Deck floodlight - Masthead light S8504 white
Product corresponding to the request. Good manufacturing, material quality and construction. Good value for money. Some difficulties in assembly and in electrical connections. Resistance, functionality and duration to be evaluated over time.

Old school but easy to improve
This model has been on the market for ages. I like the combined design and it is easy to install. Unfortunately, there has not yet been an adaptation to LED.
Tip For the deck spotlight, there are now LED bulbs with H3 sockets in car accessories that provide more light with less power consumption. You can buy the cheap products there, as there are no special approvals for fog light auxiliary lamps on cars. There are LED alternatives for the steam light bulbs at SVB.

Economical version of the light, must be fitted with saltpeters.
The light is good, although it does not give the impression of living, but the same light lasted me 15 years on the boat. It rivets quite well, but the led needs to be fitted with lights. And replace the halogen which has a consumption of 50w with an LED light from Philips H3. Then you have a durable modern light at a reasonable price.

Mounted the unit on the mast, which went smoothly. The side straps are correspondingly flexible and could be easily adjusted to my mast. However, the cable bushings are only suitable for 0.75 mm² cables. Although these are sufficient for the current strength with a cable length of 6 m here, I would have liked to have used stronger cables. How long the clamp will keep the vape light sealed will come up.
The use of the deck heater is screwed, which promises better tightness.
The 55 W bulb of the deck spotlight is sufficient to illuminate the forecastle adequately from a height of around 6 m.

old style lamp. no led.
super simple design, thats good, but difficult to disassembly. flood lamp square style difficult to change to adequate LED because of shape. Really not using - to bulky.

Quality can be improved
I was forced to replace the original lamp with an identical model due to the breakage of all four brackets holding the lamp to the tree. The plastic of the brackets was practically cooked by the elements, mainly the sun, and I had the white version.
I should add that I was forced to modify the lamp to operate the two lights from a single three-wire electrical cable, the one coming out of the tree.
