I've seen the numbers but they didn't really sink in until I got the battery monitor going.
I've converted all the cabin lights that are normally on during an evening with Ancor LED bayonet bulbs. I figured the others, like the head, weren't on long enough to justify the expense.
I just turned on all the LED cabin lights and the battery monitor was showing .65 amps. Turned on just one of the unconverted fixtures and the amp draw jumped right up to about 3.75. That does it. I'm going to replace all the others as well. I'm going to need that juice to run my laptop so I can send you all pictures and reports of my Canada cruise this summer.
