Stus-List Spreader lights

[Glenn Henderson via CnC-List]

I am replacing the old (but very Bright) spreader lights on my C&C 41. With
all the new technology advances, do any of you have a graciously accepted
recommendation on a particular light. I did enjoy the very bright lights
that are on the mast. They still work but I am sure there are LED's that
offer as bright illumination. If any one would like my existing lights,
just pay shipping and I will send them to you.

Re: Stus-List spreader lights - do you use them?

[Dave via CnC-List]

Thanks all for the responses - the 33-2 has the stock steaming/foredeck combo, 
plus, on mine the vestigial wiring for past spreader lights.  I have used the 
foredeck light once.  Each has its own breaker, argument enough for moving to 
led and replacing at least one breaker with a compact switch.   Will be dealing 
with mast stuff this winter

I only use mine dockside at night when tidying the boat after a sail.

Dave, 

I have not used my spreader lights while sailing(yet), but I have used them 
many times for social activities mostly while docked at my marina but also 
sometimes while at anchor socializing with a large group. That said, I normally 
anchor over night limiting my light and noise pollution. There was one night 
when a large shrimper came into the island cove where I was anchored, it was 
very likely that we were seen at anchor, but it was comforting to announce our 
presence by switching on the spreaders for about 30 sec.

Good Day all, 

Set Windstar ('85 33-2) on the hard yesterday, mast down. A rewire of the 
mast has been on the to-do list for awhile. I noted (again) two 
long-unused conductors poking out of the mast below the lower spreaders. 
No light fixture, but there is a labelled breaker in the panel. 

I can imagine unusual situations where one might need these but so far I 
have not missed them. Perhaps though, ignorance is bliss. 

Do you use yours? Tx as always. 

Dave

[Joel Aronson via CnC-List]

At night we have headlamps on.  We will light up the sail with the white
light.

Spreader lights would be nice dockside, but otherwise I would have no use
for them.  I don't like making holes in spars, so my default is less stuff.

Re: Stus-List Spreader lights

[Robert Gallagher via CnC-List]

Hi,

My previous C&C had spreader lights and I used them before the advent of
cheap, reliable, LED headlamps.

My current boat has a deck light under the steaming light and I don't use
it.

One nice feature of ether deck or spreader is that you can light up the
boat in an emergency.

If you do replace them, go LED.

May you can find some that will strobe for those nights when you need to
use the deck as a dance floor.

[Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List]

I don’t have them to use, but my steaming light does a fair job lighting up the 
foredeck.  If there is some kind of tangled up mess with a chute or something 
we might turn it on to see what is what. Traditional spreader lights are good 
to make your boat visible to others if needed or cleaning up after a nighttime 
party.

Dave — I’ve got the LED combo deck/steaming light I replaced last winter; and 
yes, I do occasionally use it to light the deck at night.  More often when 
sailing at night, I’ll use a red LED headlamp, though, to save night vision.

Re: Stus-List Spreader lights

[Martin DeYoung via CnC-List]

>”… about portable lanterns that I used to use as a kid when camping. They ran 
>off propane and gave off a nice soft light.”

Way back in the early 80’s when I owned an Ericson 30+ and still enjoyed an 
adult beverage or two, a gas powered Coleman camp light and heater played a 
part in being one of those obnoxious transient moorage people that I avoid 
today.

Late one very cold New Year’s day evening, both boats tied up in Port Ludlow WA 
with our wife/GF asleep below, a sailing buddy and I decided we should attempt 
to stay up all night drinking and telling sea stories.  With the wife/GF’s 
below our only acceptable option was to party in the cockpit of the bigger 
boat.  The fact it was currently in the mid 20sF headed for the teens was a 
minor concern so we added a Coleman type camp stove/heater and a gas light to 
our boom box and hot buttered rum supplies.  Frank Zappa was our choice for the 
boom box with the volume set low.  We had a tea kettle set on top of the 
Coleman heater to keep our constant supply of hot buttered rums, hot.

