Perko Masthead/All-Around Lights with Removable & Telescoping Bases

Perko Masthead & All-Around Lights with Removable & Telescoping Bases

Perko has been at the forefront of marine lighting since its founding in 1907 — and masthead and all-around lights with removable and telescoping bases represent one of the most practical, safety-critical categories in their expansive catalog. With over a century of engineering refinement behind every product, Perko brings a level of trust and compliance to this category that few brands can match.

Why Removable & Telescoping Base Lights Matter

A masthead or all-around light isn't just a courtesy on the water — it's the law. These lights help you see and be seen by other vessels in the dark and are required from sunset to sunrise and in poor visibility conditions. Removable and telescoping designs add a critical practical dimension: they allow boaters to stow the pole while trailering, passing under low bridges, or when the light isn't in use, then redeploy it quickly when needed. For boats that regularly leave the water, this flexibility isn't a luxury — it's essential.

Perko's Lineup: Something for Every Vessel

Perko offers one of the broadest selections of pole light configurations in this category. Their product range includes the All-Round Plug-In Pole Light, the All-Round Stowaway Plug-In Pole Light with Base, the All-Round Telescoping Pole Light with Base, the Combination Masthead & All-Round Light, and the Delta Universal Pole Light. This variety allows boaters to match the right mounting solution to their vessel's layout and usage patterns.

Named product lines include the Inland Series, the Coastal Series, and the Stealth Series White All-Round Pole LED Light — each tailored to different performance expectations and vessel types. The telescoping models, for instance, offer height adjustability ranging from 24 to 54 inches, with rake options at 0° and 5° to accommodate different deck configurations, all engineered for compatibility with Perko's own plug-in bases.

Dual-Function Combination Lights

One standout feature of Perko's lineup is the combination masthead and all-around light. A single fixture functions as a masthead light while under power and as an all-round light while at anchor. Perko's combination light can be used as a 20-point white masthead or a 32-point white all-around on sailboats and powerboats less than 20 meters (65.6 ft.) in length. This dual-function design reduces the number of fixtures needed on the boat while maintaining full USCG compliance.

Built to Comply, Built to Last

Perko has been guiding vessels across the globe with some of the most dependable navigation lights in the marine industry, designed to be affordable and well-made while meeting current US Coast Guard requirements. As the first domestic manufacturer to pass UL 1104 , Perko's lights carry a legacy of certified quality. If the name Perko is on a product, that product was made right here in the USA.

Materials range from chrome-plated zinc alloy and anodized aluminum poles to polymer bases with reduced-glare optics, ensuring that both form and function hold up to the harsh marine environment. Whether you're rigging a center console, a sailboat, or a trailerable fishing boat, Perko's masthead and all-around lights with removable and telescoping bases offer the compliance, durability, and versatility that serious boaters demand.
