What navigation lights does my boat legally need?

It depends on your boat’s length and type. Navigation rules specify which lights (sidelights, stern light, masthead/all-round) and what visibility range are required. Check the requirements for your specific boat and make sure any replacement lights are certified compliant for that size.

Should I switch to LED marine lights?

For most boaters, yes. LEDs use far less power, run cooler, and last much longer than incandescent bulbs — a real advantage given limited onboard battery capacity. Just confirm any LED nav-light replacement is certified to meet the required brightness and color.

What makes a light “marine-grade”?

Marine-grade lights use sealed, corrosion-resistant housings (stainless, marine polymer, or coated aluminum) and gaskets that keep moisture out, plus wiring and connectors that resist salt corrosion. Ordinary automotive or household fixtures fail quickly in a marine environment.
