Anchor Light on Power Pole

[DREWTICK]

Looking for options for installing nav/anchor lights on a power pole blade ?

[JD#5]

I have been looking and have a few ideas. There is nothing mass produced out there. The only negative thing I can see is that if the pole is down you wouldn't see the light. Wouldn't matter to me because I wouldn't have the pole down in any scenario where the light is necessary.

I have seen the 3 different ways, like the bolt lights in the top holes the best but have issues with the rear because of the knuckle

I WAS GOING TO INSTALL A SMALL ANCHOR LIGHT ON MINE AT THE TOP{THEY HAVE A SMALL 4IN. LIGHT ON AMAZON}…MAKING A ADAPTOR TO FIT INTO THE BOLTS AT THE TOP OFF EITHER SIDE OF THE POLE…MY ONLY CONCERN IS SOMETIMES I WILL BE POWER POLE DOWN SITTING AT THE DOCK OR WAITING FOR IT TO GET LIGHT AT A TX. I WILL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. I HATE TAKING THAT LIGHT OUT AND HAVING TO PUT IT AWAY EACH TIME I HAVE A TX EARLY MORNINGS...

Thinking of this myself, what about a led light at mounted at the top? And well maybe some Red or Blue inside the blade for some bling...

Great idea Drewtick. Where did you find those lights? How did you route the wires?

Thanks.

I will get pics of the wiring today, but to keep from drilling any holes I made a backing plate to screw into besides the 3m adhesive

Very nice. I don't have the Blade series, but I have another idea on how to mount without drilling. Where did you purchase the lights? I tried looking for them online, but I'm coming up with nothing.

Thank you very much for the pictures.

How did you run the wiring to keep it out of he way and still give you the play when the poles are extended?

Still experimenting, I ran them down at least 100 times last weekend, no problem so far but when all the way down in 10 ft they wanted to pull from inside but so did the PP lines

Those all look sharp. I think thats a cool idea with the anchor light on top.

I was thinking about a coil cord like that of a cell phone charger. I am going to do this soon.
