Perko “Reduced Glare” Replacement Pole Light – 42-inch for Straight Base

The Perko Inland Series “Reduced Glare” Replacement Pole Light with a 42-inch height is engineered specifically for the maritime environment. The “Reduced Glare” design aids boat operators by helping to preserve their night vision during nocturnal outings. What sets this light apart is that it focuses the beam of light above the operator's line of sight, which effectively minimizes glare. This design principle not only enhances the operator's ability to navigate at night but also mitigates safety risks associated with excessive glare.

The attractiveness of the Perko pole light to onboard operators does not end with its glint-reducing feature. The design also significantly decreases the radial dispersion of light outside the necessary visibility zone for navigation, which in turn results in attracting fewer bugs—a common issue with standard marine lights. This can enhance comfort during nighttime boating excursions.

The Perko Replacement Pole Light comes with several key features:

• Stow-A-Way Plug-In Pole: Allows for easy removal and storage when not in use.
• Clear Fitted Globe: Helps to radiate a clean and clear light.
• Black Polymer Top: Adds a sleek design which is matched by the toughness of the material suited for a marine environment.
• Locking Collar: Provides an additional safety feature to ensure the light remains securely in place.
• 12 Volt Bulb Included: This provides convenience and ensures compatibility with the electrical systems of many boats.
• Anodized Pole Material: Offers corrosion resistance and durability, which is essential in a saltwater environment.
• Pole Rake: Set to 0° to fit a straight base, this allows for easy and versatile installation.
• Pole Diameter: A standard 3/4″, which is a common size for many boat light fixtures.
