I'm not quite sure if it's a new bulb, or an entire new assembly. I'm waiting for the yard to call me back with the model. Mark McMenamy C&C 25 "Icicle" Fort Pierce FL On Jun 29, 2016, at 8:06 PM, BillBinaList via CnC-List mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: >From the description in the or

From the description in the original post, it sounds as if this is a complete new LED assembly, and not just an LED substituted for an incandescent lamp in an old fixture. In these assemblies, there is no "socket" the LED's are soldered directly into the circuit board, and the assembly is perma

In all likelihood, it is the socket that the LED bulb is mounted on. Those cheap sockets are notorious for corrosion and no amount of regulation is going to prevent the LED from flickering. Go up the mast with a bit of sandpaper and some contact cleaner and I am willing to bet you will find you

Probably wouldn't hurt to call tech support at the manufacture before you go up the mast. They may have some tips for how to do a comprehensive evaluation. They might even offer to send you a new unit in advance before you go up, with the agreement to send back the defective one to avoid being

I just reread your post and saw that it's 'built in'. Looks like a trip up the mast. Thanks. Mark McMenamy C&C 25 "Icicle" Fort Pierce FL On Jun 29, 2016, at 8:02 AM, Bill Bina - gmail via CnC-List mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: That LED, regardless of brand, has a built in regulato

Thanks Bill. I'm guessing that the regulator is up at top of the mast with light? Do I need to replace the whole assembly? Thanks, Mark McMenamy C&C 25 "Icicle" Fort Pierce FL On Jun 29, 2016, at 8:02 AM, Bill Bina - gmail via CnC-List mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: That LED, regar

That LED, regardless of brand, has a built in regulator circuit. That is true even of LED replacement lamps put in the original incandescent fixture. It sounds as if your regulator is defective. That the light is sometimes dim is the giveaway. The regulator is designed (when working properly) t

Mark, Check the connection from the mast to the boat for tightness and corrosion. The bulb could also be loose in the fixture at the top of the mast. Rick Taillieu Nemesis '75 C&C 25 Halifax, NS. On 06/29/16 08:18, Mark McMenamy via CnC-List wrote: > > Hello Everyone, > > I'm having a p

Hello Everyone, I'm having a problem with my anchor light and would appreciate some advice. Three months ago I had an LED anchor light installed and my mast rewired. Things have been working perfectly but now my anchor light is working intermittently. At times it is dim, or flickers, or shut
