How It Compares

Common Concerns Answered

Why is this light more expensive than some other brands?

The initial investment reflects Perko's commitment to superior quality, extensive global certifications (including ABYC C-5, NMMA, EN/ISO 19009:2015, COLREGS, and USCG 2nm), and advanced LED optics. This ensures long-term reliability, compliance with critical safety regulations, and energy efficiency, making it a superior value for safety-conscious boaters.

I've heard the locking collar can be difficult to use.

While some users have reported initial challenges with the locking collar, its design is intended to provide a secure, vibration-resistant fit. With a slight adjustment in technique or a brief familiarization period, most users find it engages effectively to ensure the pole remains firmly in place.

How does the energy consumption compare to older navigation lights?

This Perko LED navigation light consumes only 1.28 watts and 0.10 amps, significantly less than older incandescent or halogen navigation lights. This drastic reduction in power draw minimizes battery drain, a critical factor for extended cruising or when relying on battery power offshore.
