This is Attwood's LightArmor LED all-around light with an articulating head and a folding pole, 20 in long with a black vertical mount. It shows 360° and is rated for 2 mile visibility. The pole is anodized aluminum on a composite black base, and a rail mount adaptor is included. The stated operating range is 10.5V to 14.4V dc.

Our take

The folding, articulating head gives this 20 in pole light a 360° all-round beam with 2 mile visibility, as Attwood states it. Its stated operating range is 10.5V to 14.4V dc, so check that your supply stays inside that band.

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.
