Focused on lighting? 

Attwood is always the bright spot in marine navigation lighting.  Our certified components help you meet the latest USCG regulations with style and durability.

Take advantage of fresh styling and engineering innovations with Attwood, the boat builder's most complete source for navigation lights.

Types of Navigation Lights

Attwood offers four basic types of navigation lights: sidelights, all-round lights, masthead lights and transom lights. These types are differentiated by lens color, beam angle (horizontal cut-off angle), and location on the boat. All lights are for 12-volt DC applications only. Styles may vary, but the color, cut-off angle, and location must always comply with USCG standards.

Sidelights

Attwood offers the widest range of sidelights in the marine industry. For boats large and small, in vertical mounts or horizontal, in numerous materials and colors -- the selection is excellent.

From the small-footprint of the Pulsar series, to the elegance of the Quasar or the newest 2-Mile stainless, Attwood truly has a sidelight for any boat design.

All-Round Lights

Attwood all-round lights offer two-mile 360 degree visibility and are suitable on boats up to 39.4 ft. (12 meters).  Power of vessels less than 39.4 ft. may show a single  all-round light in lieu of separate masthead and stern light.  Attwood all-round lights are available in a variety of head, pole, and base styles to fit most style boats and installation locations.  On boats under 12 meters, the 360 degree all-round light is the most important navigation light because it can be seen by others from any direction.  The drawback is that, in some cases, old-style  all-round lights create an onboard safety hazard for the driver-blinding glare at the helm.  

Attwood offers a choice of  all-round lights, both antiglare and frosted globe. 

Anti-Glare Lights 

Attwood's antiglare all-around light goes beyond current regulations to reduce the danger of onboard glare. The precision lens focuses the light beam to the horizon where it's needed - 360 degree without diffusion - keeping out of the driver's field of view.  It allows the operator to see while being certain that the boat is seen. 

The new articulating head Anti-Glare light makes it even easier to eliminate glare.  The patented articulating head adjusts from 15 degree fore to 15 degree aft to fit all base angles and typical deck installations. 

Frosted Globe Lights 

Attwood's standard frosted globe,  all-round light is also available.  Frosted Globe lights, when properly located, provide effective 360 degree visibility.

Masthead Lights

Masthead lights offer three-mile, 360 degree light visibility and are used on boats up to 65.6 ft. (20 meters). 

With its new 7200 series, Attwood has completely redesigned the anchor/masthead light.  The design is clean and good-looking, far in advance and anything else in the industry.

Transom Lights

The clear lens shines in an arc of the horizon at 135 degree.  The precision lens design focuses the light aft, keeping the operator in a "shadow".  For mounting as near as possible at the stern. 

These lights provide two-mile transom visibility for pleasure craft up to 164 ft. in length.  304 stainless steel with a plastic body and watertight lamp socket.  It may also be used as a stainless cockpit courtesy light.
