360° LED Anchor Light with Stainless Steel Base (RINA Certified) – for Boats up to 50m

This classic 360° anchor light is a top-of-the-line product engineered to meet the demands of large yachts and commercial vessels in terms of sturdiness, reliability, and brightness. The combination of stainless steel construction and LED technology makes it virtually “maintenance-free” – the housing withstands harsh conditions without corroding, and the LED light source provides steady, bright illumination with minimal upkeep.

Materials and build quality: The base and cover are crafted entirely from marine-grade AISI 316 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish. This not only imparts a luxurious appearance (perfectly complementing other polished hardware on a yacht’s deck) but also guarantees resistance to salt, weather, and mechanical stress. Stainless steel is the material of choice for professional marine equipment because it doesn’t degrade over time and maintains structural integrity even after years of exposure.

The globe (lens) of the light is made of clear polycarbonate or a special acrylic – these materials are impact-resistant and won’t yellow under UV exposure. They have been tested for impact (e.g., hail or accidental blows from lines) and long-term sun exposure, ensuring they don’t crack or cloud. Internal seals and potted electronics ensure watertightness – the light meets IP66 or IP68 ratings, meaning heavy rain, sea spray, and even temporary submersion won’t ingress into the unit.

LED technology and performance: At the heart of the unit is a high-efficiency LED bulb/module (replaceable) that emits a bright white light all around. This LED draws about ~1.7 W yet is equivalent in brightness to a traditional bulb of roughly 10–15 W – thus you achieve the required visibility (~2 NM for anchor lights on <50 m vessels) at about 1/6th to 1/8th of the power consumption. The LED source has an expected lifespan of over 50,000 hours, which practically eliminates the need for replacement over the life of the vessel. It’s designed to operate on both 12V and 24V DC, making it universal – no risk of mismatch on yachts with different electrical systems.

Efficiency and safety: The low power draw (under 0.2 A @ 12V) is a huge advantage, especially on large vessels where many systems demand electricity. Leaving your anchor light on all night hardly dents the batteries, unlike older 25W lamps which could significantly discharge them by morning. Additionally, LED light emits very little heat – the housing stays cool, eliminating any risk of melting components or causing fire in the event of a fault. As an extra safeguard, the electronics include reverse-polarity protection and voltage regulation – so any fluctuations in supply (e.g., from chargers) won’t harm the LED.

RINA Certification: This light comes with official RINA certification (Registro Italiano Navale) – a respected international classification society. The type approval means a sample of the product has passed lab tests for photometric output, waterproofness, vibration and shock, electromagnetic compatibility, etc., according to the standards for navigation lights. RINA approval for “boats up to 50 m” specifically indicates that the light is suitable for and compliant with the rules for vessels up to that length (for instance, minimum 2 NM visibility for anchor lights on vessels <50 m). This makes it appropriate not only for private yachts but also for registered commercial and passenger vessels in this class.

Installation and use: The light can be mounted on a mast or superstructure (for example, on a radar arch or atop the flybridge on larger yachts). It is typically placed as high as possible and clear of obstructions to cover the full horizon. Its “classic” construction implies a vertical mount (base at the bottom). Wiring is standard – two wires to an “Anchor Light” switch. The LED module is polarity-insensitive to a degree, but instructions specify correct hookup. The mounting holes (e.g., ~5 mm) are accessed by removing the top globe. The stainless steel cover also detaches for servicing (like changing the LED bulb) – though given the LED’s longevity, this is rarely needed.

Target users: This light is the ideal solution for large motor yachts, superyachts, small ships, and professional vessels (fishing boats, pilot boats, workboats, etc.) that require reliability and full regulatory compliance. For example, if you command a 40-foot/15-meter yacht, this light provides a higher margin of visibility (above the minimum) and durability comparable to commercial ship equipment. For an owner of a 20-meter yacht, it’s a natural choice, since smaller “under 20m” lights often have lower output – here you get a product of a higher class. Even for smaller boats (10–15 m), owners seeking the utmost quality may opt for this light – it will likely last the lifetime of the boat without replacement and offer maximum safety.

In summary, the classic 360° LED inox light combines traditional design (the classic anchor lamp form) with cutting-edge technology. This way, you get a look that suits any yacht and performance that meets modern standards for efficiency and safety. With it, your vessel will be conspicuous in any anchorage or harbor, and you can be confident in the reliability of your equipment.
