This is the red LightArmor oval navigation light from Attwood, a vertical surface-mount LED unit. It is rated for 2 nautical miles and for boats up to 65 ft (20 m). The LED light engine runs 50,000+ hours and stays cool to the touch. Water resistance is IP rating 67, and the colour-indicated cores make wiring easier. It is built to meet global regulatory requirements, including EN/ISO 19009:2015.

Our take

A 2 nautical mile rating with a 65 ft (20 m) boat limit defines the scope of this red light. The LED engine rated for 50,000+ hours and the IP rating 67 water resistance point to low upkeep, and the colour-indicated cores keep the wiring straight.

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.
