Where to buy

This is a portable navigation light kit from Attwood. It includes a red/green LED bow light and a white LED stern light, along with quick release mounts, a pole and the hardware to fit them. The lights run on 3 AAA batteries, bought separately, with over 150 hours of run time. The electronics are sealed in a shock-proof housing behind a shatter-proof polycarbonate lens, and a C-clamp mount lets you fit or remove the lights quickly.

Our take

The C-clamp mounts and AAA power make this a no-wiring kit: clamp it on, switch it on, and take it off when you're done. Over 150 hours from 3 AAA cells is a lot of running, but the batteries are not included, so carry spares.

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.
