	Navigation
		On a vessel, navigation lights are lights shown that are of a specific color, (white, red, green, yellow, blue), arc, range of visibility, and location, as required by law and regulations.
		Lights also indicate the relative heading of one vessel as seen from another, and give clues to her size, special characteristics, and/or current operations.
		It is the responsibility of the owner/operator of a vessel that she show the proper navigation lights for her size and the waters in which she is operating.

	Anti-glare all-round navigation light - Patent 5882109
		The navigation light of claim 4, wherein the upwardly and downwardly projecting perimeter walls are spaced radially inwardly of the lens and block light transmission through lower and upper portions of the circumferential lens respectively, whereby the direction of light transmission from the navigation light is generally limited to a plane.
		The navigation light of claim 8, wherein the orientation of the marine navigation light with respect to the connector is fixed.
		The light assembly generally includes a base, a circumferential lens having a lower end which is secured to the base, a cap which is secured to an upper end of the circumferential lens, and a light bulb and light bulb fixture disposed within the navigation light.

	Michigan Boating License and Boat Safety Course - Navigation Light Requirements
		The different types of navigation lights are described in Night Navigation in Chapter 3.
		No other lights that may be mistaken for required navigation lights may be exhibited.

	Legal Requirements - Navigation Lights
		Specific lighting configurations are required for vessels operating between sunset and sunrise or in times of restricted visibility.
		An anchor light for a vessel less than 50 meters in length is an all-around white light visible for 2 miles exhibited where it can best be seen (see Figure 7).
		The "A" flag is a navigation signal indicating the vessel's restricted maneuverability and does not pertain to the diver.

	Navigation Lights - Sidelights - Nautical Know How
		Since most manufacturers routinely equip the boats they produce with navigation lights, navigation light installations are routinely inspected and discussed during factory visits and boat shows.
		When separate red and green sidelight fixtures are used, the masthead or all-round white light, whichever configuration is installed, must be located as close as practical to the vessel's fore and aft centerline.
		For vessels less than 12 meters in length, the masthead or all-round light may be displaced from the fore and aft centerline providing that the sidelights are contained within a common fixture and mounted on the vessel's fore and aft centerline.

	Navigation Lights - Boats, Yachts - Yacht Survey Online
		The second most common problem is that the lights weren't installed right in the first place, or the builder installed something that obscured the light.
		The third most common problem is that the lights are so puny, such cheap-ass crappy pieces of junk that one might just as well rip them off an throw them overboard for all the good they do.
		Picking out the lights of a moving vessel from a background of dozens or even hundreds of lights is very difficult, if not even impossible.
