This is the Perko Fig. 170 port navigation light with a black housing. It is a European style light, certified for sail or power driven vessels under 20 meters, and it carries USCG certification. It mounts on a vertical surface, and a 12 volt bulb is included. It is the port side version, one of several types and housing colours offered in the Fig. 170 range.
Our take
This port light is certified for sail or power driven vessels under 20 meters and carries USCG certification, so the length limit is the first thing to check against your boat. It mounts on a vertical surface, so it needs one to go on.
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.
