Where to buy

This is a portable LED navigation light kit from Attwood in a Real Tree Max-4 camo finish. It includes a red/green LED bow light and a white LED stern light, along with quick release mounts, a pole and hardware. The pole is a telescoping type with a C-clamp mount. The housing is sealed and shock-proof, and the lens is shatter-proof polycarbonate. Power comes from three AAA batteries, which are not included, and the maker quotes a run-time of more than 150 hours.

Our take

Running on three AAA cells for 150+ hours means this kit needs no boat wiring at all, and the C-clamp telescoping pole lets you set it up or strip it off in moments. That makes it a temporary, carry-aboard light set for small craft.

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.
