It runs on 10-30 VDC and is U.S. Coast Guard approved for 2 NM visibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis light is meant for retrofit and new installs where you do not have (or do not want to cut) an inset pocket. The housing sits low at 1 in tall, with an overall size of 4.5 in wide by 2.1 in deep, and it draws 18 mA at 12V or 12 mA at 24V (rated 1.5 W).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface-mount composite stern light for installs where a recessed pocket is not practical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite output with U.S. Coast Guard approval for 2 NM visibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10-30 VDC input for 12V and 24V electrical systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow current draw: 18 mA at 12V, 12 mA at 24V (rated 1.5 W)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact profile for transom mounting: 4.5 in wide x 2.1 in deep x 1 in tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range from -31 F (-35 C) to 131 F (55 C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite finish for a clean look on light-colored gelcoat and painted surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount it on a horizontal surface at the stern where the light can be seen clearly and is not blocked by outboards, dinghy hardware, ladders, or deck gear. On a transom install, plan wire routing so the cable is protected from chafe and stays supported so it does not flex at the entry point when the boat is moving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with any through-fastener on the exterior of a boat, seal the fastener holes and cable pass-through appropriately for your mounting surface to help keep water out of the core and wiring runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eElectrical and system integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a straightforward on and off navigation light. Wire it into your vessel lighting circuit and switch panel, using connections suited for the bilge and transom environment. The 10-30 VDC input range makes it a direct fit for most 12V and 24V DC systems without a separate driver box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are replacing an older stern light, confirm the circuit protection and wiring condition while you have the old fixture off. The low current draw can be a nice upgrade for boats that spend long evenings at anchor running nav lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck clearance at the mounting location before drilling, and measure against the housing size (4.5 in wide x 2.1 in deep x 1 in tall) so it lands cleanly on the surface and does not interfere with trim tabs, tie-down points, or transom doors. This model is intended for stern navigation lighting applications; confirm your vessel requirements and placement so your overall navigation light setup remains compliant for your boat and operating area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis light is a good match for owners refitting older surface-mounted stern lights, or for new builds where the transom design does not allow a molded pocket. It also suits boats that see regular salt spray and washdowns, where a sealed, low-profile fixture helps keep the stern tidy and easier to clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the exterior after saltwater use and check the mounting screws and sealant line during routine washdowns. If your stern area sees a lot of fishing gear contact, take a quick look now and then to make sure the lens face stays clear of nicks and heavy scuffing that can reduce light output.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lumitec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269699760309,"sku":"QBP569099","price":86.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1301029_qbp569099.jpg?v=1771545299","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp569099","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
