Dr. LED doesn't yet have edison-base DC floodlights, or equivalent
wattages higher than 45? Of course, my inclinations around that is
something of a toss-up between just waiting another year or two until
they do, and just switching the lighting over to dome lights instead
(especially since some of the dome lights come with a red mode for
nights underway).
Cheers,
Kris
