The Perko 1637DP0CHR is a vertical-mount all-round white navigation light that gives 360 degree coverage with reduced glare. It has a black polymer top and base, a clear fluted lens and a frosted globe on a 3/4-inch anodized pole, standing 14-1/8 inches tall. It runs on 12V at 9 watts and 0.69 amps, with a bulb included. Visibility is 2 nautical miles and it is USCG-certified for power-driven vessels under 20 meters (65.6 feet). The mount folds 90 degrees in either direction.
Our take
The 90 degree fold in either direction means this all-round light can be dropped out of the way when you need clearance, then raised for use. Its rating covers power-driven vessels under 20 meters, so check your boat's length and type before fitting it.
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.
