Default Pop Up Bow Light Recommendation

I have had terrible luck with the Aqua Signal light.

http://www.jamestowndistributors.com...vigation+Light


My experience is the same as the first review (i did not write it). In the salt, you get maybe a year out of it.


Can anyone recommend a very high quality pop up bow light that will survive in harsh salt water environment? We do alot of ocean running.

At this point, price doesn't even matter i just want something that will work and continue to work for more than a year.

-Mike

Capt Chuck is right on.

The ACCON LED bow light on my boat is very high quality, sturdy as all get out, and looks/functions like new after a year of constant salt exposure. You truly get what you pay for.

Not familiar with the Accon LED, but have had the old model on my boat for years, awesome product, glad to see they came out with an LED in the same foot print.
Thing looks like an "Iron Man" mask, pretty cool.

I got mine on Ebay and it was a little less money than dealing direct. AWESOME product, 100% quality.
