Claim:
1. A maritime navigation light apparatus, the apparatus comprising; a base; a pole element coupled to the base, the pole element having a proximal end coupled to the base and a distal end, the distal end terminating at a distal tip; a flexible circuit board wrapped around the distal end of the pole element, the flexible circuit board housing a plurality of light emitting elements radiating outwardly away from the pole element below the distal tip so that the light emitting elements generate light below the distal tip of the pole element; and a transparent impact resistant encasement formed over the exterior of both the flexible circuit board and a portion of the distal end of the pole element, the transparent impact resistant encasement in direct surface contact with the portion of the distal end of the pole element therefore providing impact protection for both the distal end of the pole element as well as the flexible circuit board.
