Also I recall, if converting a white incandescent bulb ( atop mast with coloured lenses) to led , one has to use the correct type of led , warm white iirc. The cool white will produce a non conforming colour through the lenses.
Please double check as I may have got this information from a man in the pub.
That is true, a warm white led gives the best colours through the tricolour lens.

Boatlamps do a suitable LED replacement and it works very well in my bow and masthead lights.

I also replaced my incandescent bulbs with LED warm white for colored lensed and cool white to stern, anchor and steaming. giving much increased range

On nav lights in general, I understand Aqua Signal have withdrawn from the market:

"AquaSignal have announced discontinuation of all recreational navigation lights, Series 41, 40 and 25 are no longer manufactured..."
It appears that at least Aqua Signal series 34, LED based lights for pleasure boats, is still being produced...
Series 34
