OD,

Are you taking your boat?  It might be fun.  I've thought about goin south, many of my friends from Coronado Yacht Club have.  I usually do the big & little Ensenada races.  Have driven my RV to Cabo.  Going up the coast & to the Isthmus on Catalina August 18th with our Cruise Fleet.....come join us. 

Any other 320's doing the Ha Ha?

This is fantastic Karl! I was in LED
limbo because of the dizzying array of
advice/claims etc and I didn't want to buy these
things on
trial and error.
I also have to give you kudos for the portable LED
recommendation for the
head. I ordered one and it works perfectly--as soon as
you
open the head
door at night, the motion detector lights the space
up
perfectly! Thanks for
this great research and the recommendations!!

Fear not gang, I've done the shopping and testing for
you.

I did this because I could not believe the vast
majority of
retailer info  
(claims) that I read on the internet. I modeled my
test on
what Practical  
Sailor did in the January 2009 issue, but my focus was
on
finding similar  
technology that was not branded for marine use, hoping
the
cost would be  
less. And it was!!

This is the result of lightmeter testing (albeit
crude) and
more  
importantly, a cruise last week...
http://www.catalina320.com/filemgmt/visit.php?lid=107

Bottom line, I recommend the 6 SMT MR-11 bulb
(jzapower on
eBay) for the  
aft bunk fixtures, the 9 SMT MR-6 array for general
cabin
illumination  
(ledwholesalers on eBay), and the LUXEON 1204WH for
cabin
reading (also  
  from ledwholesalers).

Note that the MR-11 bulbs carry the same pin spacing
as the
aft cabin  
fixture's G-4 bulbs, but with a slightly thicker pin
diameter. They fit  
fine into my well-worn sockets but I have had
problems
making them fit  
into other sockets that want only the G-4 bulb. Of
course a
little filing  
would fix that. I like the MR-11 over the G-4 because
the
MR-11's  
reflector directs more of the light out of the fixture
and
towards your  
reading material.

Have fun (and go sailing),
Karl
