Perko®, the premium marine navigation light and hardware manufacturer in Miami, FL., offering only "Made in the USA" products, recently introduced its newly designed EZ-Fold™ "All-Round" light for both hard tops and Bimini-style folding tops. The sleek styling of an embedded LED certainly sets it apart from older inferior lights using traditional light globes.
Its robust construction is enhanced by using toughened Nylon for its main base and locking components to ensure long lasting service in the marine environment. Michael DeLillo, vice president of sales and marketing says, “We wanted to improve on functionality, ease of use, installation flexibility, wire routing, and most important of all…how the product looks ON THE BOAT. We then developed a compact, clean and modern design.”
During the process of developing the design criteria, the discussions with end users, designers, and boat builders, all shared the same opinion, according to Perko. They indicated that the large “globe-like” light on top of an anchor or all-round navigation light, looked dated.
“[Regardless] of whether the vessel was a center console, pontoon boat, runabout, cruiser, or fishing boat, the research showed that nobody really wanted, or would be excited about a light with the look and design from almost 50 years ago,” DeLillo says. That customer input drove the Perko team to stay with their highly reliable integrated and compact LED light engine, which is essentially contained within the diameter of the pole itself.
Premium benefits and features, combined with a product entirely manufactured in the USA, should propel the EZ-Fold™ to be the top choice for all American boatbuilders looking to purchase American made components and support American jobs and industry. EZ-Fold™ lights also meet US Coast Guard regulations and are ABYC C-5 compliant, NMMA type accepted, and offered at a reasonable price, making this light an E-Z choice.
