Seachoice Side Lights: Built-In Safety for Every Voyage
When the sun goes down or visibility closes in on the water, your boat's side lights aren't just an accessory — they're a legal requirement and a lifeline. Seachoice has been a trusted name in marine accessories since 1988, and their lineup of side lights reflects the same commitment to compliance, durability, and straightforward installation that boaters have come to expect from the brand.
What Sets Seachoice Side Lights Apart
Seachoice's side lights are engineered to meet the regulatory standards that matter most on U.S. and international waterways. Both their traditional and LED sidelight models meet USCG requirements for 2 NM visibility, and they also satisfy ABYC A-16 requirements — the benchmark standard for marine electrical systems and lighting. This dual compliance gives sailors and powerboaters alike the confidence that their navigation lighting is fully up to code.
The flagship offering in this category is the Flush Mount Stainless Steel LED Sidelight set (sold as a pair), featuring a highly polished stainless steel housing that resists the harsh marine environment. The housing measures 7/4"L x 2-3/8"W with a 2-1/2" height — a compact, low-profile footprint that integrates cleanly into most hull designs. The LED variant runs on 12V DC and draws minimal current, helping protect your battery reserves during extended outings.
- 112° red and green lens coverage — the correct arc for sidelights per international collision regulations
- Flush-mount design for a clean, professional installation with no protruding hardware
- Water resistant construction suitable for the demanding saltwater and freshwater marine environment
- Bulb can be replaced from inside the boat, simplifying maintenance without hull access
- Replacement lenses and sockets available, extending the useful life of the fixture
LED Efficiency Meets Proven Compliance
Seachoice's LED side light line brings modern efficiency to a classic safety requirement. LED technology reduces power draw significantly compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, keeping the lights cooler and delivering longer-lasting output — an important consideration for overnight passages or extended trips away from shore power. The stainless steel housing resists corrosion and polishes to a finish that looks at home on everything from fishing skiffs to cruising sailboats.
The Seachoice Commitment to Boaters
Seachoice was founded by boating enthusiasts and continues to be run with boaters in mind. The brand backs its entire product line with a no-hassle warranty, and stocks products across 18 strategic locations in the U.S., Canada, and internationally so parts are available when and where you need them. Whether you're doing a routine refit, replacing a damaged light after a season on the water, or outfitting a new build, Seachoice side lights offer a dependable, standards-compliant solution that won't break the bank.
