My nice new Hella anchor LED light arrived and just as soon as I rec'd it, I read something somewhere about possible interference with the radio signal or the wind speed direction instruments whose cables run down the mast. Is there any danger of that?  I was going to replace the deck and steaming light bulbs with LED's as well but now fear has reared its ugly head !!  Any info on this issue?

cliff : Don't know where you read that, but here's my 5/6 years of experience with LEDs.
I've got a boat full of LED lights, from the cabin to the engine instruments (which are on when the engine is running). 
I've never had any interference with the VHF radio!!  BTW, the cockpit VHF radio is mounted just under the engine instrument panel!!
