Michael at Bebi in Fiji writes:
“As with all of Bebi products, every Beka Marine and Off Grid Anchor and Cockpit LED light undergoes rigorous testing including a burn in period under a varying voltage levels. This final test and our conservative, but innovative, design makes us feel confident to offer a limited LIFETIME WARRANTY (our lifetime, not the product’s sales life!).
“Unlike the cheap rubbish produced for the automotive market with a ‘marine’ label attached, the Beka, like all of our marine LED lights, is designed from the ground up for a lifetime of use in the harsh marine environment.
“Using a UPVC shell, our marine LED lights will withstand the direct tropical sunlight on your yacht for years. It is fully sealed to ensure a long life through even the worst of a typical Fijian ’carwash’ rain squall. We even warrantee our light to a depth of 1 meter for 1 hour (it’s actually better than that, but if your cockpit is more than a meter underwater for an hour, you likely have more worries than an anchor light)!
“Electrically, the Beka anchor and cockpit light has an integral current regulator to ensure full output while maintaining a long life during the voltage ups and downs of the battery charging cycle. Also available with custom cord length, no cord, or no cigarette plug (for less $).
Available with photo sensor to turn it on and off automatically, and with warm white lights shining downward, for use at a cockpit table (for a litle more $).
$39.00 to $59.00 (depending on options)
