Drummer Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Well, my anchor light bit the dust again. It's the standard popup incandescent type. Hella, I think. Does anybody have a better solution, preferably LED? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim33042 Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 1.91 MB · 0 downloads I had the same version of hella flip up,none of them lasted more than three years. I run often after sunset and the fold up style light created a problem with front deck glare with mounting position on side of platform. Last time looking for yet another replacement (after same light overloaded fuse and I had to drive home with no lights) I came across the sealed Naviled 360 with a flush mount and installed it in the location of a puck style gps antenna - I previously had a similar antenna there and was use to not stepping on it. With the far aft and starboard placement on the platform, the entire deck of my 18’ boat is inside the shadow of the platform. Having the 360 degree visibility safety factor and zero deck glare, made a happy outcome of my ‘let’s try it and see what happens’ purchase/ placement decision. The sealed unit also has a 5 year warranty. https://www.hellamarine.com/en/products/navigation-lamps/all-round-white-anchor/2-nm-naviled-360-compact-all-round-white-navigation-lamps.html this was a repost, edited a little - hope it helps. From your original pop up, hella now makes same as a sealed led unit, but the short version, in length to what you may have now, I wasn’t able to find for sale in US, maybe now it’s available. I’ve had this version for about 18 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 The hella light is good, it just needs to be kept in the down position. And there is a replacement led bulb for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fin-addict Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hella fold down, mine came with boat, 2003. Always keep it up with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brew1891 Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 On the fold down Hella lights...always keep them folded down when not in use and drill a tiny hole in the top for water to escape. Will last a long time that way. But the puck style does look like a good alternative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
