Skippers, just a suggestion you may wish to investigate.   We have our mast 
down for winter storage and I removed all the  bulbs and will replace them 
with LED's.  The best prices (and huge  selection) I could find was from 
Marinebeam.com.  The sales person  was Jeff and he was patient and most 
helpful in cross referencing my  existing bulbs to LED replacements.  I 
purchased a top of mast anchor  light bulb,  a festoon style steaming light 
bulb and a reflector  style deck light bulb.  All three were $59 including 
shipping.   That is almost the price of just the reflector deck light alone 
from  WM.  You may want to check it out.