Somewhere around 0200 hours we noticed a guy opening the sliding glass doors on 
a Bayliner that was a few boat lengths away.  He headed out onto the dock and 
began untying his boat to move it.  Being mostly drunk and feeling magnanimous 
we jumped up to assist.  As we were helping him move as far away as he could 
without getting underway he mumbled something about having difficulty with the 
shore power.  We cheerfully re-tied up his frozen mooring lines and wished him 
a good night.  In retrospect and the cold light of the morning I expect his 
wife had grown tired of our sea stories with a Frank Zappa musical score. 
(Frank’s double album rock opera “Joe’s Garage” was the current choice.)  The 
power boater’s mumbled comment regarding the shore power undoubtedly was chosen 
to avoid confronting two drunk sailors dumb enough to spend hours drinking 
outside in freezing weather.

About the time the Myers rum bottle was more than ½ gone we started to discuss 
how great it would be to go sailing through the cold air “smoke” wafting across 
the inlet.  Fortunately we were not able to figure out how to get underway 
without waking either wife/GF.  This undoubtedly saved us from some sort of 
serious trouble relating to hypothermia or attempting to sail while cold and 
drunk.  We were able to write some season’s greetings in the frost on the dock 
in honor of Frank Zappa’s hit song “Watch out were the huskies go, don’t you 
eat yellow snow”.

Sadly we did not achieve our goal to staying awake and on deck until the sun 
came up.  We hit the cold and drunk wall around 0530 with an estimated sunrise 
of 0700.  We retired to our respective boats/bunks and a much needed sleeping 
bag.  Around 1000 hours my in-laws show up to drive us to Port Townsend for 
breakfast and shopping.  I’m told the father-in-law pushed open the 
companionway slider and asked “what’s that smell?” to which my wife responded 
“that’s just Martin, he was up late drinking”.  So, very hung over, maybe still 
buzzed I found myself in a restaurant ordering coffee and a bloody Mary and 
contemplating what tasty breakfast food might be a good choice.  After a bleary 
breakfast we started the Port Townsend antique shopping mall circuit.  I made 
it about two stores before stating “I will be sitting at the Town Tavern, come 
find me when you are finished” and beat a hasty retreat.  It all worked out 
well as the father-in-law showed up a while later and we “bonded” over a few 
beers.

BTW, proving that SSMS* (Sailor’s Short Memory Syndrome) exists, that same 
sailing/drinking buddy and I had many, many other great adventures involving 
drinking around the waterfront up until we both became parents in the early 90s 
and shelved the Myers rum.  (*SSMS has also been diagnosed when a sailor goes

This has got me thinking about portable lanterns that I used to use as a kid 
when camping. They ran off propane and gave off a nice soft light. Looks like 
Coleman make something similar. The advantage would be that I can use my grill 
propane cylinders.

I have one of those as well.  Use it as a low anchor light for drunken
rednecks on party barges.

Don't like it for cockpit illumination.  Prefer the UST 10 day mentioned in
my last post.

Stus-List Spreader lights

[Jean-Francois J Rivard via CnC-List]

I just bought one those : 
http://www.lowes.com/pd_23564-14488-SBQ-3998-CU_0__?productId=3318292  For 
less than 10 bucks @ Home Depot 

It's impressively made for being this cheap.  Has a nice machined aluminum 
clamp and machined aluminum (anodized red) for the cap with a built-in 
waterproof switch. 

I clamp it above the boom on my split backstay and it illuminates the 
whole cockpit very nicely.  It's brash  / very bright led's if you stare 
at it directly but since it's mounted about 7 feet up on the backstay by 
the time the light gets to the cockpit surface It makes a nice soft glow 
off the gelcoat. 

One of my buddies installed those 
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Brinkmann-Premium-Grill-Light-812-1087-S/204398701 
 on either side of his rear pulpit, he says they provide excellent 
lighting and you don't look at the LED directly they are mounted low.. 

