Lopolight 2nm 2x112.5° Combined Sidelight/360° White All-round Light, horizontal mount, FB base w/6 meter cable
The Lopolight 201-003+012-FB 6M is a 2 nautical mile combined sidelight (red and green 112.5° sectors) and a 360° white all-round light in one lantern on the centreline. It mounts horizontally on the FB (flat base) POM mounting system, with a pre-wired 6 m cable. Housing: silver anodised aluminium.
Application & COLREG
Sidelights may be combined in one lantern on vessels under 20 m (Rule 21). On a power-driven boat under 12 m, an all-round white light with sidelights replaces masthead and stern light (Rule 23), so this one lantern is the complete set of navigation lights. Lopolight specifies it for 12–20 m: there the 2 nm sidelights qualify, but underway you also need a separate masthead light and stern light, and the all-round white serves as the anchor light.

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.
