The Attwood 5358-P12-7 is a 12 inch black light giving 2-mile, 360 degree illumination for boats up to 39.4 ft (12 m). It has an articulating head and a cam-lock that can be worked with one hand. The anti-glare design is meant to protect night vision. It runs on 10.5 to 14.4 VDC, and it is packaged with a rail mount adapter.

Our take

The single-handed cam-lock on this Attwood light means you can set it up with one hand while holding on with the other. The anti-glare design is meant to protect your night vision, and it is rated for boats up to 39.4 ft (12 m).

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.
