Abstract
A pole light has a substantially tubular pole having two ends, a navigation light mounted at one end of the pole, and an ultraviolet light source positioned within the pole. The pole light is operable to emit ultraviolet light in an outward direction from the pole.
Claims15
A pole light, comprising:
- a substantially tubular pole having two ends;
- a navigation light mounted at one end of the pole;
- an electrical connector mounted at the other end of the pole, wherein the other end of the pole is adapted to fit into a base located in a watercraft such that the substantially tubular pole is substantially vertically oriented, and wherein the electrical connector is adapted to receive electrical power via the base;
- an ultraviolet light source positioned within the pole;
- and
- wherein the pole light is operable to emit ultraviolet light in an outward direction from the pole,
- wherein the pole has a slit adjacent to, and substantially aligned with, the ultraviolet light source, and wherein the ultraviolet light produced by the ultraviolet light source exits the pole through the slit.

A pole light, comprising:
- a substantially tubular pole having two ends;
- a navigation light mounted at one end of the pole, wherein the navigation light is either a bi-color navigation light or a white all-around light;
- an electrical connector mounted at the other end of the pole, wherein the other end of the pole is adapted to fit into a base located in a watercraft, and wherein the electrical connector is adapted to receive electrical power via, the base;
- an ultraviolet light source positioned within the pole;
- a power conditioning circuit connected between the electrical connector and the ultraviolet light source and configured to provide electrical power to the ultraviolet light source;
- and
- wherein the pole has a slit adjacent to, and substantially aligned with, the ultraviolet light source, and wherein ultraviolet light produced by the ultraviolet light source exits the pole through the slit.
