24005 Peep-Pilot Locator Light, Blue

The Captain’s "Aiming Point": Provides a steady blue beam that acts as a reference point, allowing the tug operator to see the exact position and "swing" of the front of the barge in total darkness. Specialized Blue LED: Blue is used because it is easily distinguishable from shore lights, stars, and other vessel navigation lights, reducing "visual clutter" for the pilot. Directional Shielding: Designed to be visible primarily to the tug operator behind the barge, ensuring it doesn't blind other vessels or interfere with standard navigation rules. Low Profile & Rugged: Built to the same "Barge Lite" industrial standards—waterproof, impact-resistant, and ready for the extreme vibrations of a working tow. Automatic Photocell: Includes the "Dusk-to-Dawn" sensor, so it only turns on when the captain actually needs the visual reference at night. Weight & Specifications Weight (Empty): ~2.2 lbs (1.0 kg) Weight (With 4 D-Cell Batteries): ~3.5 lbs (1.6 kg) Battery Life: Extremely long-lasting; the blue LED consumes very little power, often lasting an entire season on one set of batteries. Mounting: Typically mounted on a pole or the "head" of the barge.
