Perko White 12V Horizontal-Mount Sidelights, Pair - Red and Green Lens Navigation Lights, Part 0253W00DP1

The Perko 0253W00DP1 is a pair of white, horizontal-mount navigation sidelights for power-driven vessels. Each set includes one red lens and one green lens light, so the correct port and starboard color coding is built in right out of the box. The housings are molded from durable white polymer with gold-plated contacts for a reliable electrical connection in the marine environment, and the acrylic lenses resist yellowing and UV fade over time. These lights run on a 12 volt system at 19.2 watts and use a removable bulb-and-socket design (rather than a sealed LED module), so burned-out bulbs, lenses, or the base assembly can be replaced individually instead of discarding the whole fixture. Each light measures 3-1/2 inches long by 2-1/4 inches wide by 13/16 inches high, making them a compact fit for smaller helm areas, bow rails, or cabin sides where a low-profile horizontal light is needed. The pair is USCG certified for use on power-driven vessels under 20 meters (65.6 feet) in length, covering the certification needs of most recreational boats. Perko also notes that this Fig. 0253 light can be adapted for 24-volt A.B.Y.C. A-16 certified use on boats built prior to November 1, 2003, by swapping in Perko's 24-volt bulb. As a Perko-branded pair, these sidelights are a direct, genuine-manufacturer option for replacing worn, cracked, or fogged navigation lights rather than sourcing a generic aftermarket substitute.
