Navigation lights include bi-color bow lights, port and starboard running lights, stern lights, tri-color masthead lights, pole lights, all round lights, anchor lights and steaming lights. For kayaking at night, we also carry kayak lights. We also carry personal safety lights to help rescue crews spot you if you are ever separated from your boat.
Replacement LED Bulbs Make Retrofitting Incandescent Fixtures Easy
As mentioned, West Marine offers LED replacement bulbs. The bases of these bulbs are designed to fit almost any application on your boat, including double and single contact bayonets, G4, Bi-pin and festoon. LED replacements from Doctor LED and West Marine are plug-and-play replacements for your old incandescent bulb and draw much less power.
Portable Lights
Online and in our stores you will find high-powered flashlights, spotlights, headlamps and other portable lights. Wearing a headlamp is a great way to free both hands for the job when tackling tasks at night.
Among portable lights we also offer personal safety lights, designed to alert rescuers to the location of overboard crew.
Underwater Lights
Adding a set of underwater lights to your boat is a great way to enhance the nighttime ambiance of your boat; and for anglers, attract bait. Multi-color lights adjust to any mood and can be programmed to cycle through colors for a personal light show on the water.
