This LED masthead anchor light with retractable pole and base is a state-of-the-art marine lighting solution that offers convenience, efficiency, and durability. The light assembly is crafted from impact-resistant polycarbonate with a marine-grade stainless steel (AISI 316) and ABS construction, ensuring it withstands saltwater, sun exposure, and harsh weather. The integrated LED technology emits a bright, all-around white light visible from all directions (360°) while drawing very little power – a crucial advantage for overnight anchoring or extended use after dark.
The design features a plug-in base with electrical connectors that is permanently mounted on your boat. Installation is straightforward – mount the base on a flat surface (typically at the stern or highest point of the boat such as a radar arch or cabin top) using screws and connect it to 12V or 24V power. The light’s pole then plugs into the base whenever needed, and the built-in contacts automatically provide power to the LED. When the pole is removed, the base stays in place with a low-profile cap that won’t obstruct covers or deck movement. This quick-disconnect system means you can deploy the light only when required and stow it safely at other times.
Because it uses an LED light source, even running the lamp all night consumes extremely little battery power – preserving your batteries and giving you peace of mind during long anchorage nights. Meanwhile, the LED bulb’s lifespan is very long and it is shock-resistant, which is a big benefit given the vibration and motion on a boat (unlike fragile filament bulbs).
Applications and Variants: This model caters to a wide range of boats and preferences, offering different pole heights and base finishes:
- 60 cm pole, Black base: Ideal for small boats (~5–8 m) or for mounting on raised surfaces (e.g., arches or cabin roofs) where a shorter pole still achieves the required visibility. The black base minimizes reflections/glare and blends well with dark trim or rails on the vessel.
- 60 cm pole, White base: Perfect for smaller craft (~5–8 m) with predominantly white decks/superstructures – the base matches the boat’s color scheme for a seamless look. The compact height is convenient when there are no tall obstructions on deck.
- 60 cm pole, Stainless steel base: Chosen for small boats (~5–8 m) whose owners seek a premium look and maximum durability. The polished stainless cover not only looks elegant but also adds extra UV and weather resistance for long-term use.
- 100 cm pole, Black base: Recommended for medium-sized boats (~8–12+ m) or for mounting on lower surfaces, where the taller pole ensures the light stays above any obstacles (cabins, flybridge, outboard motors, etc.). The black base reduces internal glare and is often preferred on boats with darker accents or structures.
- 100 cm pole, White base: Suited for medium-sized vessels (~8–12+ m) that require additional light elevation. The white base complements common white fiberglass decks and superstructures, maintaining a clean aesthetic while providing a higher light for better visibility.
- 100 cm pole, Stainless steel base: The top choice for larger yachts and motorboats (up to 20 m) or luxury vessels where maximum height and robustness are desired. The stainless steel base guarantees long-term corrosion resistance, and its polished finish enhances the boat’s high-end appearance.
Each configuration delivers a reliable, certified navigation light that meets international maritime regulations (COLREG). In practice, this means the light is sufficiently bright (typically visible ~2 nautical miles) and covers the proper arc of visibility for vessels under 20 m. With this LED anchor light setup, your boat will be clearly visible at night – whether you are anchored or underway (for smaller powerboats that use an all-round white light as a combined masthead/stern light).
Beyond personal use, this product is also excellent for professional applications – such as fishing vessels, tour boats, and workboats – where reliability and quick operation are critical. The removable pole makes maintenance and storage easy: you can stow the light when covering the boat or during road transport to prevent damage, and the LED technology means virtually no maintenance or bulb changes. By upgrading to this LED anchor light with a pull-out pole, you ensure superior visibility, safety, and convenience for your boating adventures.
