Hella Marine 2NM LED Port Nav Light Red | 980520001
Hella Marine 2NM LED Port Nav Light Red | 980520001 — Product description
This is Hella Marine's LED port light, the red one that marks your boat's left side after dark. It's rated for 2 nautical miles of visibility, runs on anything from 9 to 36 volts, and it's sealed to IP67 so spray and rain aren't a problem. Certified where it counts, IMO COLREG, USCG, and ABYC.
If you're rigging navigation lights on a smaller boat, the Hella Marine port light is the red one that goes on your left side. It puts out a clean 2 nautical mile signal from a single LED that pulls just 2 watts, so it's easy on your battery whether you're running a 12 or 24 volt system. The wide 9 to 36 volt DC range means it drops into just about any setup without a fuss.
The housing is black polymer with an acrylic red lens, and the whole thing is sealed to IP67. Salt spray, rain, a wave over the bow, none of it gets in. It surface mounts and comes with 4.7 inches of pre-wired tinned marine cable, so you're not soldering leads in the dark.
And it's certified where it counts. IMO COLREG 72, USCG, ABYC C5, plus CE, RINA, and UKCA. That's the paperwork that keeps you legal on the water at night.

Which side of the boat does the red port light go on?
The port side, which is the left side when you're facing forward. Red always marks port, green marks starboard.

Yes. It's rated for 2 nautical miles of visibility and carries IMO COLREG 72, USCG, and ABYC C5 certification.
How does it mount?
Surface mount. It comes with 4.7 inches of pre-wired tinned marine cable, so you just fasten it down and connect the leads.
