FAQs About Anchor & Masthead Lights
What’s the difference between an anchor light and a masthead light?
An anchor light is a white 360° all-round light displayed at anchor. A masthead light is a forward white light with a 225° arc required when underway. Both help other vessels judge your position and right-of-way.
How far must an anchor light be visible?
For vessels under 50 meters, at least 2 NM per USCG rules. Many LED models exceed this.
Are LED anchor lights legal?
Yes, if they are USCG-certified for the required range. LEDs are preferred for long life, lower energy use, and cooler operation.
Where should I mount my anchor light?
Mount it at the highest practical point with a clear 360° view, like the masthead, radar arch, or hardtop.
Which brands are best?
Lumitec Contour for sleek, modern installs, Perko for classic durability, and Lopolight for premium commercial and offshore needs.
