Responding late to the discussion. My mast is out so I am replacing all the light fixtures and wiring and selected MarineBeam's Anchor Light/tri-color/Strobe Combo that works with two wires. https://store.marinebeam.com/smart-led-tri-color-anchor-light-and-strobe-n3-tri-cmb/ I tested the light and it is very very bright and works just like they claim and the strobe flashes S-O-S. Lots of features for $109 and it seems very well made. We'll see how it holds up.
Replaced the VHF antenna wire too. > On May 7, 2018 at 1:34 PM Matthew Schlanger via CnC-List > <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > > Thanks. > Still thinking a white anchor light, but you reflect my experience, at > the last minute I started thinking just change it out. > > Matt > > > > > On May 7, 2018, at 1:28 PM, Francois Rivard > <jeanfrancoisriv...@gmail.com mailto:jeanfrancoisriv...@gmail.com > wrote: > > > > Hi Matt, > > > > When I took my mast down I took a good look at the brittle dried-up > > housing, crazed plastic lens, and iffy led conversion on the existing unit > > and threw it in the trash.
