Now that you ask that, that is the one thing I didn’t like about the steaming light, there was very little space for wiring behind the lights. I cut out a little of the plastic to make more room.
My wiring comes through the front there, and I have a tie wrap choking the cord, (it is a good grade SO Cord), and that has held for nearly 20 years, but a little more room would certainly been nice.

Have had 2 of the Forespar units and the foredeck light dies within a couple years. >From one of the posted reviews it sounds like the electrical connection is >made with butt connectors. Did either of you provide any strain relief on the >wire or is the weight of the wire hanging on the 3 connections?

Seems to be sealed. Very bright.

I pulled new 16AWG wire for everything to the bottom of the mast, then pulled a new common 12AWG ground from there to the panel, along with 16AWG runs for the hots. The new lights are far brighter than the old ones, and seem like they’ll do well in the weather. At the same time, I pulled new VHF and cell repeater antenna runs, and installed new antennas at the masthead; and I also installed an LED Windex light wired with my compass light switch. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- Bayfield, WI On Aug 9, 2016, at 8:21 AM, Joel Aronson via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: It will be too hot in Annapolis for me this weekend, so I want to start on my boat show shopping list. I want to replace my anchor light with an LED anchor/Tri combo and replace the steaming light with a steaming/deck light. Any favorites?
