Anybody bought a DHR trawler lamp recently? I have gone through three (within one week) and all leak oil. Seems to leak from the flange that holds the lamp in the housing. I used these years ago and really liked them.

not sure if it's soldered or extruded. But, if I pay $300 for a lamp, I'm not going to try to get it "redone"......

EXACT same situation for us, they seemed to have pinholes that we could not see but leaked enough leave a large spot on the rug below and we went through wicks really fast. Finally had West Marine reorder ours for us and this latest one seems ok.
This is not real recent, probably 2007 or 8? Very frustrating.
