My anchor light I installed last year has a strobe setting. You control it with
on / off sequence of the switch..

But like you said. When I head West into LIS. Whoa. All light

Agreed, but for our night races there are never more than a few other boats not
racing, which would be weekend warriors that I am sure don’t even know anything
beyond red and green anyways. Very little commercial traffic, not like LIS. But
you are correct, it is not kosher. I don’t think anyone would be running around
with anchor lights where you sail, where it could easily be confused with barge
traffic or whatever. What really confuses things is when some guys light their
steaming lights so they can see their teltales. Bill ColemanC&C 39 Erie,

Subject: Stus-List ...Now lighting configurations... I beg to differ.
Anchor light being used to light a windex is confusing and against the regs.
Windex makes a light for that purpose.
A tricolor (with no deck lights) also lights the windex within the lighting
regs.
What about boats not in your fleet?
Lights have meaning.
Forgive my push back on this but I have been part of too many situations where
these seemingly innocent configurations have or could have had consequences.

CC: coltrek@verizon.netWe also use them on Night races to light the Windex. As
long as you know everyone in the fleet is using them for that purpose it is not
confusing. I don’t know what other boats think, but there are usually not too
many of them. Bill ColemanC&C 39 Erie, PA From: CnC-List

Subject: Re: Stus-List Was Wire Gauge, now Where can I get LED? some people use
the anchor light to light the windex. You can buy a light that sits on top of
the mast and shines up for that purpose. I'm waiting for the solar powered
version! I find it hard to judge distance from boats use a masthead light.
Maybe that's just me. Joel On Mon, Aug 24, 2015 at 11:00 AM, David via CnC-List

Wrong. wrong Wrong.
Very confusing when two fleets encounter each another at 2:00am (which happens
surprisingly often).

Exactly right Dennis.
And if motoring, burning three or four lamps is usually not a problem. Hence
the desire to go LED for a masthead tri-light and the practicality of keeping
lower lights as incandescent.
You might be astonished at the number of our American cousins who race around
here at night burning every navigation lamp they can, masthead tri-colour,
forward steaming, red, green and after steaming light. Very common on the
overnight races.

motoring.

the lower lights and one lamp can draw a lot less power than three or four

light, etc. Rule 25 (around page 80) if you're interested.

lights with this one from Marinebeam:
http://store.marinebeam.com/bayonet-ba15s-15-led-bayonet-mini-tower/ It̢۪s
just bright enough. I tried the 18 and 2d 21 led models too. They’re a
bit much.. The 18 is googood as a reading light, the 21 is the master blaster
at the chart table. My sternlight burned-out about a month ago.  I did not
bother looking for a replacement bulb at Marinebeam.. I bought this for 16
bucks instead
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I0BPZ1U?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00My
original fixture̢۪s lens s was all crazed and the housing was getting
brittle… Now itÃ’s all l fresh and nnew. It’s well done too
watertight ht with O-rings and extremely bright as it is a 12 led array. For
the tricolor I splurged a little..
http://www.westmarine.com/buy/misea--led-navigation-light-tri-color-anchor-lights--P013836226It‬™s
a bit pricey but it’s the cat’s a$$. Sup. Super bright, high quality
machined metal housing, no interference with the VHF, automatic anchor light,
and a killer white light illuminating the Windex. You get what you pay for I
guess.. I also have a remote control battery powered LED bar light for the
engine compartment. It's about 20 bucks at Walmart. It's a peel and stick
installation and the light switch is also peel and stick. No wiring. Simple
and perfect for the engine compartment, the remote switch is nice. I am
planning on buying more of
