This light looks great as a replacement for the Aqua Signal that I currently have expect for one detail. The connections are via leads which means three splices inside your mast. The Aqua Signal has pressure plate terminals. On mine, I use an LED for the steaming light but am stuck with the 20 watt incandescent deck light.

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.
