This is Lopolight's 301-001 starboard sidelight in green, with a black anodized aluminum housing and a vertical mount. It is a single LED light with a 2 NM visibility figure and is rated for vessels up to 164 ft (50 m). It has an IP68 rating, runs on 10 to 32 VDC, and comes with a 6 m cable already attached, along with mounting hardware and an installation guide.

Our take

The IP68 rating and anodized aluminum housing are what protect a light that lives outdoors, and 2 NM is the range this single green LED is listed for. The 10 to 32 VDC input gives a wide window for the supply voltage.

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.
