| A good chandlery may be able to special order what you need from one of
the main-line suppliers. Here in Seattle, Doc Freeman's and Crow's Nest
allow customers to freely examine the suppliers catalogs and will order
any item that they do not normally carry. As I recall, Perko used to
have a line of oil running lights, but they may not have been brass.
Aqua Signal would be another possibility.

| 2242.2 | Found them... | PCBUOA::MOORET | | Thu Nov 16 1995 12:55 | 15 |
| Hi one and all, well I tracked down who makes the running lights in
question ...Wilcox and Crittenden, there located in Connecticut. I
called and have a catolog comming if anyones is interested. The lights
I'm looking for are tear shaped heavy brass that turn green with age.
Their well made (I have the stern and mast head light bought about 30
plus years ago (never used)) thats where I got the address ... from the
box.
So if anyone is interested in the catolog just drop me a note...
Cheers,
Tom

| 2242.3 | Oil Anchor Lamps | NWD002::RADKE_HO | | Wed Nov 22 1995 00:12 | 6 |
| When the catalogs arrive could you check for oil anchor lights? We are
interested in buying a good one (Coast Guard approved if possible) with
a fresnel lens. I have seen the Den Haan lamps carried by West Marine,
but these do not look practical, and they are expensive.

Worth looking for a practical oil lamp.
I have the Den Haan light from West Marine.
Not easy to use as an anchor light - unless you get up
often to check it, which for me defeats the whole purpose of
having the anchor light which is to eliminate worry
and attain relaxed sleep!
I has been blown out in strong wind!
It has covered the rear of the boat with soot!
It has leaked!
The top opens and if the light is roughly treated
it can open itself!
If you find something really practical, please let us know.
Mike
