The Hella NaviLED 360 is a fixed all-round LED navigation light on a black 6 inch pedestal, visible for 2 nautical miles on yachts and powerboats. It is sealed to IP67 and has an enhanced impact acrylic lens that resists UV. It runs on 9-33V DC, with spike protection to +500 volts and reverse polarity protection to -500 volts. Listed approvals include IMO Col Reg 72, Wheelmark, USCG, ABYC A-16, RCD and Maritime NZ.

Our take

The 9-33V DC range on this 2 nautical mile all-round light covers a wide spread of supply voltages, and protection against spikes to +500 volts adds to that. The IP67 seal keeps water out of the lamp itself.

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.
