I've been using an Orca Green Marine LED Tri-Anchor light for two years now. The unit only needs two wires to work as both an
anchor light or a tricolor, and uses very little power. When I've been anchored out, and look at the anchored boats from shore, I've noticed that the OGM
anchor light appears brighter and whiter than the anchor
lights on other boats.
The fixture I have also features an emergency strobe and required a third wire to use the strobe feature. They've come down quite a bit in price over the last two years and are USCG certified. I am planning on switching all of my deck level running
lights over to LED-based fixtures.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
