This is one of the five new lights. If it weren't for the mark left from the old teak pad, it would look like these lights were built for the boat. Fortunately, in removing the teak pads, we learned that we may be able to remove this popcorn finish on the cabin top as easily as wallpaper--we just need to have it tested first to be sure it isn't asbestos.

Lighting a boat isn’t like lighting a home, the needs are different.
