Overview
The Perko Fold Down White All-Round Light is a white all-round navigation pole light for sail or power vessels under 20 meters, with a fold-down base that helps keep the pole out of the way when the boat is stored, trailered, or covered.
This incandescent pole light is USCG 2 nautical mile certified and uses a 12 volt bulb rated at 11 watts and 0.94 amps. The white translucent polymer globe, black polymer base, and 3/4 inch diameter anodized aluminum tube suit common mounting points such as windshields, T-tops, rails, arches, and hard tops.
The range is offered with horizontal and vertical mount options, so the fold direction can match the available space around the attachment plate. Both versions use a fold-down, adjustable-angle layout and include a polymer adapter for flat or V type mounting with a notch for through-base wiring.
Key features
- White all-round navigation light with 360 degree visibility for vessels under 20 meters.
- USCG 2 nautical mile certification for required nighttime or low-visibility navigation lighting.
- 12 volt incandescent bulb included, rated at 11 watts and 0.94 amps.
- Fold-down base helps reduce snagging and clearance issues when storing, covering, or trailering the boat.
- White translucent polymer globe with a black polymer base and 3/4 inch diameter anodized aluminum tube.
- Mounting adapter works with flat or V type mounting surfaces and includes a notch for through-base wiring.
- Suitable for common topside mounting areas, including windshields, T-tops, rails, arches, and hard tops.
Variants
This light is offered in two mounting configurations. The key difference is the fold direction in relation to the base, which matters when checking clearance around glass, canvas, rails, electronics, and nearby hardware.
The core light type, white globe, black polymer base, 12 volt bulb, 3/4 inch anodized aluminum pole, and USCG 2 nautical mile rating are consistent across these two configurations.
- 1137DP0CHR: vertical mount. The pole folds 90 degrees in either direction along the plane of the attachment plate, which works well where the mounting surface and stowage path run in the same direction.
- 1134DP0CHR: horizontal mount. The pole folds 90 degrees in either direction opposite the plane of the attachment plate, giving a different stowage path for windshields, hard tops, arches, and rail-mounted installations.
Installation and fit
Before installation, check the fold path as well as the pole height so the light clears windshield frames, canvas, antennas, rod holders, and other deck hardware. The vertical mount version has an overall height of 15-1/2 inches with base dimensions of 2-1/4 inches by 5/8 inch and 1-5/8 inch center-to-center base dimensions. The horizontal mount version has an overall height of 15-3/8 inches with base dimensions of 2 inches by 1-1/2 inches and 1-3/8 inch center-to-center mounting holes.
The mount uses #8 screws. Route wiring through the base where appropriate and keep the connection protected from spray and standing water, especially on open boats and exposed hard-top installations.
Use cases on board
This light is a practical match for small powerboats and sailboats that need a fold-down all-round white light above the deck line. It is especially useful on boats where a fixed pole would interfere with covers, storage height, low bridges, or gear movement around the cockpit and helm area.
