Perko White Plastic Red Side Light

The Perko White Plastic Red Side Light is a critical navigation and safety component designed for vessels, tactical platforms, and maritime operations where COLREG (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea) compliance is non-negotiable. This red side light serves as a port-side indicator, essential for night operations, low-visibility conditions, and multi-vessel coordination scenarios. Whether deployed on patrol boats, tactical craft, or commercial maritime assets, this navigation light ensures your vessel maintains proper lighting standards and communicates intent to other operators in shared waterways.

Constructed from white plastic housing, the Perko red side light provides a durable, corrosion-resistant platform suitable for harsh saltwater and freshwater environments. The red lens emission is engineered to meet COLREG visibility requirements, offering a clear 112.5-degree arc of light as mandated by international maritime law. The plastic construction reduces weight without compromising structural integrity, making this light ideal for retrofit installations or new-build tactical platforms where weight management and UV resistance are priorities. The sealed design protects internal components from spray, humidity, and environmental degradation common in marine operations.

Law enforcement marine units, Coast Guard auxiliary personnel, and tactical boat operators rely on properly functioning side lights to maintain operational safety and regulatory compliance during night patrols and low-light interdiction operations. Installation is straightforward on gunwales, railings, or dedicated light mounts found on most tactical and commercial vessels. Weighing only 1 pound, this light minimizes topside weight distribution and can be paired with complementary port and starboard fixtures to establish a complete navigation lighting suite. Regular maintenance and proper voltage supply ensure years of reliable service in demanding operational environments.
