Lopolight 2nm Tricolor/Anchor Light, horizontal mount, FB base w/0.7 meter cable, black
The Lopolight 201-007-FB-B is a 2 nautical mile tricolour/anchor light for the top of the mast: red port and green starboard sectors of 112.5° and a white 135° stern sector in one lantern, with a 360° white anchor light built into the same lantern. It mounts horizontally on the FB (flat base) POM mounting system, with a pre-wired 0.75 m cable. Housing: black anodised aluminium.
Application & COLREG
COLREG Rule 25 lets a sailing vessel under 20 m combine its sidelights and stern light in one lantern at or near the top of the mast, where it is seen above the waves and the sails. This 2 nm tricolour is for sailing yachts under 20 m – the size Lopolight specifies. It is for sailing only: as soon as the engine drives the boat she is a power-driven vessel and must show a masthead (steaming) light with deck-level sidelights and stern light (Rules 3 and 23) – the tricolour must then be off. At anchor the white all-round light is the anchor light (Rule 30: one all-round white light is enough under 50 m).

Installation
Mount on the centreline and align with the fore-and-aft line. Red wire positive, black negative; a reversed connection does no damage. Use a slow fuse or breaker below 2 A, keep the housing isolated from ground and connect the cable screen to ground. For an even lower profile the black FB base can be left out and the light bolted from below with M4 screws – the thread in the light is only 6 mm deep, so longer screws damage it.
and then Add to Home Screen.
