[0002] Navigation lights refer to the signal lights used by aircraft or ships to indicate their position and direction of movement when sailing at night, so as to facilitate mutual avoidance and identification. Ships are equipped with red lights on the port side, green lights on the starboard side, and white lights on the mast and stern; non-motorized ships are equipped with sidelights; wooden sailboats are only equipped with a white light.
