The Attwood LightArmor is an LED all-round light on a 36 inch anodized aluminum pole. It is USCG certified with 2 nautical miles of visibility, for boats up to 39.4 ft (12 m). The head articulates, so it can be set for different mountings. It works across a 10.5V to 14.4V DC range, and Attwood quotes a life of over 50,000 hours.

Our take

The LightArmor's certification is 2 nautical miles for boats up to 39.4 ft, so on a longer boat it sits outside the rating. Within that size, the 50,000 hour stated life and articulating head on a 36 inch aluminum pole are what you get.

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.
