Why It Matters
USCG COLREGS require specific navigation lights for vessels underway or at anchor at night. A burnt-out light is a federal infraction and a collision risk. Underway in darkness with non-functioning lights, you can be cited—and worse, you are invisible to other vessels.
LED upgrades pay for themselves: 90% less power draw, 10x longer life, and better visibility in fog and rain compared to incandescent. Modern LED fixtures mount in your existing sockets and draw a fraction of the current.
How Mark Does It
- 1.Test each light at the panel and at the fixture
- 2.Inspect lenses for UV crazing/cracking
- 3.Check wire connections and terminal corrosion
- 4.Note any fixtures with dim output
- 5.Provide LED upgrade quote
- 6.Install approved replacement fixtures and conduct final test and photo report
