The Perko Fig. 227 is a chrome bi-color navigation light. It is USCG certified for vessels up to 65 ft, with 2 nautical mile visibility and a 225° arc. The housing is chrome-plated zinc on black plastic bases, with ultrasonically welded lenses and 12 volt bulbs included. It measures 3-1/4 inches long and 2-5/16 inches wide, and the maker does not recommend it for saltwater use.
Our take
The Fig. 227's chrome-plated zinc housing comes with a caveat: the maker does not recommend it for saltwater use. Its 225° arc and 2 nm visibility are rated for vessels up to 65 ft, so check where you sail first.
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.
