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 charged. Some manufacturers do that. They
sell you a new one, and issue a full refund as soon as you send the old
one back.

I just reread your post and saw that it's 'built in'. Looks like a
trip up the mast. Thanks.

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) to make up for incoming voltage that
is either lower or higher than required.

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 shuts off. I climbed down
into the locker and worked all the wires and connections to see if I had a bad
connection and replaced the fuse as well. It has the original electrical panel
with the fuses. As all the wiring from the switch to the top of the mast is
new, I was thinking the problem is at the panel. Before I tore it apart I
thought I'd ask for and thoughts or opinions.
Thanks a lot.
