Mich. Admin. Code R. 281.1108 - Navigation lights; types; colors

Rule 8.

(1) The use of navigational lights is discretionary unless required as specified in the permit.

(2) When used, lights on solid colored buoys shall be regularly flashing, regularly occulting or equal interval lights. For ordinary purposes, the frequency of flashes may be not more than 30 flashes per minute. When it is desired that lights have a distinct cautionary significance, as at sharp turns or sudden constrictions in the channel or to mark wrecks or other artificial or natural obstructions, the frequency of flashes may be not less than 60 flashes per minute.

(3) When a light is used on a cardinal system buoy or a vertically striped white and red buoy, it shall always be quick flashing.

(4) The colors of the lights shall be the same as for reflectors; a red light only on a solid colored red buoy; a green light only on solid colored black buoy; a white light only for all other buoys including regulatory markers.
