Anybody use the Davis Megalight?

Yes, for several years now.

Anyone having problems with it?

Nothing other than a burned out bulb.

It's a neat enough gadget,. though at $40 os so pretty damned pricey. A
tiny bulb inside a fresnel lens that draws only 0.13 amps and
automatically turns itself on and off at dusk and dawn. Perfect for an
anchor light.

That's what it is intended for.

However, it is as fragile as a Christmad tree ornament. We have gone
through five bulbs this season alone. It seesm that just waving in the
wind is enough to break the bulb filament. Anyone else having this
problem?

Have only burned out one bulb in 4 years. One of those years was full-time
cruising. I suspect they might be coming out with an LED version soon.
That's
the best way to go. We hang ours from the middle of the boom so it won't
bash on anything.
