The Perko 1440DP4CHR is a white all-round navigation light from the Inland series, on a plug-in pole of about 36 inches. The pole locks with a collar and can be removed and stowed when you don't need the light. It is USCG certified for 2 nautical miles and rated for power-driven vessels under 20 meters (65.6 ft.). It runs on 12 volts, draws 9 watts (0.69 amps), and comes with a bulb. It fits two-pin versions of Perko 1045 and 1047 bases.
Our take
The 2 nautical mile USCG certification and the power-driven, under-20-meter rating spell out where this light is legal: motor vessels in that size range. The removable pole means the light can be stowed once you're off the water at night.
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.
