The use of navigation lights on boats must be in compliance with the international COLREG 72 regulations to prevent collisions at sea.
The regulations for navigation lights, applicable from dusk until dawn and in poor visibility conditions, are referred to two distinct types of transport vessels:
• Vessels with mechanical propulsion (power-driven vessels)
• Sailing vessels (vessels equipped with sails and, if relevant, an auxiliary engine that is not in use).
For each category there are also regulations that establish the use of navigation lights in accordance with the length of the vessel.
The range of our navigation lights cover the needs for power and sailing boats of up to 12 and 20 metres in length.
