Standard Navigation Lights

Essential for collision avoidance from sunset to sunrise, standard navigation lights keep your boat visible at sea. They also keep you compliant with international regulations for preventing collisions at sea. Utilising reliable incandescent bulbs, these traditional light fittings offer a direct-replacement fix for existing marine navigation setups.

Choose from port, starboard, stern, masthead and all-round lights in a variety of styles and mounting options. Replacement bulbs are also available to keep your navigation lighting operating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose incandescent navigation lights over LED navigation lights?

Standard navigation light fittings have a lower initial purchase price, they are also simple to maintain. Because they use replaceable bulbs rather than built-in, sealed circuits, fixing a blown light is as quick as swapping out a spare bulb.

Standard fittings give you strong flexibility. You can keep incandescent bulbs or switch to drop-in LED bulbs later.

Can I replace a standard bulb with an LED bulb in the existing housing?

You can fit LED replacement bulbs into many standard housings, provided the bulb base (such as BAY15d or festoon) matches. However, to ensure full COLREG compliance for visibility angles and color temperature, upgrading to a sealed LED fixture is recommended.

How do I maintain standard navigation lights?

Periodically clean plastic lenses with warm soapy water to remove salt crust. Make sure you inspect rubber seals for fatigue. Apply a dab of electrical grease to the bulb contact points to prevent saltwater corrosion.
