Innovative Lighting Stainless Steel LED Bi-Color Boat Bow Navigation Light, 9-16V DC
The Innovative Lighting Stainless Steel LED Bi-Color Boat Bow Navigation Light is a deck-mount bow light built around a polished stainless steel housing and a transparent lens that stays cool to the touch during operation. Its 6 LED configuration delivers a rated 50,000 hours of service life while drawing only 110 mA, making it a low-maintenance, energy-efficient alternative to incandescent bow lights. The light operates on 9-16 volt DC systems and is intended for use on powerboats under 20 meters (65.6 feet), showing the required green/red bi-color pattern from the bow.
Installation uses hard wire leads and requires a 0.375 inch mounting hole through the bow, so it drops into a standard navigation light cutout without additional hardware modification. The housing measures 3.25 inches by 1.65 inches and the fixture weighs 0.4 pounds. This light is USCG compliant, making it suitable for boaters who need to meet United States Coast Guard navigation light requirements for vessels in its size class.
