light list

An annual publication giving detailed information regarding lighted navigational aids and fog signals. In the United States, light lists are published by the U.S. Coast Guard as USCG Light Lists and by the Defense Mapping Agency Hydrographic/Topographic Center as List of Lights.

Since many charts have newest edition several years old, the light list is a way to keep charts updated on an annual basis. Weekly updates are given in the Local Notice to Mariners.

Light Lists are online at the USCG Navigation Center.
