The Perko 1445DP6CHR is a stowaway navigation light with a 2-pin plug-in base. It has a clear fluted lens and gold plated contacts, and the maker gives its visibility as 2 miles. It is certified for power driven vessels under 20 meters (65.6') in length, so check your vessel type and length against that before fitting it.

Our take

The 2-pin plug-in base and stowaway design make this Perko a removable light rather than a fixed fitting. It is certified for power driven vessels under 20 meters (65.6'), with 2-mile visibility.

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.
