Perko 1181DP0CHR Horizontal-Mount Fold-Down Combination Masthead/All-Round Navigation Light, 12 Volt, 14.25 Inch

The Perko 1181DP0CHR is a 12 volt horizontal-mount fold-down combination masthead/white all-round navigation light built for sail or power driven vessels under 20 meters in length. The light folds down 90 degrees in either direction, opposite the plane of the attachment plate, making it a practical choice for boats that need to lower the light for storage, trailering, or clearing overhead obstructions such as bridges and low garages. The top, base, and lens are constructed of zinc alloy polymer for corrosion resistance in a marine environment, and the light mounts on a 3/4 inch anodized aluminum tube for durability against saltwater exposure.

This combination light functions as both a masthead light and an all-round white light in a single fixture, simplifying wiring and mounting compared to running two separate lights. The base incorporates a notch for through-base wiring, keeping the wire run concealed and protected inside the mounting pole rather than exposed on the exterior. The base itself is a standard duty design offering 0 to 180 degree adjustment and is intended for poles less than 18 inches long. Two 12 volt bulbs are included with the light, so it is ready to install without sourcing bulbs separately. Overall vertical height is 14-1/4 inches, with a base footprint of 2 inches by 1-1/2 inches, and installation uses #8 screws.
