In theory, the LED should last longer. So you might buy 3 or 4 incandescents over the same period as one LED cancelling out the cost difference. In practice, the average age of most sailors means one incadescent will outlast the sailor. Don't buy cheap LEDs for up the mast - they create electrical noise that drowns out weak VHF or AIS signals. Unfortunately they don't seem to drown out classic fm . . .
