Overview
This Lopolight 360-degree stern light with an FB base is a white navigation light rated for 2 nautical miles on vessels under 12 m. It runs on 10-32 VDC for 12V and 24V systems and draws 3 W (300 mA at 12 VDC, 148 mA at 24 VDC).
The FB (flat base) centers the wiring for antenna-style pole mountings and also supports deck mounting from above or from below when you want a lower profile. The light is sealed to IP68 and comes pre-cabled with a 0.75 m shielded marine cable, with a minimum feed wire gauge of 0.5 mm2 (AWG22) for the supply run.
Overall size is Ø92.5 mm x 36 mm, with horizontal mounting. Operating temperature range is -25C to 55C, and approvals include COLREG72, EN14744, IEC 60945, IACS E10, USCG, ABS, M.E.D., DNV, and LR.
Key features
- 360-degree white stern/anchor-style visibility rated to 2 nautical miles for vessels under 12 m
- Wide 10-32 VDC input for mixed 12V and 24V onboard systems
- 3 W draw with published current figures (300 mA at 12 VDC, 148 mA at 24 VDC) for straightforward circuit sizing
- IP68 sealing for exposed mounting where spray and washdowns are part of normal use
- FB flat base routes wiring through the center for pole mounts and supports mounting from above or from below
- Compact footprint (Ø92.5 mm x 36 mm) with a pre-attached 0.75 m shielded cable
Variants
This light is offered with two housing color options while keeping the same 2 nm rating, electrical range, and overall form factor.
Across the range, the light color remains white with 360-degree coverage, mounting stays horizontal, the sealing level is IP68, and power is 10-32 VDC at 3 W. The practical difference between variants is the housing finish for how it looks on the boat.
- 201-030-FB-B: Housing color Black. The black anodized housing blends into dark poles, arches, and canvas-heavy setups where you want the light to stay visually low-key.
- 201-030-FB: Housing color Silver. The silver anodized housing matches stainless hardware and aluminum structures and keeps a classic look on deck.

Installation and setup
Plan for a horizontal mounting surface at the stern, radar arch, or on a suitable pole, with a clear view around the horizon. The FB base is set up for centered cable routing, which keeps the wiring protected when it runs down a tube or through a deck pass-through.
For mounting from the top, the base uses three clearance holes (3 x Ø4.4 mm) spaced 120 degrees apart. For mounting from below, the base provides three threaded holes (3 x M4 x 0.7, 6 mm deep). Route and secure the cable to avoid chafe, and seal any deck penetrations appropriately for your mounting location.
Electrical and system integration
Connect to a switched navigation-light circuit on 10-32 VDC. When extending the factory lead, keep splices dry, use marine-grade connectors, and support the cable so vibration does not work the joint loose over time.
Use the published current draw when sizing protection and wiring for the run. On a 12V boat, plan around 300 mA for the fixture itself before considering voltage drop over longer cable lengths.
Compatibility and fit
This unit is a good match for small sailboats and powerboats under 12 m that need a 2 nm all-round white light on a stern pole, aft rail, arch, or a clean deck mount. It is also a practical choice for coastal cruising boats that spend time at anchor and want a light that holds up in spray and sun.
Materials and sealing
The housing is anodized aluminum with a PMMA lens and A4 stainless steel screws. The enclosure is rated to IP68, which matters when the light lives outside where salt, rain, and routine washdowns are normal.
Shipping
