Bill, How did you get the unit apart? I took off the plate on top with the two screws. Didn’t do much. I tried unscrewing it but reached a point where I didn’t want to break it. What’s the secret?
Tomorrow I was going to either manhandle it until it breaks or unscrews, then replace with whatever they have locally or just change the bulb for an LED. And I am confused now, isn’t an anchor light just white. 360 degrees. What’s with the tricolor variety? I left my Davis on and someone stomped it so I upgraded the LED when I got the new Davis from Defender. The old one had the lens separated from the base, I don’t know if it was from impact or just age.
