[C320-list] More on LEDs

[Melissa&Larry Leibman]

On Hull #609, the 20 watt lights in the main salon are type MR16, very bright 
but power hogs. I originally wanted to try one of the SensiBulbs (although one 
would blow my bulb budget for the year) since they have had such good reviews 
but unfortunately they don't support that size and don't offer an adapter 
according to Sailors Solutions. I ended up getting an MR16 LED replacement from 
Cruising Solutions at the show. I'm not sure if these are the same as the 
MarineBeam bulb (http://store.marinebeam.com/mrledbu15sms.html) but they look 
the same and were the same price. The light is pretty bright and warm, however, 
with the stereo on in the AM band there is a substantial amount of RFI. Didn't 
seem to noticeable affect VHF performance or the FM band. Just another data 
point.
