The Perko 1607DP0CHR is a folding all-round white navigation light for a tower or arch. Upright, it shows 360 degrees of white light, and it folds down for storage. The adjustable-angle mount lets you set its position, and a reduced-glare design limits stray light. It is USCG-certified for 2 nautical miles of visibility on power-driven vessels under 20 meters (65.6 feet). It takes a 12V, 9-watt bulb, included, drawing 0.69 amp. The base is 2 x 1-1/2 inches, the light stands 8 inches tall, and the pole is 3/4 inch anodized.
Our take
The fold-down hinge is the useful part: upright it gives 360 degrees of white light at the certified 2 nautical miles, and laid down at the dock it doubles as a cockpit courtesy light. The certification covers power-driven vessels under 20 meters.
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.
