Default This is a darned good anchor light.

If you need a good, legal (two-mile vis) anchor light you can't go wrong with
this one.

Defender seems to have the best price around for this item.


Not a very efficient light, is it. One bulb draws .11 amps and a
second draws .33 amps but only produces "about twice" the light (for
three times the power).

There are better lights available.

.....after looking on the web I'll revise that statement as I see West
marine is selling LED light bulbs for $52.99. Amazing really, given
that I can buy, in Bangkok, LED bulbs of equal power, but not with the
indexed nav light base, for about $10 U.S.
