Livorsi - LED Pop-Up Bow navigation Light

The LED Pop-Up Bow Light combines red (port) and green (starboard) navigation lights into a single, compact housing that mounts at the bow. When you're not running at night, push the button and it folds down to 2.15" above the deck. When you need it, pop it up to 2.65" for USCG-compliant illumination.

This is the cleanest way to mount bi-color navigation lights on performance boats, center consoles, and any vessel where deck clutter matters.

How It Works:

The pop-up mechanism uses a spring-loaded design. Push the button, and the light rises into position. Push again, and it folds down. No tools required, no fumbling with removable lights.

When deployed, the light displays:

• Red (Port) – Visible from dead ahead to 112.5° aft on the left side
• Green (Starboard) – Visible from dead ahead to 112.5° aft on the right side

This meets USCG requirements for sidelights on recreational vessels.

Built for the Marine Environment:

The housing is machined from 316 marine-grade stainless steel, the same corrosion-resistant alloy used in high-end marine hardware. This light won't pit, rust, or degrade in saltwater conditions.

LED technology means:

• Minimal power draw (won't drain your batteries)
• Cool to the touch (no heat buildup)
• Long lifespan (outlasts incandescent by thousands of hours)
• Bright, crisp light output

Installation:

Cut a 3-1/2" diameter hole in your bow deck using a hole saw. The stainless steel bezel (4.43" x 4.0") sits over the cutout. Fasten with three #10 screws (not included). Wire the light to your 12V navigation circuit.

Below deck, you'll need at least 1.80" of clearance for the light housing. If you're adding the optional waterproof cup, you'll need 4.00" total depth.

The optional waterproof cup (3-1/4" deep, sold separately) catches any water that enters the cutout from waves or rain and channels it away from your hull interior. Recommended for boats that take spray over the bow.

Why Performance Boat Owners Choose Pop-Up Lights:

Traditional bow lights stick up from the deck all the time. They snag lines, get kicked, and look out of place on a sleek hull. The pop-up design solves all of that. Your deck stays clean when the light isn't needed, and you get full USCG compliance when it is.

FAQs 

What is a pop-up bow light? A pop-up bow light is a bi-color navigation light that combines red (port) and green (starboard) in one housing. It mounts in the deck and pops up when needed, then folds down when you're done. This keeps your bow deck clean and snag-free.

Is this light USCG-approved? Yes. The LED Pop-Up Bow Light is USCG-approved with 2 nautical miles of visibility, meeting requirements for recreational vessels.

What size hole do I need to cut? Cut a 3-1/2" diameter hole using a hole saw. The stainless steel bezel measures 4.43" x 4.0" and sits over the cutout. Fasten with three #10 screws (not included).

How much clearance do I need below deck? You need at least 1.80" of clearance below the deck surface for the light housing. If you're using the optional waterproof cup, you'll need 4.00" total depth.

Does this replace separate port and starboard lights? Yes. This bi-color light combines both the red port light and green starboard light into a single unit mounted at the centerline of the bow. USCG regulations allow combined sidelights on vessels under 20 meters (65.6 feet).

What is the visibility range? 2 nautical miles, which meets USCG requirements for sidelights on recreational boats under 12 meters (39.4 feet).

How tall is the light when open vs. closed? When closed, the light sits 2.15" above the deck. When open, it extends to 2.65" above the deck.

What is 316 stainless steel? 316 stainless steel is a marine-grade alloy with added molybdenum for superior corrosion resistance in saltwater environments. It's the same material used in high-quality marine hardware, cleats, and fittings.

How much power does this light draw? The LED design draws less current than incandescent navigation lights. You can run it all night without significant battery drain.

Do LED lights stay cool? Yes. Unlike incandescent bulbs, LEDs produce very little heat. The light stays cool to the touch during operation.

What is the optional waterproof cup for? The optional waterproof cup (3-1/4" deep, sold separately) installs below the light housing to catch any water that enters the cutout from waves or rain. It channels water away from the interior of your hull. Recommended for boats that take spray over the bow.

Can I install this myself? Yes. Cut a 3-1/2" hole with a hole saw, fasten with three #10 screws (not included), and wire to your 12V navigation circuit. You'll need at least 1.80" of clearance below deck (or 4.00" with the optional waterproof cup). Basic boat electrical skills required.

Will this work on a 24V system? This light is designed for 12V DC systems. Contact us if you need a 24V solution.
