1 of 1

A Polycarbonate Double Navigation Light (Starboard Light, Green) is engineered to mark the starboard side of a vessel, enhancing visibility and compliance with navigational regulations. Constructed from impact-resistant polycarbonate, this light maintains durability in harsh marine conditions, while its double-lens or dual-chamber design provides redundancy to prevent complete outage if one lamp fails. Emitting a bright green signal, it enables other vessels to correctly identify a boat’s starboard side, ensuring safer navigation in low-light or adverse weather conditions.


Key Features & Benefits

  1. Robust Polycarbonate Construction

    • Withstands impacts, UV radiation, salt spray, and shifting temperatures for prolonged operational life.

  2. Double Navigation Light Configuration

    • Features two separate light sources or chambers in one housing, offering backup illumination if one fails.

  3. Green Lens for Starboard Identification

    • Conforms to standard marine color-coding conventions, aiding vessels in recognizing a boat’s starboard side at night.

  4. Lightweight & Low-Maintenance

    • Polycarbonate housing minimizes weight; sealed components reduce the frequency of maintenance tasks.

  5. Straightforward Installation

    • Mounting bracket or base allows quick setup on yachts, workboats, or commercial ships; typically requires minimal hardware.

  6. Regulatory Compliance

    • Often meets COLREGs, IMO, or other regulatory body standards for navigational lights (verify product specifics).


Typical Applications

  • Commercial Vessels & Cargo Ships

    • Assists in nighttime or restricted-visibility operations by clearly defining the ship’s starboard boundary.

  • Fishing & Workboats

    • Enhances safety during close-proximity maneuvers, trawling, or docking, providing dependable green illumination.

  • Leisure & Yachting

    • Ideal for sailboats, motor yachts, and other pleasure craft requiring durable, weatherproof starboard lighting solutions.


Technical Specifications

  • Housing Material: Polycarbonate (UV-, impact-, and corrosion-resistant)

  • Lens Color: Green (double-chamber design)

  • Operating Voltage: Commonly 12/24 V DC (check model documentation)

  • Light Source: LED or incandescent bulb (model-dependent)

  • Mounting Style: Surface/bracket mounting (installation hardware typically included)

  • Weather Resistance: IP66–IP68 rating (model-specific), suitable for wet and salty marine environments

  • Certifications: Usually complies with COLREGs, IMO, or other maritime navigation standards


Usage & Maintenance

  1. Proper Placement

    • Mount on the vessel’s starboard side at the specified height and angle to satisfy regulatory visibility requirements.

  2. Electrical Connection

    • Wire to a compatible power source, ensuring correct polarity and secure insulation of all terminals.

  3. Routine Checks

    • Periodically clean the lens and check the housing for cracks; verify electrical contacts remain free of corrosion.

  4. Lamp Replacement (if applicable)

    • Disconnect power before opening; replace with the recommended bulb to maintain brightness and color accuracy.
