You need to know the basics of navigation lights if you want them installed on your boat. A boat light should not be too bright because it could damage the eyes of the operator. An option is to mount the navigation light on a mast/pole. The best choice is LEDs because they don't affect the night vision nor damage the boat’s mounting features. This added safety feature is a plus. Moreover, LED lights are easy to install.
LED lights are much more efficient than traditional incandescent lamps and draw less power. Many modern LED anchor light designs draw less power than traditional 2 nautical mile (nm), incandescent lights. This is a 90% decrease in power draw.
