Overview

This Lopolight tri-color/anchor navigation light with an FB (flat base) is a single masthead fixture that covers red and green sidelights (112.5° each), a 135° stern light, and a 360° white anchor light. It is rated for 1 NM visibility, runs on 10-32 VDC, and is sealed to IP68 for rain, spray, and washdowns.

This version is supplied with a 22 m cable for longer runs down a mast or radar pole. The housing is silver anodized aluminum with a PMMA lens and A4 stainless hardware, and the footprint is Ø92.5 mm. The standard tri-color/anchor version is 68 mm tall; the Windex version is taller at 86 mm because of the illuminated Windex mount.

Key features

• Combined tri-color sectors and anchor light in one unit: red 112.5°, green 112.5°, white 135°, and white 360°
• 1 NM visibility rating for boats listed under 12 m
• 10-32 VDC input for 12 V and 24 V systems
• IP68 sealing for wet environments and regular deck washdowns
• FB (flat base) mounting with top-mount or underside-mount options to match access and rig layout
• Silver anodized aluminum (25 µ) housing, PMMA lens, and A4 stainless steel screws
• Low power draw at 2.6 W (150 mA at 12 VDC, 81 mA at 24 VDC)
• Minimum feed wire gauge: 0.5 mm2 (AWG22)
• 22 m cable length for masthead installations where the switch panel is below

Variants

Offered with two function sets. Both share the same 1 NM optics, Ø92.5 mm footprint, IP68 sealing, and 10-32 VDC input.

The difference is the extra function at the top of the unit: anchor only, or anchor plus an illuminated Windex mount.

• 101-009-FB 22M: Additional functions - Anchor. This configuration gives you the tri-color sectors for sailing plus the 360° white anchor light in the same fixture.
• 101-009W-FB 22M: Additional functions - Windex/Anchor. Adds an illuminated Windex mount on top so a wind vane can be seen at night while keeping the tri-color and anchor functions in the same unit.

Installation and setup

Mount the unit level on a horizontal surface at the masthead, on a radar pole, or on a dedicated light platform where it has an unobstructed view. The FB base supports mounting from the top using three clearance holes, or from the underside using three M4 threaded holes, which helps when you cannot access the top once installed.

Plan the cable route before fastening the light. Leave a service loop, support the cable so it cannot chafe inside the spar, and seal the penetration where it passes into the mast or deck to keep water out.

Electrical and system integration

Power is 10-32 VDC, so it fits typical 12 V and 24 V boats without a converter. Wire it to a navigation-light switch panel or controller that supports a combined tri-color and anchor light. On the Windex/Anchor version, the Windex mount light is an additional function that is normally handled as its own circuit at the switch panel.

Use cases on board

Good match for coastal cruising and overnight passages on smaller sailboats where you want one fitting at the masthead and you want to keep electrical load modest. The Windex/Anchor option is a practical add-on for boats that sail with a wind vane and want it readable from the cockpit after dark.

Maintenance and care

Rinse the housing and lens with fresh water after salt exposure and avoid abrasive pads that can haze the PMMA lens. During rig checks, confirm the fasteners are snug and the cable is still properly supported where it enters the spar.
