PERKO Lighting

Cat. No. 1609 Series L.E.D. Reduced Glare
White All-Round Lights
Patent Pending
The above lights are designed for use on power driven vessels
under 20 meters (65.6 ft.) in length operating on a nominal 12 volt
system. In order to comply with ʻ72 COLREGS and the U.S. Inland
Rules, the following must be adhered to:
MOUNTING INFORMATION
Read all instructions before proceeding.
1). For proper light selection, positioning and configuration, refer to A.B.Y.C.
Standard A-16 (1), the ʻ72 COLREGS, and the U.S. Inland Rules (2).
2). These lights are designed to be mounted on horizontal tubing or rails 3/4” to
1-1/2” diameter.
3). Horizontal rotation of these lights is unimportant, as all-round lights have 360°
horizontal arc of visibility. However, aesthetically, mount the light as shown in
Diagram #1.
4). Using the base or the plastic mounting insulator as a template, place it on the
mounting surface such that the globe can be adjusted to a vertical position when
mounted.
5). Drill mounting holes for #8 round or panhead screws.
6). Attach supply connections to the light, making sure to wire in accordance with
both A.B.Y.C. Standard E-9* and U.S. Coast Guard Safety Standards for Boat
Electrical Systems (33 CFR 183)*. Observe Polarity
7). Mount the light. A self adhesive insert is provided to securely mount the light to
1-1/4” and 1-1/2” rails.
8). Adjust pole such that the light is in a vertical position during operation, in order to
assure compliance with the technical details of the regulations and employ the
“Reduced Glare” feature. See Diagram #2.
9).
These lights use white L.E.D.ʼs and therefore are not serviceable. The lens/globe
is permanently sealed and cannot be opened.
