There are several annexes to COLREGS that end up at:

The colored Sidelights, green on the starboard side and red to port, should be installed above the deck level and clear of any combings.

The masthead or all-round light must be installed at least one meter / 3.3 ft above the sidelights.

The masthead or all-round white light, and the white stern light must be located as close as practically possible to the vessel's fore and aft centreline.

The only "one meter" requirement is the steaming light be above the sidelights. Ask the surveyor for chapter and verse.

Give the required annex a read ANNEX I: INTERNATIONAL POSITIONING & TECHNICAL DETAILS OF LIGHTS & SHAPES it prescribes in detail the required light scheme, and is made part of the rules of the road.

Looking for replacements for this cabin dome light. Any tips on where to get them here in the USA?
Sorry about the dark pictures.

Go to Marine Beam for replacement LED bulbs for existing fixtures.

I found the site but not the fixture.
I believe this would be great and perhaps even better than the original in case I don't want all the salon lights on at once. The switch is a nice touch.
What do you guys think?
