The Velleman flashes too fast (approx. 2x/sec.). How much will a 6v lantern battery slow it down?
Anyway that's good to know - maybe I'll install it now while the mast is laying on Svend's mast dock. Anybody know of a reason I can't just epoxy the plastic base of the strobe right onto the metal top of the OGM light? I understand the LED tricolors don't get hot, so other than probably voiding the OGM warranty (it's new) can you think of any issues?
