Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of a starboard navigation light?
The starboard navigation light, which emits green light, indicates the vessel's starboard (right) side, allowing other vessels to determine its relative position and direction of travel.
What does the 2NM rating signify?
The 2NM rating indicates the light's capability to be visible from a distance of at least two nautical miles under clear conditions, meeting regulatory requirements for certain vessel sizes.
Can I install this light myself?
With an InstallDifficulty rating of 1, this light is designed for straightforward installation, requiring basic electrical connection and mounting. However, always ensure proper safety precautions are taken.
What is the advantage of an FB base?
The FB (Flush Base) base allows for a clean, flush mount installation, providing a streamlined look and secure attachment to the vessel's surface.
How does the IP67 rating benefit my vessel?
An IP67 rating means the light is dust-tight and protected against immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, ensuring reliable operation even in heavy spray or accidental submersion.
