Attwood Marine Bi-Color, Tri-Color Bow & Steaming Lights

Attwood Marine Bi-Color, Tri-Color Bow & Steaming Lights

When it comes to nighttime boating safety, few decisions are more critical than the navigation lights you mount to your bow. Attwood Marine has built a long-standing reputation as one of the marine industry’s most trusted lighting manufacturers, and their lineup of bi-color, tri-color bow, and steaming lights reflects decades of engineering focused on visibility, durability, and regulatory compliance.

Purpose-Built Product Lines: LightArmor™, Pulsar, and Quasar

Attwood’s navigation lighting catalog is anchored by several distinct product families, each designed to address different boating environments and vessel types.

The flagship LightArmor™ series represents Attwood’s most refined approach to bi-color bow lighting. The LightArmor Bi-Color LED Navigation Light delivers premium styling, rugged durability, and outstanding visibility, designed for horizontal deck mounting and certified to meet U.S.C.G. requirements for 2 nautical miles of visibility. These lights are available in both polished stainless steel and pole-mount configurations, spanning angled and straight 10" and 14" pole lengths with 2-pin and 3-pin connectors to suit a wide range of deck bases.

One standout variant in the LightArmor family is the bi-color pole light with integrated task light. This model adds a narrow-beam white LED work light alongside the red/green bow lighting, enables greater function, and uses a three-pin connector that fits Attwood’s LightArmor plug-in bases. For anglers who need to rig a line or read a chart at the bow after dark, this integrated solution is a practical upgrade over a stand-alone navigation light.

The Pulsar and Quasar series round out Attwood’s bi-color offerings with deck-mount and stowaway plug-in options that prioritize quick, tool-free deployment and removal. When not in use, these lights can be removed from the base and stowed to prevent interference with fishing or anchoring — a feature especially valued by bass and walleye anglers who routinely work the bow.

LED Technology and Compliance Standards

Across the lineup, Attwood has transitioned to LED-first engineering. The LED light engines are rated for over 50,000 hours of energy-efficient operation and remain cool to the touch. Sharper cut-off angles and vibrant colors deliver certified 2 NM U.S.C.G. compliance. An IP67 rating ensures reliable operation in all weather conditions , making these lights suitable for both freshwater lakes and saltwater coastlines.

Attwood’s LightArmor bi-color lights meet ABYC Standard A-16 and are certified to CE and USCG requirements for 1 NM visibility on sail or powerboats under 39 feet. Higher-tier models in the stainless deck-mount family step up to 2 NM certification for larger vessels.

Universal-Fit Design and Easy Installation

One of Attwood’s most practical engineering decisions across their bi-color pole light range is the universal-fit locking collar system. The 2-pin locking collar pole is designed for use with a wide variety of Attwood 2-pin and 3-pin straight or angled bases , meaning boaters who already own Attwood bases can often upgrade just the light head without replacing the entire assembly. An anodized aluminum construction raises the light head for visibility above the trolling motor, anchor, or other equipment on the bow.

Whether you’re outfitting a center-console, bass boat, pontoon, or sailboat, Attwood’s bi-color and tri-color navigation lights offer a solution that balances regulatory compliance, longevity, and straightforward installation.
