Attwood LightArmor 20-Inch Aluminum Pole All-Round Light

The Attwood LightArmor All-Around Light is a 20-inch aluminum pole light with a black vertical composite base, around 30% lighter than the all-round alternative.

Condensation management is the feature worth understanding, since it addresses the failure nobody expects. A sealed light still breathes as temperature changes, and moisture that gets in has nowhere to go. Fog builds inside the lens over seasons and dims the output without anything actually breaking.

An anti-glare engine preserves night vision rather than blinding whoever is at the helm each time the light comes on. That is a real problem on a small boat where the anchor light sits within a few feet of the person steering.

Twenty inches is the mid pole height, and the aluminum pole with a composite base saves around 30 percent of the weight. Less weight means less leverage on the base fitting, which is where a pole-mounted light works loose over time. Explore more navigation lights.
