[C320-list] Deck Light Type

[Allan Field]

What is listed below is from old saved emails! "Fred" is listing a choice
between 2 different bulbs for the deck light:  Deck:   Perko Cat. No.
68-12V-20W  *OR* OSRAM Decostar 51 Halogen 20W-12V – 44860WFL. Then I think
Irv says *not to use* a 20W Halogen. I'd stick with the Perko.
