A friend of mine with a 33-1 installed a windex light a few years ago. Great
for night racing. I believe he just took a waterproof bulb housing and taped it
to the windex arm. He aligns the light so it's on the top of the arm, that way
your not staring up at the bulb, but can see the light reflected from the
windex. I think if was to do one, I would be tempted to use those strips of
waterproof LEDs.

Am doing this as well. New wiring, new halyards.
Picked up some Belden RG213 - good stuff - for VHF.
The 33-2 has plastic raceway inside the mast for cable routing, and space is a
bit limited. am thinking I'll wire for masthead and steaming/foredeck lights
and leave out the spreader light wiring.(I had posted a question awhile back
and was not surprised to learn that few use these) Looking at automation type
cabling for the lights - compact, flexible. (talking to Lapp - olfex for
those in the biz) but may just pull unjacketed conductors. chafe will not be
a concern in the raceway. can use a larger conductor this way in the same
space.
on the lights themselves - Have researched products available and marinebeam
looks like the best current option for the masthead and steaming lights. It
appears that the product must be bought at full price, online. Anyone know
otherwise?
Anything else I should consider? (Someone here posted awhile back mentioning
a windex light, which I could have used a few times last season.)
Debating whether to in install or provide for a N2k wind instrument while I am
at it. Thoughts?
Thanks as always,

Subject: Re: Stus-List Rewiring mast and anchor light...
I am not sure if you know, but Marinebeam came up with an interesting LED bulb
(and enclosure, if you want to) for the top of the mast. It is a combination
bulb that is all around white (for anchor light) or a tri-colour, segment light
(white/green/red). It is operated with one switch (first on, it is anchor
light, second on, it is a tri-colour, etc.). It works the same way as the
combination bulbs that you can have for the cabin lights that turn on white or
red. If you are sailing off-shore, it might be interesting. I don’t have a link
to a source where you could buy it, but here is a small write-up about it:

heavy plastic and zip ties daisy chained together. You can top it with a
small piece of wood and a rock or other weight. I'm rewiring my mast too.
