This is Perko's Fig. 252 bi-color navigation light in a chrome finish. It is USCG certified for vessels up to 65 ft (20 m), with a visibility of 2 nautical miles over a 225 degree arc. It mounts on a horizontal surface and takes a 12 volt bulb, which is included. The contacts are gold plated. It measures 3-1/2 inches long.
Our take
The 225 degree arc and 2 nautical mile rating make this a combined bow light for boats under 65 ft. It mounts on a horizontal surface, so it suits a deck or foredeck mount rather than a vertical bulkhead.
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.
