Shakespeare Comm-Light 6.5-Foot Lighted VHF Antenna

The Shakespeare Comm-Light 6.5-Foot Lighted VHF Antenna does double duty as functional VHF hardware and a real style statement, built for boaters who want their antenna to actually look good while it works rather than just disappear into the background. A full RGB color spectrum, saved presets, and pulsating dynamic modes give this antenna deep lighting customization, whether that's a subtle accent color while cruising at night or a full light show pulsing along with music at anchor.

Controlling all of that lighting runs through a dedicated app on both the Apple and Android stores, and installation is deliberately kept simple: no complex wiring runs are needed to get the lighting system working alongside the antenna's core VHF function. Underneath the lighting, this is still a genuine performance antenna, built on brass and copper radiating elements that keep range and reception solid, all wrapped in a smooth, high-gloss PMMA tube on a stainless steel ferrule.

Electrically, the antenna delivers 6dB of gain across a 5 MHz bandwidth centered on 156.8 MHz, putting real VHF performance behind the visual upgrade rather than sacrificing one for the other.

6'6" height, one section, 50W maximum power input. Includes 15' RG-58 cable with PL-259 connector and a 25' two-piece power cable with controller. Suggested mounts: Shakespeare Style 4187, 4187-HD, 5187, or 6187 (sold separately).
