Overview
The Perko 1263DP1WHT is an exterior surface mount dome light with red and white bulbs for 12V boat systems. It uses an ivory PERKO KOTE zinc alloy housing with a clear lens, a 5 inch outside base, a 4 inch lens, and 1-7/8 inch overall depth, so it is easy to size for cabins, companionways, enclosed helms, and covered overhead mounting points.
A three-position toggle switch at the fixture lets you move between red, off, and white light. The red setting helps preserve night vision, which is useful at night around the helm or in the cabin. The supplied bulbs are 7 watts, the fixture draws 0.94 amps in use, and the maximum bulb rating is 18 watts.

Installation and fit
This light is a straightforward surface-mount option when you want the switch built into the fixture instead of adding a separate control point. Before ordering, check the mounting area for the 5 inch outside base and 1-7/8 inch depth, and confirm your boat uses a 12V lighting circuit.
The clear lens gives a broad utility light pattern rather than a tight beam, which works well in overhead positions where you want general light across a small cabin area, passageway, or cockpit entry.
Use on board
This is a good match for boat owners who want normal white cabin light and a red night-light mode in the same fixture. It suits cruising boats, fishing boats, and sailboats where night vision matters after dark and where a simple incandescent dome light still makes sense for cabin or helm-area lighting.
