This is the Hella Series 2894 starboard navigation light in a black housing. It is rated for 2 nautical miles of visibility and for sail or power boats up to 65.6 ft. It is stated to meet USCG and ABYC A-16, as well as the IMO COLREG 1972 and RINA standards. The housing is non-magnetic and seawater-proof, and it snaps open without tools. A 12 volt bulb is included, and the replacement is a BAY 15d 12V/25W.

Our take

A 2 nautical mile rating and a 65.6 ft vessel limit define this Series 2894 light: it is a starboard sidelight for boats up to that length. The snap-type housing opens without tools, which makes the 12V/25W bulb easy to reach.

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.
