Perko 0618 LED Side Lights, 12V, 2 Mile Visibility, Vertical Mount, Stainless Steel, 2pk

Overview

The Perko 0618DP0STS is a pair of LED side lights for 12-volt power-driven vessels under 20 meters, or 65.6 feet, in length. These red and green navigation sidelights are made for vertical mounting and provide 2-mile visibility, making them a practical fit for bow or forward side mounting locations where separate port and starboard lights are required.

The lights use LED technology with a stainless steel top and black polymer base, giving the installation a clean deck or hull-side appearance while keeping the housing suitable for normal marine exposure. They meet ABYC C-5, ABYC A-16, EN/ISO 19009:2015, the 72 COLREGS, and U.S. Inland Rules, with NMMA Type Acceptance number 2619462.

Key features

• Sold as a matched pair for port and starboard side navigation lighting.
• 12-volt LED operation for boats with standard 12V DC electrical systems.
• 2-mile visibility for compliant use on power-driven vessels under 20 meters.
• Vertical-mount format for installation on a suitable upright surface.
• Stainless steel top with a black polymer base for a tidy exterior finish on deck or hull areas.
• Uses #6 mounting screws, which helps with hardware planning before installation.
• Meets ABYC C-5, ABYC A-16, EN/ISO 19009:2015, the 72 COLREGS, and U.S. Inland Rules.

Installation and fit

These side lights should be mounted only on a vertical surface, with the red light to port and the green light to starboard. Before drilling, check the mounting area for proper light arc, clear visibility forward and to the sides, and enough space behind the surface for wiring and fasteners.

The 12V LED circuit should be connected through the vessel navigation light switch and protected according to the boat builder’s wiring practices. Because navigation lights are safety equipment, final placement should be checked carefully so railings, pulpit hardware, anchors, canvas, or deck gear do not block the light output.

Use cases on board

This pair suits powerboats under 65.6 feet that need separate vertical-mount port and starboard side lights rather than a combined bi-color bow light. It is a good match for owners replacing older sidelights or fitting navigation lights on a new console, cabin side, or forward hull location where the mounting surface is upright and visible.
