And I take it these are too large



because I have a pair, and could probably make you a great Christmas offer on one of them Craig  ;)

You know Tim, I had looked at these... and they seemed so much bigger but they are almost the exact same height.

Even at the (best yet, thanks for finding it) price of $250, those Sorrensens are pretty spendy for me.

Let me know if you do indeed decide to part with one Tim.

Did you have them on your Ariel?  How do they work out size wise mounted in the bulkhead on the stbd side>?

THanks!

Here is a shot from the PO set-up



they do take up a fair amount of space, if I was to use them at all it would likely to be just one.

Oh yea, that ought to work out fine then...  ;D

... I have the original cabinets, but it looks like it will fit nicely on the port side....

Looks like the 'smoke bell' will be needed since it will be rather close to the overhead..

You know, even for the premium price that Sorensen lamp does not even come with a smoke bell>?

You would think that at that price it would.....

Thanks Tim,

  What  a great place this is... a reflection of the great people who are drawn here.

You, my friends... are a gift to me.  I am very thankful for you all.

Blessings upon each and every one of you, may 'short be the time' until I should have the opportunity to toast you as we sit in a cockpit somewhere 'out there'.

Aye to that!  Merry Xmas to all.  FYI, to the thrifty, patient ones that good price was because that item happened to be on special at Hamilton Marine.  It seems like the put everything on 30%+ off at some time or another and I've gotten some wicked good deals just by watching and waiting.  Also, there are a cheaper, smaller varieties of lamps there should anyone be looking.  Seems they're all on sale right now.  I'd love one of those anchor lights myself, but too many other boat items to buy this winter...

Got the lamp today Tim, thank you I think it is going to work out very nicely.

Fair Winds, and a Merry Christmas to all!

Tim,

  I installed the lamp yesterday, it is wonderful!  Thanks man!

I put a 8" mirror behind it to reflect some of the light.  I went for a sail yesterday, came back in after dark and the cabin was so warm and cozy that I sat below for a long time.

Thanks man, what a wonderful gift!
