This Lopolight is an LED masthead (steaming) light with a single lens, finished in silver with the cable leaving the back. It shows a white light over a 225 degree arc at 5 nautical miles and is certified for vessels from 20 m to 50 m. It is a 24V unit that mounts on vertical surfaces. The housing is waterproof to IP68+, and gaskets and bushings keep it galvanically isolated from the surface it is fixed to. The LED life is given as over 50,000 hours.
Our take
Certification for vessels from 20 m to 50 m and a 24V supply put this light on larger craft, not small boats. It mounts on vertical surfaces only, so the structure needs a face to take it, and the LED life of over 50,000 hours means little lamp changing.
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.
