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

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.

There is a small compass wire holder inside the pedestal that holds it tight

I have two of the Caframo compacts. On low speed I don't find them that
noisy. I added the clip on mount and put 12 vdc receptacles in strategic
locations so I can put the fans where I want them. See:

Low speed they are fine, but on high speed - which is what gets used on a hot

As I said, I'm using it outside on hot days. It moves a lot of air, and
noise doesn't matter much in that application. Inside, I'm using Boras.
They are very quiet and use less power than the rest of the Caframo line.

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
From the description in the original post, it sounds as if this is a
