Electrical
Where Credit Is Due: May 2013
Two years ago, I replaced my incandescent stern light with a “waterproof,” sealed LED unit from OGM (www.miseagroup.com). This winter, while the boat was on the hard, I noticed that the seal had failed and drops of water fogged the lens. Although the LED continued to work, I was concerned that the moisture would reduce the visibility, or that the light would fail when I needed it most.
