FAQs About Anchor & Masthead Lights

To help you make an informed decision, here are answers to common questions about anchor lights for boats and masthead lights:

Q: What’s the difference between an anchor light and a masthead light?
A: An anchor light is a white 360° all-round light displayed when a vessel is at anchor to signal its position. A masthead light is a forward-facing white light (225° arc) required when the boat is underway, helping other vessels determine direction and right-of-way. Both are essential for collision prevention and regulatory compliance.

Q: How far must an anchor light be visible?
A: Per USCG regulations, anchor lights must be visible for at least 2 nautical miles (NM) for vessels under 50 meters. Our LED options often exceed this for added safety.

Q: Are LED anchor lights legal?
A: Absolutely. LED anchor lights are fully compliant if USCG 2NM certified, like those in our collection. They’re increasingly preferred over incandescent bulbs for their longevity (up to 50,000 hours), lower energy use, and reduced heat output.

Q: Where should I mount my anchor light?
A: For optimal 360° visibility, mount anchor lights at the highest practical point on your vessel, such as the masthead, radar arch, or hardtop. Avoid obstructions to ensure full coverage.

Q: Which brands are best for anchor lights?
A: At DRSA, we recommend Lumitec Contour series for sleek, modern efficiency; Perko for classic, dependable durability; and Lopolight for rugged, high-performance applications in commercial or offshore settings.
