The Lopolight 301-006-B is an LED stern light with a 135° white beam and 2 nautical mile visibility. It mounts on vertical surfaces and is certified for vessels less than 50 m (164 ft) long. The light is waterproof to IP 68+ and rated for approximately 50,000 hours. It comes pre-wired with 8.2 ft (2.5 m) of cable, holds full brightness from 10 to 32 volts, and complies with COLREG72, EN14744, IEC 60945 and USCG (UL1104).

Our take

Its 2 nautical mile, 135° white beam is backed by electronics that hold full brightness from 10 to 32 volts, so a sagging battery doesn't dim it below rated output. The 50,000 hour LED rating also means there is no bulb to change.

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.
