FWIW, I believe the conduit size in our mast is 1" ID. I pulled all new 16gage wires in when I replaced the lights with LED style. Windex (2 wires) Tricolor (2 wires) Steaming/deck light combo (3 wires) VHF cable Removed the wind instrument cable because I have TickTick wireless. Pulled in a better VHF cable, which turned out thinner than the 1989 one. There is room for another cable for TV or WiFi booster or FLIR or something, but I prefer to keep the rig light.
Marinebeam.com has some reasonably priced fixtures. I got their two wire masttop Tricolor/anchor/strobe light. https://store.marinebeam.com/smart-led-tri-color-anchor-light-and-strobe/ My only regret is I didn't pull in a pull string for future.
