Clever design
Easy to mount. Light sources are a single-point LEDs (tricolour) so performance is badly affected by even small obstructions (like windvanes) near the lens. Removable light unit is a good idea but also the unit\'s weakness. The connection to base is via 4 pins. After two seasons electrical connection has become unreliable.

Compared to similar products, the price is right. The compactness is great, and the brightness is very high. However, it would be nice if the connections were directly on the device and could be sealed watertight. So, you have to think about something for a 50 cm long cable.

Small energy efficient navigation lights with a premium price
This product works and looks pretty nice.

Unfortunately the company saves money on the electrical wires they chose.

They use very thin wires which are therefore super hard to crimp and to my disappointment they are not even tint and are therefore prone to corrosion which is absolutely unnecessary for the price. Especially as these wires will sit in a possibly wet area at the bow of the boat.

Also in my case the wire is not long enough to run all the way through the pull-pit and for the crimp to sit in an area where no moisture comes through.

I now managed to fix the broken and corroded wire by removing half of it as it was corroded and solder a new connection which is sitting in the pull-pit (where salt water can get in when sailing). This is not ideal but I can at least keep on using these beautiful but expensive navigation lights.

The lamp and base holder were loose in the packaging. As it turned out, the latching did not fit properly because the seal applied too much. The parts could only be joined after mechanical processing. The manufacturing quality and quality testing doesn't seem to be the best.

Bayonet lock does not work
When I received it, I could not close the bayonet lock between the glass and the base. O-ring is too hard and cannot be deformed. As a result, the bayonet catch cannot engage. If the pressure is too high, the housing would shatter. I have had a ticket open at SVB regarding the problem for 3 weeks. Unfortunately SVB does not answer. Would advise against the anchor lantern
