anyone know of a wiring schematic that would be available? My anchor light socket is bad, so I am thinking LED's might be better and more weather resistant and maybe even brighter.
Thx,
OLE CHRIS
