New lamps for old

Wasn't that the opening line of Aladdin?
These are for the boat, the festoon in the centre goes in the steaming light that is halfway up the mast. Given the usual life of a festoon bulb and its position I didn't fancy having to shin up the mast to replace it.
The other two are for the bicolour at the bow and the stern light. In incandescent they consume 30watts and when sailing you rely on the batteries on the boat so cutting the load to 2.4watts is worthwhile.
Always assuming we go to sea at night........
