Paul;
I replaced the Perko light on my 38 soon after I bought her - say 2003-2004. I think I used a Forespar light. The light got broken by the leach of the sail when tacking - which is pretty common. So I replaced it in about 2006. I think this one was Aquasignal. That light got broken by the leach of the sail when tacking - guess it is REALLY common. I can't comment on the durability of the bulb. Other than to say I really don't want to be out in conditions where spray can reach a light fixture 30 feet above the waterline. When I had the mast down for replacement of the standing rigging in the summer of 2011 I replaced the light again. This time with a Forespar. But this time I was smart enough to install the wire guard that Forespar makes to protect the steaming/foredeck light from damage by the sail. Wish I'd been smart enough to install the guard in 2004.

Another question: Are you happy with the Aquasignal? I was deciding between the Forespar ML-2, Hella 8505, and the AquaSignal Series 25. I decided on the Hella based on some bad reviews I found online for the other two. The Forespar had reports of top lens falling out while tacking and the AquaSignal was stated as not having any spray protection for the deck light bulb and so bulbs corroded and died prematurely. - Paul E. 1979 C&C 29 Mk1 S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL
