This is the Attwood LightArmor LED all-round navigation light on an anodized aluminum pole, in the 60 inch length. It is USCG certified, with 2 NM visibility for boats up to 39.4 ft (12 m). The head articulates so the light can be set for different applications, and a locking collar holds it on the pole. It runs on 10.5V to 14.4V DC and has a rated life of over 50,000 hours.

Our take

The articulating head on this 60 inch pole light lets it be set up for any application, and the locking collar holds the light on the pole. It is rated for 2 NM on boats up to 39.4 ft (12 m), so check your boat's length against that.

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.
