A deck mount bi-color side light from Attwood with a red and green optic. It has a 225 degree angle of visibility and 1 nautical mile of visibility, and the maker recommends it for boats up to 39.4 ft (12 m). It runs on 12 V DC with a 9 W lamp. A bayonet lock holds the lens and cover to the base, and a notch in the base gives the wire leads a way through.
Our take
The 225 degree red and green optic gives a visibility of 1 nautical mile from one deck-mounted fitting. The maker's recommendation stops at boats up to 39.4 ft (12 m). The bayonet lock holding lens and cover to the base is a simple way to keep it together.
From our buying guide
The lights a boat must show depend on its length and how it's being driven. A sailboat under power is a power-driven vessel and shows power-driven lights.
Check before you buy:
- The label gives its visibility in nautical miles, and that range meets the minimum for your boat's length.
- The maker rates it for boats of your length.
- A replacement LED is certified with the fixture it's going into, since the Coast Guard warns that replacement lighting may not meet the rules.
