Lopolight Series 300-036 - Masthead Light - 5NM - Horizontal Mount - White - Black Housing

The Lopolight Series 300-036 Masthead Light is a critical piece of safety equipment for any vessel operating in low-light or nighttime conditions. Designed to mount horizontally at your masthead, this navigation light broadcasts a 5-nautical-mile visibility range—sufficient for smaller to mid-size boats, fishing vessels, and recreational cruisers where compliance with Coast Guard navigation rules is non-negotiable. Whether you're night fishing offshore, making a dawn run to your favorite grounds, or simply returning to port after sunset, this masthead light ensures you remain visible to other traffic and meets federal lighting standards.

The Series 300-036 combines durability with reliable all-weather performance through its sturdy black housing and white lens configuration. The horizontal mount orientation positions the light at deck level once installed at the mast, delivering unobstructed 360-degree visibility that identifies your vessel's presence to approaching boats. LED technology inside keeps power draw minimal—a significant advantage on vessels with limited electrical capacity. At 3.2 pounds and compact dimensions (8 x 6 x 9 inches), installation is straightforward, and the light's robust design withstands the salt spray, vibration, and thermal cycling that characterize marine environments.

Boaters running commercial charters, recreational fishing trips, or overnight passages will find the Lopolight Series 300-036 an essential investment in visibility and regulatory compliance. The 5NM range is ideal for crowded anchorages, inland waterways, and coastal operations where vessels operate within sight of each other but need clear positive identification. Installation requires basic wiring knowledge and a suitable masthead mounting point; the black housing integrates cleanly with most modern boat aesthetics while remaining visible against light-colored spars. This is not optional equipment for night operations—it's a legal requirement backed by proven performance.
