LED Lights - UPDATE

Darn! Last night when I turned on the LED anchor/cockpit light I couldn't tell if it was on as there wasn't any noticeable difference in the amount of light outside.

Upon going out and looking at the unit, it appeared that some of the LED were very dim and others might not be working at all. This is after using the light for one week. We are VERY DISAPPOINTED.

We installed a similar LED light cluster last week to replace the tricolor light at the masthead. I hope that's not going to fizzle out on us as well. The lamp is hardwired (never needs replacing!) in the light and with the modifications we had to make, we cannot just install the old bulb.

We will look at the anchor light to see what we can see, and then we will contact bebi-electronics.com to see what they offer as a solution. We'll keep you informed.

So, for now, buyer beware!
