Pactrade Marine LED Flush-Mount Sidelight Pair — Red & Green Shark Eye, 12V 2NM Visibility, 304 Stainless

These are Pactrade Marine stainless-steel flush-mount LED sidelights: a red port and green starboard pair engineered for reliable 12V navigation visibility up to 2 nautical miles.

Modern small boats, pontoons, skiffs and sailboats need compact, durable sidelights that meet regulations without adding weight or complex wiring. Pactrade Marine’s Shark Eye teardrop sidelights combine a mirror-polished 304 stainless-steel housing, polycarbonate lens and low-power LEDs to deliver a corrosion-resistant, splashproof navigation solution certified to USCG and COLREG standards.

How bright and far can these sidelights be seen?

Each lamp uses multiple high-efficiency LED beads tuned to red or green and a 112.5° beam angle to provide clear side illumination. Rated visibility reaches approximately 2 nautical miles, meeting common small-vessel requirements.

• Green effective output ~61.5 lumens; red ~19 lumens
• 3 green LEDs per starboard unit, 3 red LEDs per port unit
• 112.5° beam spread for side coverage
• Designed to satisfy 2NM visibility rules

Will these lights withstand marine conditions and last over time?

The housing is fabricated from 304 stainless steel with a polished finish and a durable polycarbonate lens, offering resistance to corrosion, impact and magnetic interference. Each fixture is sealed to an IP65 rating to resist spray and rain, while the low-wattage LED design reduces heat and extends service life.

• 304 stainless-steel, mirror-polished for corrosion resistance
• IP65 splashproof sealing to prevent moisture ingress
• Impact- and shock-resistant construction
• LED lifespan approximately 100,000 hours

How easy is installation and what electrical specs should I know?

Installation is straightforward with the supplied pre-wired pigtail harness and surface- or vertical-mount options for flexible placement. The lights run on 12V DC, draw under 1 watt each and use standard color-coded wiring for quick hookup.

• Working voltage: DC 12V; wattage: 1W per lamp
• Black wire = negative (-); red wire = positive (+)
• Flush or vertical mount with included wiring harness
• Low power draw protects small battery systems

Are these sidelights certified for use on recreational boats?

Yes — the pair has been developed to conform with marine navigation requirements for small vessels and carries approvals that simplify legal compliance. The fixtures meet several accepted standards for visibility and construction used by recreational boaters and small commercial craft.

• USCG-compliant visibility for 2 nautical miles
• Certified to IMO COLREG 72 and ABYC A-16
• NMMA type-accepted item
• Suitable for powered and sailing small craft up to the recommended size

Who is this for? Boaters who want a compact, regulation-compliant sidelighting option with minimal power draw and long service life will appreciate these Pactrade Marine Shark Eye flush-mount sidelights. They are ideal for owners of small powerboats, pontoons, skiffs and sailboats seeking corrosion resistance, easy installation and certified nighttime visibility without heavy electrical loads.
