Where to buy

Specifications

Rated vessel length
Up to 39.4 ft (12 meters)

This is Attwood's one-mile Pulsar bi-color stowaway light, mounted on a pole. It shows red and green over 225 degrees and is rated for boats up to 39.4 ft (12 meters). An 8-watt wedge base lamp is included. The pole has a 2-pin locking collar, so it goes with a wide variety of Attwood 2-pin bases and is said to serve as a replacement in Perko bases. It comes in straight or angled pole versions.

Our take

The 2-pin locking collar pole is the useful part: the maker says it suits a wide variety of Attwood 2-pin bases and Perko bases too, so it may drop into a base you already have. Check the maker's base list first, and keep the 39.4 ft (12 meter) rating in mind.

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.
