Mmm – twice as much as the Aqua Signal.  I wonder if it is twice as good - ?

Evidently you must think so – OK, Thanks Fred.

Bill — I’m in the process of rewiring my mast and replacing all the mast 
lighting; I’m replacing the steaming/deck combo light with this LED fixture 
from MarineBeam:

They just started shipping these; as a fully-sealed fixture, there shouldn’t be 
any corrosion issues, ever.  I’m also installing their combo masthead 
tricolor/anchor light:

Interesting, well, I am replacing a Perko# 120MD  because Perko  decided to use 
plain steel for their light sockets and is corroded beyond repair. This 
Aquasignal Series 25 looks just like the Perko steaming/Deck light, whatever 
they want to call it, so I am going to call it a Steaming/Deck Light. Except 
that, now I see this particular one is not on sale during the Warehouse sale. 
Being a Sailor, and chronically cheap, now this presents another problem. . . . 
.

As they call this a masthead light, does this mean it is supposed to be at the 
very top of the mast? Mine is just above the baby stay, and is caused chafing 
on my Genoa. I have never seen a steaming /Deck light anywhere other than half 
way up the mast, does anyone have any feeling on this? BTW, the reason it is 
above the baby stay, is because I put track on the mast front for storing the 
Spinnaker Pole.
