This is a Perko LED white all-round light with 2 nautical miles of visibility, running on 12 volts DC. It is made for power vessels up to 65.6 ft. The top is white plastic over a clear fluted lens and a frosted globe. It sits on a fixed-mount white plastic base measuring 1 inch by 2-5/8 inches. The listed pole is 3/4 inch in diameter and anodized.

Our take

The 2 nautical mile visibility is the figure to check against your boat, along with the 65.6 ft power vessel rating. This is a 12 volt LED on a fixed base, so it is built as a permanent mount rather than a removable light.

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.
