Strobe is for signaling Mayday. Same as a flare.

I see when you look at the one you bought, one of the Pix has an X through their $20 more expensive tri color light they sell, as though they are trashing their own product. I am just about to replace a tall incandescent tricolor/anchor, but it has four wires. One thing I am curious about, I removed a strobe from my boat when I bought it, as I thought it was illegal to use a strobe. When is it kosher to flash a strobe, when you are going down?

Nice build and packaging. I'll be trying out their new two wire Tricolor/anchor/strobe this season and a steaming/decklight combo too.

There are two types of retrofit LED's I used, one type is just Warm White, the other switches between Red and Warm White. Absolutely no changes to the existing lights required, no wiring changes either, just put them in and they work Very nice light form them too. 23-LED CONSTELLATION MATRIX FOR DOME LIGHTS (UN-DOME-23-WW) SKU: BA-1156-23X-WW * Base Type: Single-Contact (BA15s) https://store.marinebeam.com/23-led-constellation-matrix-for-dome-lights-un-dome-23-ww/ RED/WHITE "SWITCHABLE" LED FOR DOME LIGHTS (UN-DOME-15-RWW) SKU: UN-DOME-15-RWW Base Type: Single-Contact (BA15s) https://store.marinebeam.com/red-white-switchable-led-for-dome-lights-un-dome-15-rww/ We've had them for 4 or 5 years now, absolutely no issues.

I mostly race her so the lights don't get used very often. I want to get something that is relatively inexpensive, will not rust/tarnish (forget about the traditional brass stuff) and most importantly will work reliably after long periods of no use. They probably will be powered by the house 12V--I tried battery operated (in the housing) and these were a total waste of money since the batteries corroded faster than they lost their charge! I am talking about forward and aft cabin lights (~ 6 total) which mount to the ceiling with built in switches for on-off and white/red. The housings on these will be exposed--visible so that 'ribbon' type LEDs are out. In the main cabin, I need 4 that will be mounted under the 'shelves' and thus the housings are not important. I also need 2 that would be mounted in the forward cabin corners for reading and 2 in the 'ceiling', all of which would be exposed so the housing is important. I thought I might go with one source for consistency and maybe save some money. I am looking for suggestions from the list before I decide.
