Lopolight 2nm Tricolor/Anchor Light, horizontal mount, IP68 base w/plug connector, black
The Lopolight 201-007-B TB 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 an IP68 waterproof POM base on a 400-404 PE base plate, with a cable gland for 4–14 mm cable and a plug connector – the light can be unplugged when the mast comes down. 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).
