The Hella NaviLED C-5 is a starboard side navigation lamp with a clear lens and a black finish. It has a 2 NM minimum visible distance and runs on 9-33V DC. Each lamp is fully sealed with IP 67 certification. It can be had pre-wired with marine cable, is compliant with ABYC C-5, and carries approvals including IMO Col Reg 72, RINA, USCG, ABYC A-16 and Maritime NZ.

Our take

This starboard NaviLED is available pre-wired with marine cable, which Hella says gives a completely sealed installation. It also lists ABYC C-5 compliance and USCG approval among its approvals.

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.
