The Perko 1634DP0CHR is an all-round white navigation light with a reduced-glare design. It sits on a 3/4-inch anodized pole, 14-3/4 inches tall overall, with a black polymer top and base, a clear fluted lens and a frosted globe. It runs on 12V with a 9 watt bulb included, drawing 0.69 amps. It is USCG-certified for 2 nautical miles of visibility and rated for power-driven vessels under 20 meters. The horizontal mount folds 90 degrees either way.
Our take
The mount folds 90 degrees in either direction, so a 14-3/4 inch pole doesn't have to stay upright when you need to get under a cover or past a low obstruction. With a 2 nm certified range and a power-vessel rating under 20 meters, it is a light for powerboats, not sailboats.
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.
