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. ------- Original message -------- From: Rick Brass via CnC-List <[email protected]> Date: 4/2/2016 9:32 PM (GMT-05:00) To: [email protected] Cc: Rick Brass <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Stus-List LED Nav Lights Because by the definition in the ColRegs, a “Masthead” light is white and shows over an arc of 225 degrees facing the bow of the boat. I know, I call it a steaming light and that is what the switch on my switch panel says. The all-around white light that you put on when you are at anchor, are aground, etc. isn’t called an “Anchor Light” – even though that is what I have marked on the switch. That is referred to as an All-around white light in the ColRegs.
