They do have direct replacement LEDs that run on 12V. One point to be aware
of though. I don't think any of the LED nav lights have type approval or
whatever the USCG requires. I know they don't approve specific equipment,
but there was a discussion somewhere that technically, you aren't legal if
you're using them right now. That doesn't mean they aren't available though.
That all said, see:

hi
a workmate suggested i use LEDs instead of 12v bulbs for lighting on my
28ft yacht. i have house & engine battery and although i live aboard the
cabin lights dont get a lot of use, but nav lights are generally on all
night. has anyone had any experience with replacing conventional lighting
with LEDs? Would i need a step down transformer on the ligting circuits
because the LEDs are generally 4volt?

cheers
