Re: Stus-List Running Lights >Approved LED bulbs

It is more complex than that. A power driven vessel under 12 meters can use an all-around white light in lieu of masthead and stern. Over 12 but less than 50 meters it must have masthead and stern. Over 50 and it needs two masthead lights and a stern light. And various types of power driven

Re: Stus-List Running Lights >Approved LED bulbs

A Masthead light is white and covers an arc of 225 degrees facing forward and is at least 2 meters above your navigation and stern lights. If you have a power driven vessel less than 12 meters, under rule 23 you can use an all-around white light instead of the masthead light and stern light.
