AquaSignal Anchor light question

[DougM]

I just received a new AquaSignal SW34 anchor light to install on my new mast. It arrived as 2 Parts, base and lens with potted LED. So before I install it on the mast I want to figure out how it goes together. Dumb Move!. Turns out its a twist lock that clicks shut. Now I cannot get the thing apart to attach the base to the masthead. That leads to another question, and that is how is it supposed to be replaced if damaged or birned out?
Anyway the immediate issue is how to get it apart again without damage so that it can be installed. I cannot manually get enoung leverage to push down and twist. Any ideas as to a solution?

Probably get the best and quickest answer by calling Aqua signal direct.

I suspect the 34 is similar to the Series 40. It uses a polycarbonate (plastic) housing that snaps/twists apart. Small tabs on the upper section clip into the several small holes around the base.
Check out WM or Defender, they show the 34 series design and the clip holes in the base as small rectangular holes.
