Really neat, no exppensive batteries, just a single C cell. Velco
arm band, the kind of equipment you could afford to offer each crew
member while on watch..

However! What I can't figure out is; Why Oh Why would they put a
strong circular magnetic in the base. That is the last thing I
would want to have laying about the cockpit or even any random
storage location about the boat. Something like this could drive a
navigator crazy if not run the boat aground, due to compass error.

I'm willing to take the magnets off the lights but the appear to be
epoxied into a recess in the light housing..

Anyone have any ideas on how to remove these magnetic discs without
distroying the water tight unit???

Are they magnets for sure, or just weights that allow the lights to float
upright?
