This Perko replacement light is a stowaway, two-pin plug-in type with a clear fluted lens and gold plated contacts. It is the black top style and is listed as a reduced glare design. It gives 2-mile visibility and is certified for power driven vessels under 20 meters long. It is a replacement part rather than a complete fixture.

Our take

The 2-pin plug-in design of this Perko light makes it a stowaway unit rather than a fixed one, and it has gold plated contacts at the connection. It is certified for power driven vessels, so check that yours is a power boat under 20 meters.

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.
