Gear: Accon Bow Light for Safety
May 22, 2025
Late at night or in the early hours of the morning, boaters need reliable navigation lights to ensure their safety. Accon Marine’s innovative Pop-Up® C-5 Approved Bow Light combines the convenience of a retractable fitting with the rugged construction and stringent testing needed for ABYC C-5 compliance.
The Pop-Up C-5 Approved Bow Light is NMMA type accepted, meets COLREG 72 and is Coast Guard-approved for two nautical miles. Yet with all its brightness, the powerful red and green LEDs consume a mere 0.73–0.97mA of power.
Manufactured from polished marine-grade 316 stainless steel for low maintenance and a premium appearance, the light folds down flush into its base when not in use, creating a clean, snag-free deck. When needed, a simple press of the integrated release button instantly extends the light into its 2.15″ operating position.
Installing the pre-wired C-5 light is simple. The 4.43″ x 4″ base requires a 3.5″ hole and is held in place with three #10 stainless steel screws. An optional plastic waterproofing cup prevents unwanted runoff below the deck. For owners upgrading from older Accon bow lights, the cutout/hole pattern is identical.
