A 42" pole light with an adjustable head. It is USCG certified for power driven vessels under 20 meters (65.6') in length, and it has gold plated contacts. It includes two globes, a reduced glare globe and a full output globe. The collars fit 2-pin bases 1045, 1046, 1047, 1048, 1059 and 1060, and there are 2 screw positions for multiple base applications.
Our take
The two globes, one reduced glare and one full output, let you pick the light's character for the job. The certification covers power driven vessels under 20 meters (65.6') only, so a sailboat or a longer hull is outside 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.
