This Attwood LED all-round navigation light sits on a 12 inch aluminum pole and folds down on its base. It shines through 360 degrees and is quoted at 2 nautical miles of visibility, for boats up to 39.4 ft (12 m). It runs on 10.5V to 14.4V DC and is described as USCG certified. The light is quoted at over 50,000 hours of life, and a pole and rail mount adaptor is included.
Our take
The 2 nautical mile range and 360 degree angle of visibility are the figures to check against your boat, since the maker quotes this light for boats up to 39.4 ft (12 m). The fold-down base lets the 12 inch pole be laid down when the light is not in use.
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.
