Shallowminded6 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 My anchor light got knocked off a while ago. Got my platform fixed, and lookin to replace the light. What light do you guys have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polliwog Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Mine is the original flip up or down type It is useful if you are poling,not to worry about hitting it . Basically works fine,but you have to remember to have it in up position if it is raining. the globe will let water in in the down position. They now may have one with a water tight globe. I'll check the name of the product tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polliwog Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Just remembered the light is a "Hella"brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim33042 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I had the same version of hella flip up,none of them lasted more than three years. I run often after sunset and the fold up style light created a problem with front deck glare with mounting position on side of platform. Last time looking for yet another replacement (after same light overloaded fuse and I had to drive home with no lights) I came across the sealed Naviled 360 with a flush mount and installed it in the location of a puck style gps antenna - I previously had a similar antenna there and was use to not stepping on it. With the far aft and starboard placement on the platform, the entire deck of my 18’ boat is inside the shadow of the platform. Having the 360 degree visibility safety factor and zero deck glare, made a happy outcome of my ‘let’s try it and see what happens’ purchase/ placement decision. The sealed unit also has a 5 year warranty. https://www.hellamarine.com/en/products/navigation-lamps/all-round-white-anchor/2-nm-naviled-360-compact-all-round-white-navigation-lamps.html this was a repost, edited a little - hope it helps. From your original pop up, hella now makes same as a sealed led unit, but the short version, in length to what you may have now, I wasn’t able to find for sale in US, maybe now it’s available. I’ve had this version for about 18 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polliwog Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Jim the new models look very good, when my current one craps out I will go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
