Lasizas Stern Light

[SteveIOW]

Have just purchased this low profile LED stern navigation light. Fitting instructions do not state the orientation, ie should the fixing screws be side by side or one above the other. Pretty sure only one way will give the required 135 degree horizontal beam.
Anyone know which way it should be fitted please?

I guess the fresnel lens should be vertical? Try powering it up?

Ours is vertical.

It’d have to be vertical to make the correct angle.
Check the manual thoroughly as many LED fittings start blinking after a couple of years to indicate end of life and required replacement. This is intentional.

ITYWF that the fixing screws should be top and bottom so that the elements of the Fresnel lens are horizontal to concentrate the light beam into a wide horizontal beam with little light escaping skywards or towards the water.
I'm a bit doubtful about it having good cut off angles at 135° but maybe it'll be ok.

The metal is the cut off, either side of the lenses which are recessed. The light is flat so the lenses are there to scatter light sideways and therefore need to be vertical.

Hmm, searching for a manual it seems it might be a light for sterns, rather than a stern light.
