Lopolight 2nm 2x112.5° Combined Sidelight, horizontal mount, FB base w/2.5 meter cable
The Lopolight 201-003-FB is a 2 nautical mile combined sidelight – red port and green starboard sectors of 112.5° each in one lantern on the centreline. It mounts horizontally on the FB (flat base) POM mounting system, on a deck, coachroof or other horizontal surface. Housing: silver or black anodised aluminium.
Application & COLREG
A combined sidelight is only permitted on vessels under 20 m (COLREG Rule 21), carried on the centreline – typically on the bow pulpit or stem. At 2 nm it meets Rule 22 for vessels of 12–20 m, the range Lopolight specifies, and more than covers the 1 nm needed under 12 m. From 20 m, port and starboard sidelights must be separate lights.
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:
