Livorsi LED Navigation Lights
Livorsi LED navigation lights are compact, flush-mount sidelights built from 316-grade stainless steel for performance boats, center consoles, and offshore vessels. These lights meet USCG 2NM visibility requirements and ABYC A-16 standards, making them legal for recreational vessels up to 65 feet.
Livorsi Marine, based in Glenview, Illinois, manufactures precision marine instruments, including gauges, throttles, steering wheels, and LED lighting. Their navigation lights are popular on go-fast boats, poker run vessels, and custom builds where appearance matters as much as function.
DRSA stocks Livorsi LED navigation lights for South Florida boaters who need USCG-compliant sidelights with a low-profile design. We offer same-day pickup at our North Palm Beach location and can help you select the right finish and configuration for your vessel.
Livorsi Navigation Light Specifications
Livorsi's LEDNL3 series navigation lights share a common design across all finish options. Here are the key specifications:
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | 316-grade stainless steel |
| Visibility | 2 nautical miles (USCG 2NM) |
| Certification | ABYC A-16, NMMA Accepted |
| Voltage | 12V or 24V DC |
| Current Draw | 0.1 amp at 14V |
| Dimensions | 3.25" W x 1.75" L x 0.875" D |
| Mounting | Flush mount, vertical surface |
| Boat Length | Up to 65 feet |
The low current draw (1/10th amp) means these lights have minimal impact on your electrical system. A pair draws less power than a single courtesy light on many boats.
Livorsi Navigation Light Models
Livorsi offers navigation lights in several configurations to match different hull colors and mounting situations.
Standard Sidelights (LEDNL3 Series)
The core product line includes port (red) and starboard (green) lights in four finish options:
- Polished Stainless - Mirror finish, classic look
- Flat Black - Matte black, low-glare
- Gloss Black - Shiny black, modern aesthetic
All standard sidelights use the same housing dimensions and mounting pattern. Pick the finish that matches your boat's hardware and gel coat.
Hard Top Navigation Lights (LEDNL3HT Series)
The hard top versions (LEDNL3HTR / LEDNL3HTG) have a lower profile at 1.6 inches tall. These fit in tight spaces like T-tops, hard tops, and narrow gunwale sections where the standard 1.75-inch lights won't clear.
Same visibility rating. Same certifications. Shorter housing.
Pop-Up Bow Light (LEDPUBL)
The Livorsi pop-up bow light combines port and starboard navigation into a single housing that retracts flush when not in use. Push a button and it pops up to operating position.
This design works well on performance boats where a traditional bow light would disrupt the deck lines or create drag. The combo unit costs more than separate sidelights but provides a cleaner installation.
If you're replacing older "shark eye" style navigation lights, Livorsi's adapter plate covers the existing mounting holes. The plate has 5.41-inch center-to-center holes to match common shark eye patterns, with new holes for the LEDNL3 lights.
Why Boaters Choose Livorsi Navigation Lights
Livorsi navigation lights appeal to a specific type of boat owner. Here's what drives the choice:
Compact Size
At 3.25 x 1.75 x 0.875 inches, these are among the smallest USCG-certified sidelights available. They fit where bulkier lights won't, and they don't dominate the hull visually.
316 Stainless Construction
The entire housing is machined from 316-grade stainless steel, not plated or coated lesser metals. This matters in saltwater environments where corrosion destroys cheaper lights within a season or two.
Flush Mount Design
Livorsi lights mount vertically into the hull surface with no protruding bezels or housings. The light face sits nearly flush with the fiberglass, creating a streamlined appearance.
Performance Boat Heritage
Livorsi built its reputation in the go-fast and poker run community. Their navigation lights match the quality expectations of that market, where boats run hard and components need to survive the abuse.
OEM Relationships
Several boat manufacturers use Livorsi navigation lights as original equipment. If your boat came with Livorsi lights from the factory, direct replacements maintain the original fit and appearance.
Livorsi vs Other Navigation Light Brands
Boaters often compare Livorsi navigation lights against other premium options. Here's how they stack up:
Attwood offers USCG-certified navigation lights at lower price points. Their lights work fine for recreational use but use more plastic in the construction. Livorsi's all-stainless build is more durable long-term, especially on boats that run offshore or in rough conditions.
Hella Marine navigation lights are German-engineered with excellent optics and build quality. They're generally larger than Livorsi lights, which may or may not matter depending on your boat. Hella is a safe choice for cruising vessels; Livorsi fits the performance boat aesthetic better.
Sea-Dog offers a wide range of navigation lights at various price points. Their premium options compete with Livorsi on quality, while their budget options undercut on price. Livorsi has the edge on compact size and finish options.
Installation Considerations
Livorsi navigation lights are designed for flush mounting on vertical surfaces. Keep these points in mind:
Mounting Orientation
These lights mount vertically, not horizontally. The housing shape assumes a vertical surface like a bow section or gunwale. Horizontal mounting would obstruct the required light arc.
Cutout Requirements
Flush mounting requires cutting into your hull or liner. Measure twice. The compact size helps, but you still need adequate depth behind the mounting surface for the housing and wiring.
Wiring
Standard 12V or 24V DC wiring. The 0.1-amp draw means you can use relatively light-gauge wire for reasonable runs. Positive switching through your nav light circuit breaker or switch.
Sealant
Use marine-grade sealant around the mounting flange to prevent water intrusion. These lights are built for marine use, but proper installation and sealing are still essential.
Livorsi Navigation Lights in South Florida
South Florida's marine environment tests every component on your boat. Salt air, intense sun, and frequent rain create conditions that quickly destroy inferior hardware.
Livorsi's 316 stainless construction handles South Florida conditions well. The alloy resists salt corrosion better than 304 stainless steel or plated metals. UV exposure affects the LED efficiency less than it would incandescent bulbs.
For performance boat owners running out of Jupiter, Palm Beach, or Fort Lauderdale, Livorsi lights match the quality level of other hardware on these vessels. They're not the cheapest option, but they're built to last in demanding conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Livorsi navigation lights USCG approved?
Yes. Livorsi LED navigation lights meet USCG 2NM visibility requirements and comply with ABYC A-16 standards. They're NMMA accepted and legal for recreational vessels up to 65 feet operating in U.S. waters.
What's the difference between LEDNL3 and LEDNL3HT models?
The LEDNL3HT (hard top) versions have a lower profile housing at 1.6 inches tall versus 1.75 inches for standard models. Use the HT versions when mounting in tight spaces where the standard lights won't fit.
Can I use Livorsi nav lights on a 24-volt system?
Yes. Livorsi LED navigation lights are compatible with both 12V and 24V DC systems. No modifications or adapters required.
How long do Livorsi LED navigation lights last?
LED navigation lights typically last 30,000 to 50,000 hours. At a typical recreational use of 100-200 hours per year, that's effectively the life of the boat. The 316 stainless housing will outlast the electronics in most cases.
What size boats can use Livorsi navigation lights?
Livorsi navigation lights are rated for vessels up to 65 feet. The 2NM visibility rating meets USCG requirements for this size range. Larger vessels may need lights with greater visibility ratings.
Do Livorsi nav lights come as a pair?
Livorsi sells port (red) and starboard (green) lights individually. You'll need to order one of each for a complete set. This allows you to replace a single damaged light without having to buy both.
