Had to wait a long time until Hella finally brought out the Tri-Color LED with anchor light. Already in 2005 I had replaced the conventional Aquasignal 50 on port, starboard and stern by the recently released in New Zealand NaviLEDs Hella. They are made in New Zealand and came there first on the market. At that time there was still a great introductory price. The conventional lamps were always extremely unreliable, were always full of water, had Korossionsprobleme and always burned down in vibration in the sea. That was all a thing of the past with the Hella LED lamps, which are bright, easily visible and just always go. At that time there was no steamer light and no tricolor lantern, so they remained conventional. As an anchor light we had anyway a prehisierbare LED lantern, and the steamer light you have anyway only under machine, because then the power consumption hardly plays a role. Also, the farther away from the wet element worked reasonably reliably. The three-color lantern was the power consumption rather a small problem as it was many nights on long distances always on and that's where you would have wished the LEDs. But as I said the priority was first reliability and only then the consumption. Now it was also with the reliability of the conventional three-color lamp increasingly a problem: Also up in 21m height there was corrosion and the plastic had gotten so much UV, he was very brittle and socket and housing had to be glued several times. Although AquaSignal has had a LED three-color lantern for a little while, and even a compatible Quick-Out socket, it was more of a problem. So Hella has just launched in time for me, this new three-color lantern on the market. Of course, we have not had much experience with it, but it is just as sealed as the other lamps, it seems safe and easy to assemble. As far as the light output is concerned, I can not say that yet, but if that is just as good as the other NaviLeds, then it will certainly go as far as the conventional lantern. Interestingly, Hella has also used different technic for the different sectors. Red and green are each formed by strong single LEDs with reflector, the white eighth sector is achieved by two vertical stripes with 4 LEDs each and boundary plates. For the anchor light 12 times 2 LEDs are arranged in a ring shape, rather similar to Lobolight. Critical was often a lesser possible heel angle in LED lanterns. As far as that is concerned, I measured the beam angle and am pleasantly surprised. Red and green: +/- 27.5 degrees very sharply demarcated, very evenly lit. White sector: +/- 28 degrees somewhat blurred demarcation Anchor light: +/- 10 degrees slightly blotchy light All in all, a good impression, and the price is acceptable.
