This Lumitec surface mount light is the red port sidelight, with a white finish. It is meant for retrofit and new installations and carries U.S. Coast Guard approval for 2nm visibility on vessels up to 50m/165 feet. It runs on 10-30V DC, drawing 67mA at 12V DC and 33mA at 24V DC. Visibility is listed as 2nm.
Our take
A 67mA draw at 12V DC and a 2nm visibility rating are the two figures that define this red port light. The Coast Guard approval covers vessels up to 50m/165 feet, so the stated rating applies across a wide range of boat sizes.
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.
