Perko Vertical Mount Stern Light, Stainless Steel 0939DP1STS

Brand:
Perko
Part no:
0939DP1STS

Where to buy

This Perko light is a stern light made for vertical mounting. The 0939DP1STS has a stainless steel top over a black plastic base, and the same style is also made with a copper plated brass top. It is a flush mount design, so the base fits down against the surface it is mounted on and the top is the part that shows.

Our take

The stainless steel top over a black plastic base is the build detail to note on this Perko stern light. Flush mounting means it is fitted directly onto a surface, so the plastic base is what sits against the boat while the metal top faces out.

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.
