The lamps on Marine Beam and Super Bright LED do not look like they will fit the fixture. ?

What have people used??

Since you mentioned Marine Beam, I’ll chime in on some recent experiences. Several weeks ago I emailed MarineBeam about outfitting a boat with new LED lights, it would have been a substantial purchase, they never responded. Recently I have heard other stories of their unresponsiveness and a decline i product quality.?

If anyone has an idea about what is going on with MarineBeam, I’d love to hear it.

Last year I asked our rigger to install the Marine Beam LED deck light and a masthead tricolor/anchor light (with built-in solar switch) - might as well since the original standing rigging and some old running rigging was being replaced. The deck light works well; the mast head light however was not installed correctly, and I’ll have to hire someone to fix it this fall. I was able to talk to the Rep at the Annapolis show for guidance how to correct it - they were very responsive when I showed him the photos. For now, it is a glorified anchor light. The rigger was suspicious of the low price (versus $600 for a W&P fixture) and did not think much of it. Others on this forum has had good luck with them.

Fingers crossed.
