The dad who cuts the evening bite short because he does not fully trust the stern light to get him back to the ramp legally after dark
What it is
Hella NaviLED white stern navigation lamp (Hella part 2LT980520511), sealed LED unit, Whitworths catalogue number 53146.
Why we picked it
A stern light is what decides whether he can legally still be out after sunset, and on most older boats it is still an incandescent bulb whose filament hates the pounding and fails on the run home. Swapping to a sealed LED unit means he stops carrying a spare bulb and a torch as his backup plan.
