[C38] Deck and Steaming Light

[Larry Malmberg]

I saw a fixture that goes around the light to protect it but it was almost
the same cost as the expensive light.  Anyone know of a reasonable fixture
that protects the deck and steaming light?

I am on my third light.   First two were the expensive.  Third was a cheap
import that has lasted just as long as the others.   The plastic needs to be
flexible to conform to the mast, but that seems to allow it to become
brittle in sun and seas.  I think my spinnaker halyards are the culprit.

We were pounding to weather last year and our deck light was half way torn
off, it still works but will fix it this year. Not really sure how it
happened may have been hit by the jib on a tack?

We had noticed that our deck and steaming light as well as the anchor light
were not working.  Thought it was a loose wire at the bottom of the mast as
we checked and there was power going up to from the terminal strip near the
holding tank.  Closer inspection showed that the Forespar Deck and Steaming
light fixture has taken some kind of impact and is broken.  Anyone have this
experience??  I found a new one fairly cheap but also noted a AAA Masthead
fixture really cheap, anyone have any experience with AAA Masthead fixtures?
