Stern Light – Reliable 135° Marine Navigation Light

This stern light is a navigation light for boats and ships, designed for attachment to the stern (aft) of the vessel. It displays a steady white light over an arc of 135 degrees, helping other vessels determine your boat's direction and avoid collisions at night or in low visibility. Made for marine environments, the housing is corrosion-resistant and the lens is weatherproof to ensure continued operation in harsh conditions.

The light fits standard marine electrical systems (12V or 24V DC) and is available in both LED and incandescent versions to meet your vessel's requirements. It is suitable for sailboats, powerboats, and commercial vessels as a replacement or original equipment, and is designed to comply with international collision regulations (COLREGS). Install with confidence for safe night cruising.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this stern light compliant with international regulations?

Yes, the stern light is designed to meet COLREGS and ABYC A-16 requirements for the required 135-degree arc and visibility range. Always ensure correct mounting height and angle for full compliance.

Can I use it as a replacement for an existing stern light?

Mostly yes. Check the mounting hole spacing (typically 2-inch centers) and voltage (12V or 24V) to match your current setup. The low-profile design fits standard stern rails or transoms.

What is the difference between LED and incandescent versions?

LED version uses less power, lasts longer, and offers brighter output (up to 2 NM visibility). Incandescent version is cheaper but draws more current and requires more frequent replacement of bulbs.

Is the light waterproof enough for prolonged saltwater use?

With an IP67 rating, the housing is dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion (1 meter for 30 minutes). It withstands spray, rain, and deck washdowns, but should not be submerged intentionally.
