[PSUBS-MAILIST] LED lights

[Rick Patton via Personal_Submersibles]

I have been experimenting with my LED exterior lights which is a field I
know nothing about which makes it even that much more frustrating and
wanted to get feedback from those who have had success so far using them.

I was planning on using incandescent lights but everyone I talk to say that
LED is the only way to go. I guess my reasoning for staying with
incandescent was that it was a no brainier for me but I liked what I heard
about LED. I initially figured that if 10 lumans is good 10,000 is much
better but I am finding out that once you get up to that high a luman, a
lot of things kick in that you have to deal with!

I also am thinking that I can probably get away with a heck of a lot less
lumans due to the visibility that we have here in Hawaii so maybe all I
need are 5,000 luman lights which put out a lot less heat and don't have to
deal with some of the issues that a 10,000 luman light would.

All input appreciated!
In the dark in Hawaii! not to mention fake missile alerts!!
