Bright white LED, anti-glare lens, and a 42-inch pole that folds flat when you're done. One fixture covers you underway and at anchor on boats up to 39.4 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Attwood all-round fold-down light is the white 360-degree light your boat needs to be legal and seen after dark. It runs a bright white LED behind a clear polycarbonate lens, throws visibility a full 2 nautical miles in every direction, and covers boats up to 39.4 feet. On a power boat under 12 meters, this single light does double duty as your masthead and stern light when you're underway, and it's your anchor light when you're sitting still for the night. One pole, one light, one job done right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink about how you actually use it. You run out for an evening bite, the sun drops, and now you're a small boat in a big dark bay. Other captains need to see you from every angle, and you need to be lit correctly to stay legal. A proper 2-mile all-round white light is what makes that happen. Then later you drop the hook in a quiet cove and leave the same light burning as your anchor light, so the guy idling in at midnight knows you're there. This one fixture carries you from running to riding at anchor without a second light to wire in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fold-down pole is the part boaters actually love. That 42-inch anodized aluminum pole stands tall so the light clears your T-top, your Bimini, and the heads of everyone on deck. When you're trailering home, ducking under a low bridge, or racking the boat in a tight spot, you just fold it flat. No unscrewing a plug-in base in the dark, no hunting for where you stashed the pole last fall. It's there when you need it and out of the way when you don't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white LED is the real upgrade here. It sips power compared to an old incandescent bulb, so you're not draining the house bank on a long night at anchor, and there's no filament to rattle loose when you're pounding through chop. The lens is anti-glare for a reason. A raw 360-degree white light right behind the helm will wreck your night vision and wash out your view forward. This lens knocks that glare down so you can still read the water while the light does its job for everyone else on the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is stainless steel and mounts horizontally, so it's a clean fit on a flat gunwale, a transom cap, or an aft deck. Here's a tip from the shop. Any time you set a stainless base onto an aluminum surface, put a little dielectric grease under it and bed it properly. That keeps the two metals from arguing with each other and keeps corrosion streaks off your gunwale down the road. Snug the horizontal mount hardware, don't gorilla it, and hit the threads with a touch of anti-seize so it backs out easily next season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpkeep is easy. Give the lens a wipe when it hazes up with salt, check that the fold-down hinge swings freely, and a shot of light marine lube on that hinge a couple times a season keeps it moving smooth instead of stiffening up. That's about the whole maintenance list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo who's this for? Center consoles, bay boats, aluminum fishing rigs, runabouts, pontoons, anything under about 39 feet that needs a proper all-round white light and wants the convenience of folding it down. It pairs cleanly with Attwood's LED side lights if you're rebuilding your whole nav light setup at once, so you get matched color and brightness front to back. And because it's an LED, you'll likely install this once and forget about it for a long time. That's exactly what you want out of a safety light. Set it, trust it, go boating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhite LED light source for low current draw and no filament to fail in heavy chop\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e360-degree visibility rated to 2 nautical miles, seen from every angle after dark\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e42-inch anodized aluminum pole raises the light clear of your T-top, Bimini, and crew\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFold-down design drops the pole flat for trailering, low bridges, and tight storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAnti-glare clear polycarbonate lens protects your night vision at the helm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel base with horizontal mount for gunwales, transom caps, and aft decks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for power boats up to 39.4 feet (12 meters) as an all-round white light\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eServes as both underway all-round light and overnight anchor light\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack housing and polished stainless base for a clean look on any deck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Attwood Marine reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs this an anchor light or a navigation light?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eBoth.
