2014 Work on the O'day 192LED Lights all around - March 28I ordered LED lights for the bow and stern navigation lights and for the dome light. The bow light is the most challenging to replace because it shines through a bi-color lens (red & green) and the view angle should be nearly 180 degrees.
So I was interested to see how these compare, both in color rendition, brightness and view angle to the original incandescent light.
Outside with the naked eye, I couldn't really tell the difference with these lights. From a distance of 10 feet, the brightness overwhelms the naked eye. However I didn't examine them at a distance. Maybe the differences would be more discernible with the naked eye. December 29, 2014 - Charge the batteryCharged the battery. This is an AGM battery so you need a high falootin' battery charger to do it. This is first time I've charged it since I got it. And I really like this charger. The manufacturer has really paid attention to all the details. Only thing I would change is to have a voltmeter on it. |
