POLYCARBONATE SINGLE NAVIGATION LIGHT - ANCHOR LIGHT WHITE
POLYCARBONATE SINGLE NAVIGATION LIGHT - ANCHOR LIGHT WHITE
A Polycarbonate Single Navigation Light (Anchor Light, White) is designed to provide a bright, 360° white beam, indicating a vessel is anchored in compliance with international maritime regulations. Constructed from durable polycarbonate for excellent resistance to impact, UV rays, and saltwater, this single-lens fixture delivers reliable all-around visibility. Ideal for commercial and recreational boats, it ensures other vessels can easily identify your anchored position in low-light or nighttime conditions, reducing the risk of collisions.
