This Lumitec starboard navigation light has a brushed marine-grade aluminum housing and shows green. It is made for vertical mounting, such as a pilothouse, cabin side, arch or hardtop support, and comes with a gasket and stainless hardware. It is rated IP67 and uses a 2-wire hookup, drawing 34 mA at 12V. The visibility rating is 2 nautical miles on vessels up to 165 ft (50 m).

Our take

A vertical-mount aluminum housing puts this starboard light on cabin sides, pilothouses and hardtop supports rather than flat decks, and it draws only 34 mA at 12V. It is rated for 2 nautical miles on vessels up to 165 ft (50 m).

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.
