Perko Masthead Light f/Sail or Power Less Than 20M - 12VDC - Black Base Mount/White Light

The Perko Masthead Light for Sail or Power Less Than 20M is a USCG-certified navigation light designed for vessels under 65.6 feet in length operating on 12-volt DC electrical systems. This masthead light serves as the primary forward-facing navigation aid required by maritime law, mounted at the highest point of a vessel's mast or superstructure to ensure visibility from all directions during low-light conditions and nighttime operation. Whether you operate a sailboat, powerboat, or multi-hulled vessel, this Perko fixture meets regulatory requirements for commercial and recreational marine use.

Built with a durable black plastic lens housing and corrosion-resistant stainless steel mounting bracket, the Perko masthead light withstands saltwater and freshwater environments without degradation. The fixture operates at 12VDC, drawing minimal current while producing a bright white light visible across the required arc of visibility. Construction combines rigid polymer materials with marine-grade stainless hardware to resist rust and UV damage from prolonged sun exposure. The unit ships complete with a pre-installed bulb, eliminating the need for separate ordering and allowing immediate installation upon receipt.

Ideal for cruising sailboats, fishing vessels, and recreational powerboats, this masthead light integrates seamlessly with existing 12-volt marine electrical systems found on most small craft. Installation requires basic wiring to the vessel's main 12VDC battery or charging circuit and a secure mechanical mount at the masthead or highest point forward of amidships. The compact design measuring 5 x 4 x 8 inches and weighing only 0.7 pounds minimizes weight aloft, reducing top-weight effects on boat stability and sailing performance. For mariners requiring proven, regulation-compliant navigation lighting for vessels under 20 meters, the Perko 0200MB0DP1 delivers reliability and visibility night after night.
