More LED's are what's required, but they need to be placed correctly. The
way they get coverage fore & aft is to arrange the mounting in a vertical
cylinder. They need to be mounted in a modified sphere. Again, it's so
simple I can't understand why no one's done it. A quick search on Google
turned up nothing that will work on a sailboat.
