Thanks everyone for your comments and advice. I'm thinking this the way the light is suppose to be (no lens) I probably will put some kind of sealant around the base of bulb to keep out the moisture. I'm also putting on all new standing rigging (CD) which came UPS today. I don't know if you remember but my boat had swing keel problems back in April (keel lifting cable broke and keel swung down with such force that it punched a hole in the trunk, almost sinking the boat in the slip) All has been repaired and looks really strong with several layers of matt as well as kevlar fiberglass. I will try to get all the pictures of the process posted later. Also ordered the gasket repair kit for the windows form CD. Hopefully I can get all this done in time for some great fall/winter sailing here in eastern North Carolina. Thanks again for everyones input.

Trust the fixture the way it ships, do not try to seal the bulb in order to improve on the 47,362nd steaming light sold.

I took this photo with my camera zoom. What do you make of it. It looks like a lens with a hole cut in it to let the bulb stick out partially ( probably due to the excess heat). If it were the reflector, then wouldn't you see the whole bulb outside the reflector ?

The long lens compresses the depth perception. Looks like a bulb with a reflector around it to me, but then there are few depth cues. Hard to say how far in or out the bulb is.

Larry,

You are correct, the reflector has a hole in it and the bulb sticks out approx. halfway.

Okay - I guess it is the reflector and bulb sticking half way out.
