The Attwood LightArmor is an LED all-round light on a 36 inch pole that plugs into a LightArmor base. It shows 360 degrees and is rated visible for 2 nautical miles. The light head tilts 15 degrees fore and aft. It is rated for vessels up to 39.4 ft (12 m) and runs on 10.5 to 14.4 V DC. The maker quotes over 50,000 hours of life and lists U.S.C.G. certification. It is sold as a single light.
Our take
This is a 2 NM all-round light on a 36 inch flexible, impact-resistant pole, so it can brush through low branches without breaking. It plugs into a LightArmor base, and it is rated only for vessels up to 39.4 ft, which is the limit to check first.
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.
