Red to port, green to starboard, all from one compact conical housing that runs on three AA batteries. No wiring to run. Clip it on when the light drops, pull it off and stow it when you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RAILBLAZA IPS Bow Light is the bi-color navigation light for the front of a small boat that doesn't already have one wired in. Red shows to port, green to starboard, both out of one compact conical housing that runs on three AA batteries. No wiring, no drilling a power run, no fuse panel. If you've got a tender, a jon boat, a small aluminum fishing boat, or any boat up to 36 feet, this is the easy way to get a bow light in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's where it earns its keep. Plenty of small boats get used before sunrise or come back to the ramp after the sun's already down, and a lot of them never had a real bow light to begin with. This one solves that in about ten seconds. You set it on the bow, switch it on, and you've got clean red and green separation so other boats can read which way you're pointed. When you're done, you pull it off and stow it. Nothing left out in the weather, nothing to corrode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 2.36 inches around and 5 inches tall, it's small enough to live in a glovebox or a tackle drawer between trips. That compact conical shape isn't just about looks. It keeps the light low and out of the way up on the bow, and it throws the red and green cleanly to either side without a big bulky fixture crowding your anchor or your lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe housing is UV stabilized fiberglass reinforced plastic in black, so it holds up to sun and salt without fading or getting chalky. It's rated IP67, which means it's sealed against dust and handles water down to three feet. That covers rain, spray, and the odd wave over the bow. Just make sure the battery hatch is closed and seated before you head out. That's the one spot where water sneaks in if you leave it cracked open for a quick battery swap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou get three modes. High for the brightest output when you're in traffic or a busy channel, medium to stretch the batteries on a long overnight sit at anchor, and a blinking mode. The three AA batteries are good for up to 28 hours of runtime, though the brighter and blinking modes pull that down some in the real world, so carry a spare set if you're out all night. Batteries aren't included in the box, so grab a fresh pack of AAs before your first trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMounting is dead simple. The light is portable and removable, so it sits at the bow when you need it and comes off when you don't. On a thin bow pulpit or a light fiberglass deck, back the mount with a small backing plate so it holds tight and doesn't work loose in a chop or a stiff headwind. It's a two-screw base, and a little care on the backing pays off on boats that see real wind and waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to be clear about. This is a bow light only. It shows red and green forward, which covers the front of your boat, but a complete setup also needs a stern-facing all-round white light so you're lit from behind. If your boat doesn't have that yet, plan on adding a white light to go with this one. Run the two together and you've got the front and back covered for running at night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the money, the RAILBLAZA IPS Bow Light is a smart, no-fuss fix for any small boat that needs a bow light and doesn't have the wiring for a fixed one. Portable, sealed, and bright enough to be seen. Toss it in the console, clip it on when the light drops, and run home safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBi-color red and green LED covers both port and starboard from one bow-mounted unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for boats up to 36 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree operating modes: high for busy channels, medium to save batteries, and blinking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRuns on 3 AA batteries for up to 28 hours of runtime\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP67 rated, dust and water resistant to 3 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUV stabilized fiberglass reinforced plastic housing resists sun fade and salt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact conical shape, 2.36 in diameter x 5 in height, stows easily between trips\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePortable and removable design, no wiring or power run required\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 RAILBLAZA 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 a complete navigation light setup?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eNot by itself.
