Namu*

Ultrabright 14 LED Marine
24 Volt Anchor/Masthead Light



Yes, even boats with 24 volt systems need low current draw LED lights, especially LED anchor lights. Even if fuel costs weren't rapidly rising, every hour not spent listening to a generator grinding away in a quiet anchorage, is savings enough.

After experimenting with a number of materials, we hit upon the concept of using a 25mm UPVC end cap as a form and final cover for the LED assembly. In fact, the very first light that we built from this material was a 24 volt model.

Due to the everyday, commonplace nature of UPVC, it is a material that is often overlooked. In actuality, it has some incredible physical characteristics, which accounts for it's use throughout the boating industry. We chose to machine the cap to our purposes, as opposed to injection molding, due to a cost benefit analysis of the cost of the mold over the expected sales life of the product.

As a nice side benefit, the light can be easily and neatly mounted to a 25mm (1") PVC pipe for a mast.

The top of the light is drilled to accept a screw eye. As of 20 February 2007, we have finally found a source for a quality, stainless steel, eyescrew (screw eye) to suspend the light with, and it is included in our prices. As always, our prices are also inclusive of Fast Post Shipping ('Priority Air Mail' to Americans) world-wide, with a flat US$5.00 per order to cover processing the order.

Electrically, we use an integral linear current regulator to provide maximum light intensity without negatively impacting the life of the LED's. We have had a 12 volt version of our LED anchor light on 'Shangri-La' in continuous test for over 18 months without any sign of deterioration or discoloration in the lenses. It has been repeatedly subject to system voltages greater than 15 volts and as low as 11.5. The light has been subjected to tropical storms and the harsh radiation of the tropical sun.

We have beat on test lights with a 16-ounce (453.59237 gram) hammer and the only way we can get it to break is to deliver a slanting blow onto the electrical components themselves. We have put the lights into fires. We have submerged the lights to 1 atmosphere (32 feet) for 12 hours. We have even put test units into a furnace (see for yourself here).

We have even used the light to find our boat on a dark night in Fawn Harbor!

As a consequence, we feel confident in stating that you will be completely satisfied with our Namu 360° Anchor Light.

    * The word 'Namu' is Fijian for mosquito, another nocturnal fixture of the Islands.  Colloquially, it is also used to describe a freeloader.  Our original product name was 'Politician', since they fly at night, but we had to drop it because they are not well know for their vision!
