https://store.marinebeam.com/led-masthead-foredeck-combination-light/ <https://store.marinebeam.com/led-masthead-foredeck-combination-light/> They just started shipping these; as a fully-sealed fixture, there shouldn’t be any corrosion issues, ever. I’m also installing their combo masthead tricolor/anchor light: https://store.marinebeam.com/led-tri-color-navigation-and-all-around-anchor-light/ <https://store.marinebeam.com/led-tri-color-navigation-and-all-around-anchor-light/> — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^( > On Apr 4, 2016, at 9:18 AM, Bill Coleman via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: > > Interesting, well, I am replacing a Perko# 120MD because Perko decided to > use plain steel for their light sockets and is corroded beyond repair.
