Another Aids to Navigation Advance

Here is another LED beacon advance that is really cool. The new Carmanah LEDs are all-inclusive, in that they have no need for external solar panels, heavy batteries or cables like the traditional 155-mm incandescent lights or other recent LED optics. They are quite a marvel!
