I want to replace my nav lights. the masthead light that I currently have only shows forward..... does anyone know of a manufacture that makes either a double tier light that has the steaming light showing forward, and has an all around anchor light on top?....
OR, one that has a forward facing bulb and a rearward facing bulb on seperate wires?....
I can wire it to show either forward or all around if I could just find the right unit.
what is the best choice for a small led bi-color LED for the bow. I currently have a small perko that is about 1.75 inches in diameter with a 2.25 diameter base..... it is the same size as the masthead light and the stern light.... It would be so nice to find direct LED replacements for these, but with the addition of an all around white masthead light....
if there are no direct replacments for these, what are the best options?

you can make your own by bolting an anchor light on top of a steaming light fixture.

if i could find two lights that were reasonably stackable that would work great..... but it is an option that i havent thought about....I can make any "all around" light into a steaming light.... it gives me more ideas. thank you...

Aqua signal series 32 LED Navigation light. AQSIG# 32706-7. No cheap, but there is no price for safety.security. SBO should have it, if not cheap West marine model number 8633349. I have on on my J-36. Light weight and easy to install.

I'm pretty sure I've seen what you're looking for. It is a 360, but divided into 2 sectors and 2 bulbs so you have the steaming and anchor in one unit. Still, you need 3 wires. Not sure where I saw that, maybe in 'new items' in a magazine?

Just do away with the steaming light. Put one, 360 degree white light at the top of your mast ( use it with you bow lights when under motor, and by itself when anchored). When under sail you use your stern white light (135 degrees) and your bow lights. With this config you meet the requirements with the min amount of light fixtures (which means fewer wires, swirtches, etc).

cuscus is right

The requirements are for the minimum. There is absolutely no reason you cannot use a single all round light as both steaming and anchor light.
