This is the Perko vertical mount stern light in polished stainless steel with a black polymer base, flush mounted. It is certified for 2 miles under USCG rules and rated for sail or power vessels under 20 meters, or 65.6 feet. It runs on 12 volts and uses a 10 watt bulb that is included, drawing .74 amps. Wattage and amperage are both given, which makes it easy to check the load on a circuit.
Our take
The 2 mile USCG certification and the 65.6 ft vessel limit set what this stern light covers: sail or power boats under 20 meters. It draws .74 amps on 12 volts and the bulb comes with it, so the load is simple to size against your circuit.
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.