There are literally hundreds of different styles and most for less than 20 
bucks..   That's one boat item you can get that is refreshingly nice for 
little money

Re: Stus-List Spreader lights

[Rick Brass via CnC-List]

The purpose of spreader lights is to light up the deck at night, as when
doing things like reefing the main. I also use mine to light up the deck
when at the dock and taking aboard passengers or loading/unloading gear. My
"spreader" lights are Forespar lights that attach to the mast instead of
under the spreaders. I believe they were originally 10 watt lights, but I've
replaced the incandescent bulbs with LEDs that produce about the same level
of light.

I also have a combination foredeck and steaming light mounted higher on the
front of the mast. The foredeck light gets used when working on the foredeck
to set or retrieve the anchor or to rig/douse the asymmetrical spinnaker.
IIRC it was 20 watts and has also  been changed to an LED with a  reflector.
Gives bright work light on the foredeck, but pretty useless for lighting the
side decks and further aft, and has no value whatsoever when at the dock.

I did discover another use for the foredeck light one night on a friend's
boat when his steaming light was out. The foredeck light reflected pretty
strongly off the top of his radar dome, and lit up the headsail when motor
sailing. SO we ran it as a temporary substitute for the inop steaming light.

Subject: Stus-List Spreader lights

This has been bothering me all summer, there are wires hanging out of my
mast just under the spreaders (first set) it's obvious that someone has
removed the original spreader lights. I've been looking online at the
multitude of LED spreader lights available, and am wondering just how useful
they are, especially when they are so incredibly bright. What do you have?
Do you use them? Are they only used when at the slip? Would a spotlight or
two be more useful up there? I think I saw a red/white combo light
somewhere, would that be a better choice?

Don’t forget about the Davis LED lights with long cords that plug into 12-volt 
receptacles.

http://www.davisnet.com/marine/products/marine_product.asp?pnum=03300

I use one for an anchor light (I’m suspicious that many people don’t see the 
ones at the top of masts) hanging above the boom that also does a decent job of 
lighting the cockpit.

Re: Stus-List Spreader lights

[William Hall via CnC-List]

I had dinner on a friend's very nice boat on Friday.  He had rigged a small
light on the bottom of the boom which lit up the cockpit very nicely.

Re: Stus-List Spreader lights

[Frederick G Street via CnC-List]

James — I recently replaced my steering pedestal, and added a Navpod for my 
helm instruments.  I also ran power from my “Cabin Lights” breaker to the pod 
through a one-amp fuse, and put a red and a white one of these on the curved 
bottom of the pod, through an On-Off-On toggle switch in the pod:

These light up the cockpit sole (and table, when it’s up) very nicely with 
either white or red light.

Re: Stus-List Spreader lights

[jtsails via CnC-List]

Earlier this year I changed out my old perko combo steaming/foredeck light for 
a marinebeam combo. The marinebeam LED is awesome, the old light really didn’t 
illuminate the foredeck at all (it was 39 years old) and the new light is so 
bright it throws shadows. the only problem I have is the new light is so well 
focused that it doesn’t light the back half of the boat at all so now I’m 
trying to decide between spreader lights or a small LED fixture to light the 
floor of the cockpit. I don’t won’t anything too bright so I’m almost convinced 
that I will install a small dimmable LED fixture in the cockpit to light the 
floor.

Ditto. With foredeck light I don't see need for spreader lights.

  This has been bothering me all summer, there are wires hanging out of my mast 
just under the spreaders (first set) it's obvious that someone has removed the 
original spreader lights. I've been looking online at the multitude of LED 
spreader lights available, and am wondering just how useful they are, 
especially when they are so incredibly bright. What do you have? Do you use 
them? Are they only used when at the slip? Would a spotlight or two be more 
useful up there? I think I saw a red/white combo light somewhere, would that be 
a better choice?

Re: Stus-List Spreader lights

[Peter Delean via CnC-List]

This summer I had the boat completely re-wired. That included installing a
combination Steaming light/deck light.

There are separate switches on the DC board for each light even though the
deck light is the bottom portion of the steaming light housing. Located
half way up the mast it throws a perfect bright light over the deck,
illuminating everything from the mast to the bow. I was amazed how well it
worked when I tried it the other day.

I too had wires hanging out of the spreaders. Not needed anymore.
