Perko 0972DP0STS Polished Stainless Steel Bi-Color Horizontal-Mount Bow Light, 12V

The Perko 0972DP0STS is a horizontal-mount bi-color (red/green) bow light built for boats that need a combination sidelight in a single compact fixture. The visible top is polished stainless steel, paired with a polymer base for corrosion resistance in a marine environment. It runs on 12 volts and ships with its bulb installed, drawing 10 watts at 0.80 amps, and is rated for 1-mile visibility so it meets standard nighttime navigation requirements for vessels underway.

The light is A.B.Y.C. A-16 certified for replacement use. The same light can also serve as a 24-volt A.B.Y.C. A-16 certified light on boats built prior to 11/1/03, provided the stock bulb is swapped for catalog no. 0072DP1CLR 24-volt bulbs; for 24-volt new-construction installations, contact Perko directly. This SKU is the polished stainless steel finish; a chrome-plated version of the same light is sold separately under a different part number for buyers who prefer that finish. Perko backs the light with a 5-year manufacturer warranty.
