Perko 1612DP2BLK Removable Bi-Color Pole Light, Black, 12 Inch, 2-Pin Base

The Perko 1612DP2BLK is a removable bi-color pole navigation light designed for sail or power driven vessels under 39.4 feet (12 meters) in length. It mounts on a 2-pin base (sold separately) and can be pulled and stowed when not underway, which makes it a practical choice for boats with casting decks on the bow where a fixed light would be in the way.

The light features a black plastic top and a 3/4 inch diameter anodized aluminum pole, giving it a modern, low-profile look while standing up to marine conditions. It is waterproof and runs on a standard 12-volt system at 10 watts using an incandescent bulb (Perko bulb 0071DP0CLR) behind a red plastic lens set (Perko lens set 0283DPALNS). The fixture is also usable 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 a 24-volt bulb (Perko 0072DP1CLR).

Because the base is sold separately, this listing covers the removable pole and lens/bulb assembly only, letting owners pair it with the 2-pin base already installed on their boat or purchase one separately.
