Combo and Separate Sidelights
Sidelights must be visible from dead ahead to 22.5 degrees abaft the beam and produce at least 4.3 candelas of light to meet their rating. They can be mounted under the sheer line or above, on any structure, as long as the arc of illumination is correct and they are at least one meter below the stern light. Lights below the sheer line must meet a higher submersible standard for water resistance than lights above the sheer. Technically the red and green sidelights should never be visible at the same time, but they often are — especially in combo sidelights.
