15 LED Ultrabright MARINE Anchor & Masthead Light |

 |
Developing an effective, ocean-proof, inexpensive, all-round LED anchor light, which could also be mass-produced, posed a challenge to Bebi Electronics. |
| 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 a more recent development, and after input from various sailing a cruising bulletin boards, we are now offering the Lulu Kaukaua with 5 meters of tinned cable as a removable LED anchor light, perfect for trailer boats. |
 |
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 Owl is drilled to accept a screw eye (the Lulu Kaukaua is not drilled, it is intended to be hung from the 5 meter cable). 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 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 a boat on a dark night in the home of Bebi Electronics, beautiful Fawn Harbor on the island of Vanua Levu in the Fiji Islands! | |
| Chris Blain, aboard the Alberg 35 , a Baja cruising veteran, shared with us this photo of an Owl LED anchor light that he installed on his Alberg 35 S/V 'Mal De Terre' |
 |
|
As a consequence, we feel confident in stating that you will be completely satisfied with our Owl 360° Anchor Light. |

* In this application, 'Lulu' is not a state of mind. In the Fijian, Tongan, or Samoan languages, it is the word for Owl, the well known nocturnal avian hunter. Kaukaua literally means 'strong'. In this usage however, it has the same meaning as 'jumbo economy size' would to a Madison Avenue copywriter.
