Abstract
An anchor light used to fulfill coast-guard requirements consists of a lighting source, a lighting pole, a mounting plate, and a swivel mechanism. The lighting source is terminally connected to the lighting pole. Moreover, the lighting pole is rotatably engaged with mounting plate through the swivel mechanism so that the lighting pole can be positioned at a preferred angle. The swivel mechanism is laterally connected to the mounting plate which is mounted onto an external surface on the boat. More specifically, the mounting plate is mounted onto an anchor used on the boat. Upon establishing a connection between the anchor and the mounting plate, the user can utilize the swivel mechanism to rotate the lighting pole and connected lighting source to a preferred position.
