This is Perko's 24-inch all-round pole light on a removable plug-in mount. The top and base are chrome plated brass, 3-3/8" x 2-1/4", with a clear fresnel globe and a 3/4" anodized tube that has a locking collar. It is USCG certified for power-driven vessels under 20 meters (65.6 ft) and gives 2-mile visibility. A waterproof cap and retainer cover the socket when the pole is out, the contacts are gold plated, and a 12V bulb is included.
Our take
The removable plug-in mount with a waterproof cap and gold plated contacts means the pole can come down when you're not using it and the socket stays sealed. The USCG certification covers power vessels under 20 meters, with a 2-mile range.
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.
