This is the Hella Model 3562 port navigation light, a side-mounted lamp in a black housing with 1 NM visibility. The 3562 series is aimed at yachts and powerboats. The snap lock housing lets you change the bulb without tools. Approvals listed for the series are IMO Col Reg 72, RINA, USCG, ABYC A-16 and Maritime NZ.
Our take
The snap lock housing lets you change a bulb in this port light without tools, which helps when it fails at the dock or underway. Its 1 NM visibility is the figure to check against what your boat needs to show.
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.
