Perko Stealth Series LED Universal Replacement Folding Pole Light, For 1045, 1046, 1047, 1048, 1059 & 1060 2-Pin Bases, 12V, 2nm, 40° Adjustable Head

Overview

The Perko Stealth Series is an LED universal replacement pole light that folds in half for easier stowage on boats with removable all-round navigation lights. It is made for power driven vessels under 20 meters, with a white all-round light that is 2-mile USCG 2nm certified.

This light runs on a 12 volt LED circuit with 1.5 watts draw and 0.1 amps, making it a practical replacement for boats where low power use matters during night running, anchoring, or evening returns to the dock. The pole uses a 3/4 inch diameter anodized aluminum tube, a black polymer top, gold plated contacts, and a 40 degree adjustable head to help align the globe correctly with different base angles.

The universal setup is built around two collars, one threaded and one locking, plus two screw positions. It fits Perko 2-pin bases 1045, 1046, 1047, 1059, 1060, and the large threaded 1048 base, which helps when replacing an older pole light without changing the installed deck base.

Key features

• LED white all-round navigation light for power driven vessels under 20 meters.
• 2-mile USCG 2nm certified visibility for compliant night use where this light type is required.
• 12 volt LED operation with 1.5 watts draw and 0.1 amps for low current demand.
• Fold-in-half pole format helps reduce storage length when the light is removed from the base.
• 40 degree adjustable head helps keep the globe level across different base configurations.
• 3/4 inch diameter anodized aluminum pole with a black polymer top.
• Threaded and locking collars support use with multiple Perko 2-pin bases.
• Gold plated contacts help maintain electrical connection in a marine environment.

Variants

This product is offered in two pole lengths for boats that need different mounting heights above the deck, aft rail, or seating area.

The length changes between variants. The electrical rating, LED light type, adjustable head, pole diameter, collar setup, and compatible Perko 2-pin base families remain the same across the 48 inch and 60 inch versions.

• 1349DP6CHR: 48 inch pole length. This shorter version is useful where the light needs to clear nearby deck hardware while keeping removable storage more compact.
• 1349DP8CHR: 60 inch pole length. This longer version gives more height above the mounting base for layouts with higher obstructions or seating nearby.

Compatibility and fit

The light is intended for Perko 2-pin plug-in bases, including 1045, 1046, 1047, 1059, 1060, and 1048. Before ordering, match the existing base style, pin layout, and required pole height to the variant length. The adjustable head is useful when the deck base has rake, because the globe can be set for proper horizontal alignment instead of leaving the light tilted with the base angle.

Installation and use

This is a removable replacement pole light, so installation centers on inserting the pole into a compatible 2-pin base and securing it with the correct collar style. The fold-in-half design is helpful on small powerboats, fishing boats, and runabouts where the light is only installed when needed and then stored away to reduce snagging or damage while trailering.

For best results, keep the contacts clean, confirm the base wiring is 12 volt, and check that the white all-round light has an unobstructed view after installation. That matters around bimini frames, outboard cowls, rod holders, and aft seating, where a pole that is too short can leave the light partially blocked.
