POLYCARBONATE DOUBLE NAVIGATION LIGHT - STARBOARD LIGHT GREEN
POLYCARBONATE DOUBLE NAVIGATION LIGHT - STARBOARD LIGHT GREEN
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.
