Stumbled across these. Might be an interesting alternative for temporary cockpit or cabin lighting.

Nice. I've got one, hang it from the boom for cockpit illumination at night. Lots of light for little money.

Nice find. I purchased two 8 LED white versions (no red) for Passage and kept one in the cabin and another hanging from the boom. Great at night in dark locales. Last summer my anchor light quit so I hoisted them both up the main halyard as an anchor light. Worked great.
Sadly at the end of this season however the cold cracked the plastic and a rain wetted the inside and ruined one of them. I’ll probably buy another one next season since they work so well. They can be had at boat shows pretty inexpensively.

I’ve had a couple for years. They work better than the cabin lights and save your battery. Also great at home for power outages. We hang one on the flashing mode in the cockpit when going out for dinner in a crowded anchorage and then we can find the boat easily when we return in the dark.
