The LED replacement bulbs are mostly NOT USCG CERTIFIED in any fixture. As such, you could be in serious trouble if you get into an accident.
Trisstan—
It depends on what the boat is doing. If the boat is under power, it would require a stern light, a steaming light and red and green sidelights. If it is under sail, it requires a stern light and red and green sidelights.
On smaller boats under sail, the sidelights and sternlight can be replaced by a tricolor—which are a solid red, green and white light in a single fixture at the mast top.
On smaller boats under power, the stern light and steaming light can be combined as a single all-around white light, but the sidelights are STILL REQUIRED.
You really should read up on what the COLREGS require. NONE allow a boat to have flashing RED, GREEN and WHITE lights
AFAIK.

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.
