Attwood LightArmor 2-Mile Navigation Sidelight, Green - Deck Mount

In this review the Attwood LightArmor 2-Mile Navigation Deck Mount Sidelight is evaluated for small to mid-size boat owners seeking a compact, corrosion-resistant starboard light with U.S.C.G.-certified visibility. The single biggest reason to buy is its dependable, bright green LED output housed in a round 304 stainless steel shell that resists water and corrosion while providing a telltale indicator to confirm illumination. For boats up to 65.6 ft, the unit balances durability, a neat footprint, and long-lasting LED performance for routine navigation use.

Key Features

• 304 stainless housing: The round, compact housing offers corrosion resistance and a clean look that complements most deck layouts.
• U.S.C.G.-certified 2-mile visibility: Provides the legal level of visibility required for safe nighttime navigation on vessels up to 65.6 ft.
• Green starboard lighting: Delivers a bright, easily seen green LED beam for clear port/starboard identification at night.
• IP67 water resistance: The corrosion- and water-resistant construction protects the electronics from immersion and harsh marine conditions.
• Telltale indicator: A small indicator on the housing confirms the light is illuminated, simplifying checks from the helm or dock.
• Cool-running LED: The durable LED element stays cool to the touch and offers a long service life with low maintenance.

Who It's For

The Attwood LightArmor sidelight is well suited for recreational boaters, fishing boats, and day cruisers with vessels up to 65.6 ft (20 m) who want a durable, compact, U.S.C.G.-certified starboard light. It is a good choice when a stainless housing and a tidy deck profile are priorities, and for owners who value a visible telltale and low-maintenance LED technology.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of larger commercial vessels that require different rated lights, or buyers who need included mounting screws and hardware as some customers report mixed feedback about assembly hardware or missing fasteners. It is not intended as a multi-color or decorative deck accent light.
