Perko Stealth II Series LED Side Lights, 12V, 2 NM, Horizontal Mount, Pair

Overview

The Perko LED Stealth II Series is a horizontal mount LED side light set for port and starboard navigation lighting on power-driven vessels under 20 meters, or 65.6 feet, in length. It runs on a nominal 12V system and is listed as a 2 nautical mile side light, giving boat owners a low-profile replacement or upgrade for bow and deck installations where red and green running lights are required.

Each light is compact for clean mounting on horizontal surfaces, with a height of 5/8 inch, length of 2-1/2 inches, and width of 2-5/8 inches. The LED design draws less than 0.25 amps and uses 3.75 watts per light, so it places a light load on the vessel electrical system while keeping heat low during night operation.

Key features

• Port and starboard LED side light pair for red and green navigation lighting.
• 2 nautical mile visibility rating for use on power-driven vessels under 20 meters, or 65.6 feet, in length.
• Horizontal mount layout suits bow, foredeck, and other flat mounting surfaces where the lens orientation can be kept correct.
• 12V LED operation with less than 0.25 amps draw per light helps reduce load on the boat battery system.
• Low-profile body measures 5/8 inch high, 2-1/2 inches long, and 2-5/8 inches wide for a cleaner deck appearance.
• Available in polished stainless steel, black powder coated, or white powder coated finishes to match surrounding deck hardware and gelcoat.
• Installation uses #8 pan head screws and a 5/16 inch wiring hole, or a 7/16 inch wiring hole when the gasket set is installed.

Variants

This LED Stealth II horizontal side light is offered in three finish configurations. The light style, horizontal mounting format, 12V LED electrical format, and 2 nautical mile Stealth II rating remain consistent across the listed variants.

The finish is the main difference between configurations, so selection is mainly about matching the look of the deck, bow, rail area, or existing navigation light hardware.

• 0616DP2STS: Stainless finish. This option has a polished stainless look that suits boats with stainless rails, deck fittings, and bright metal hardware.
• 0616DP2BLK: Black finish. This option pairs well with darker trim, black windshield frames, black rub rails, and low-glare deck layouts.
• 0616DP2WHT: White finish. This option blends neatly with white gelcoat and lighter deck surfaces where a less noticeable housing is preferred.

Installation and setup

The lights are made for horizontal surface mounting and need to be installed with the red lens to port and the green lens to starboard. The mounting location should follow the vessel centerline and provide the required sight angles for navigation light compliance, so placement matters as much as the light itself.

For wiring, observe polarity and connect the lights into the boat electrical system following marine wiring practice. On conductive surfaces such as aluminum, the gasket set is used to help isolate the fixture and reduce the risk of stray current corrosion.

Compatibility and use on board

This set is a practical match for powerboats under 20 meters that need separate port and starboard side lights on a horizontal mounting surface. It works well for owners replacing older filament navigation lights or building a cleaner bow lighting layout with a low-profile LED pair.

Because the lights are LED units and are not serviceable internally, they should not be opened at the lens. Routine care is mainly keeping the lenses clean, checking the wiring connections, and confirming that deck sealant or the gasket area remains in good condition after washdowns and seasonal maintenance.

What’s included

• One pair of Perko LED Stealth II horizontal mount side lights.
• Gasket kit for use when required by the mounting surface.
