I don’t see why not. I assume an LED would operate at a cooler temperature than an incandescent bulb, too, even a small low wattage Christmas tree lightbulb. I was thinking about taking the pilot house apart to replace the dark-tinted plast …

Hi Pete, Okaaay! That complicates the issue a little. 'I think I better think it out again'! Now we have to decide which lights you want to switch together as some would not normally be on simultaneously; e.g. Anchor and running lights. Do …
