The Lumitec Contour is a 24 inch LED anchor light on a 2.5 inch diameter body, with a retractable locking base and a small footprint. It is sealed to IP67. It runs on 10-30 V DC, so it works on both 12 V and 24 V systems, drawing 80 mA at 12 V and rated at 0.9 W. Visibility is 2 nautical miles, and it meets USCG and COLREG requirements for marine navigation lighting.

Our take

Standing 24 inches tall on a 2.5 inch diameter body, the Contour carries its white light well up from the base while the 80 mA draw at 12 V stays gentle on the battery. The retractable base keeps a small footprint.

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.
