IMO, most serious shopping is now done by catalog. The retail stores,
particularly in smaller communities, primarily exist to sell only the
highest-turnover and convenience items. The WM catalog has 2-3 times
as much stuff listed than you will find stocked in even the largest
stores.


Just for giggles, I just visited West Marine's online store. They didn't
list the type of LED light fixtures I was looking for, but I almost couldn't
resist taking advantage of their offer of a roll of "premium" vinyl black
electrical tape. 7 bucks a roll.

Checking another, competing, catalog source that's even larger than
WM's catalog, I can't find any LED lights listed for what I have the
impression you want to pay.
Lots of LED's available for every imaginable application, but not for
just a few bucks apiece.

While ordering that electrical tape, don't forget to stock up on
"marine" sandpaper. :-)
