PERKO Lighting
Cat. Nos. 1442, 1443, 1447, 1454, 1459 & 1624 Series
L.E.D. Reduced Glare White All-Round Lights
Patent Pending
The above lights are for use on power driven vessels under 20 meters (65.6 ft.) in length operating
on a nominal 12 volt system. Each must be used with a separately mounted base. When properly
installed, these replacement poles will comply with ʻ72 COLREGS and the U. S. Inland Rules.
MOUNTING INFORMATION
Read all instructions before proceeding.
1). For information on proper light selection, positioning and configuration, refer to A.B.Y.C.
Standard A-16 (1), the ʻ72 COLREGS, and the U.S. Inland Rules (2).
2). The center of the lens of white all-round pole lights must be located at least 1 meter (39.4”)
above the center of the lenses of either the bi-color or the red and green side lights on the
vessel. Be sure to use a light with a sufficiently long pole to meet this requirement.
3). Horizontal rotation of these lights is unimportant, as all-round lights have 360° horizontal arc
of visibility. However, aesthetically, mount the light as shown in Diagram #1.
4). IMPORTANT: “Reduced Glare” globes must be vertical during operation. See Diagram #2 in
order to assure compliance with technical details of the regulation and employ the “Reduced
Glare” feature of the series optical system.
5). L.E.D. lights are polarity sensitive. If the light does not operate after installation, the base
wiring may need to be reversed. Remove the base and reverse the wire connections.
6). To store folding lights (series 1454 & 1459) grasp both sections of pole and push towards
center coupling (see Diagram #3). While pushing, rotate either until screw is positioned in
open slot. Gently pull poles apart until they are clear of each other, fold one pole onto the
other with wire passing through slot. NOTE: The wire will remain connected to both poles
and will be damaged if too much pulling force is applied.
7). These lights use white L.E.D.ʼs and therefore are not serviceable. The lens/globe is
permanently sealed and cannot be opened.
