2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct

The answer to your question is yes. I have all LED on my boat using 12volts, and have high intensity spreader lights to illuminate the deck. Even shrimp boats are switching over to LED as well as law enforcement for their spot lights.
