Where to buy

Specifications

Certified range
2 nm
Supply voltage
10-30V DC

The Lumitec Contour 101693 is a white anchor light standing 39 inches (99.6 cm) tall with a 2.5 inch diameter. It runs on 10 to 30 volts DC, so it works on 12 V and 24 V boats, drawing 80 mA at 12 V and 45 mA at 24 V. It is IP67 sealed, rated at 0.9 W, and carries a visibility figure of 2 nautical miles.

Our take

A 10 to 30 volt DC range means the Contour runs from either a 12 V or 24 V supply, drawing 80 mA at 12 V and 45 mA at 24 V. Its visibility is 2 NM, and at 39 inches tall it needs clear overhead room, so measure the spot first.

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.
