The NaviLED PRO is a stern light from Hella Marine with a black shroud and an LED source. It is rated for a visible distance of 2 nautical miles on yachts and powerboats, and the maker says it covers vessels up to 50 m. The housing is high-impact, UV-resistant acrylic, and the unit is sealed to IP67. It comes with 2.5 m of tinned marine cable and weighs 250 g with the cable. Spike protection reaches +500 volts, with reverse polarity protection to -500 volts.

Our take

The IP67 rating tells you the housing is completely sealed, which is what you want on a lamp bolted where spray and sun reach it. With a 2 nautical mile visible distance, it is a stern light for yachts and powerboats, and the 2.5 m cable gives some room to route the wiring.

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.
