Allowing Alternatives to Incandescent Light in Private Aids to Navigation

The Coast Guard is removing the requirement to use only tungsten-incandescent lighting for private aids to navigation. It will enable private industry and owners of private aids to navigation to take advantage of recent changes in lighting technology-specifically to use lanterns based on light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The greater flexibility will reduce the consumption of power and simplify the maintenance of private aids to navigation.
