[C320-list] LED lighting

[Robert Seastream]

I'll be overnighting on the boat (for two weeks, yippee!) starting  
this Friday; will let you know then.  Even in the afternoon light,  
brightness seemed comparably to the halogen.
I figured even at $30 a light they're worth a shot.  I can always  
return them to WM.  In looking at the WM webpage vs the Dr. Led  
webpage, I see some discrepancies in WM's markings.  They may have  
mismarked the 'MR11' package that I bought.
