Environmentally, Safety-Conscious LEDs
Although they’re clearly a superior technology, LED lights haven't become mainstream because they’ve been too expensive, too "blue" and too dim compared to incandescent bulbs. While we can't yet offer you a jumbo-tron 60" LED HDTV flat screen (yet), current J/122 owner JD Hill is the factory agent for a new generation of LEDs that are as bright as the halogen bulbs on your J/Boat, but use only 1/10th of the electricity!! HOLY SMOKES Robin, get to the Bat Cave now and change all those bulbs, we need those carbon credits now!! What's even "cooler", they don't get hot, are fully dimmable, color correct and will last for the lifetime of your J -- guaranteed. Reducing the strain on your J/Boat’s electrical system will also prolong battery life! As well as our liferaft- EARTH! For more information, please visit: www.rejex.com/LED.html or call 469-583-9218. Replacements for your cabin lights retail for approximately $15; mention you’re a fellow J/Boat owner for a discount.
