Lopolight 2nm 112.5° Starboard Sidelight, vertical mount w/2.5 meter cable
The Lopolight 301-001 is a 2 nautical mile starboard sidelight with a 112.5° green sector, from dead ahead to 22.5° abaft the beam. It mounts vertically, on the hull side, a cabin side or a pulpit bracket. Housing: silver or black anodised aluminium, or white ceramic-coated aluminium.
Application & COLREG
At 2 nm this sidelight meets COLREG Rule 22 for vessels of 12 m up to 50 m – Lopolight specifies 12–50 m – and is the usual choice for yachts and motorboats of roughly 40 to 165 ft. It also more than covers the 1 nm needed under 12 m. Over 50 m, sidelights must reach 3 nm.
Complete the Navigation Light Set
Under COLREG a vessel underway shows sidelights and a stern light; a power-driven vessel adds a masthead light forward. To complete the set:
