This Perko Fig. 254 is a pair of red and green side lights in a chrome-plated bronze housing with a black plastic base. The tops are gasketed to the bases, and the lights mount on a vertical surface. They are USCG certified for vessels up to 65 ft (20 m) and give 2 nautical mile visibility. 12 volt bulbs come with the set.
Our take
The USCG certification covers vessels up to 65 ft (20 m), with 2 nautical mile visibility, so this pair is for boats under that length. Vertical mounting means it needs an upright surface 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.
