Overview
The Perko LED Bi-Color Light is a 12V red and green LED bow navigation light for boats that need a compact forward-facing navigation light with low current draw. It uses self-contained LED modules and draws 0.21 amps at 2.5 watts, making it a practical fit for small-boat electrical systems where power use matters during night running, early departures, or long evenings at anchor.
This light is 2-mile USCG 2nm certified and meets key navigation light requirements, including ABYC C-5, NMMA Type Accepted, EN/ISO 19009:2015, ABYC A-16, 1972 COLREGS, RCD 2013/53/EU, and USCG 33 CFR for 2nm visibility. It mounts with #6 Phillips head screws and is offered in classic and rounded cover styles to suit different deck and bow layouts.

- Meets ABYC C-5, ABYC A-16, EN/ISO 19009:2015, 1972 COLREGS, RCD 2013/53/EU, and USCG 33 CFR requirements for 2nm navigation lights.
- NMMA Type Accepted under number 2619440.

- Available with black, white, rounded, and stainless steel insert cover options to match the boat’s trim and mounting area.
Variants
The range varies by cover color, cover shape, and whether the top includes a stainless steel insert. Black and white covers are available, with classic and rounded profiles depending on the configuration.
Classic versions measure 3-7/8 inches by 3-1/4 inches by 7/8 inch when fitted with a plain cover, while classic versions with a stainless steel insert measure 3-7/8 inches by 3-1/4 inches by 15/16 inch. Rounded cover versions measure 3-7/8 inches by 3 inches by 1-3/16 inches.
Installation and fit
This light is intended for boats using a 12V DC system and should be mounted where the red and green sectors have the correct forward visibility for the vessel. Before drilling, check the available flat surface at the bow or deck edge against the listed dimensions for the selected cover style, and confirm that the screw locations and wiring path are clear of deck hardware, pulpit bases, anchor gear, and hidden structure.
The #6 Phillips head screw mounting keeps the hardware simple, but the final installation should still be sealed correctly for the deck material and exposure level. On saltwater boats, take time to protect wire connections from moisture and vibration, especially in bow areas that see spray, washdowns, and repeated impact from chop.
Use cases on board
This light is a good match for small powerboats, sailboats, tenders, and fishing boats that need a certified red and green bow light with LED efficiency. The cover options make it easier to match the light to a black console, white deck, stainless trim, or a rounded styling preference without changing the basic 12V navigation light function.
