The FB base keeps the installation low profile at about 92.5 mm diameter by 36 mm high, which helps when space is tight at the masthead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe light is IP68 rated and draws 2.6 W (about 150 mA at 12 VDC or 81 mA at 24 VDC). A 0.75 m shielded marine-grade cable is factory attached.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTri-color sector output: red 112.5 degrees, green 112.5 degrees, white 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 NM visibility rating for leisure sailboats under 12 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10-32 VDC input with low draw (2.6 W; 150 mA at 12 VDC, 81 mA at 24 VDC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP68 sealing for rain, spray, and washdowns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat base mounting supports fastening from the top or from underneath (three-hole pattern)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproved to COLREG72, EN14744, IEC 60945, and IACS E10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is offered in two housing finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe finish is the only difference between variants; mounting and electrical ratings remain the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e101-005W-FB - Finish Silver.

This style of light is commonly installed at the masthead on sailboats under 12 m.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe FB base supports fastening from the top using three 4.4 mm clearance holes, or from underneath using three M4 x 0.7 threaded holes (6 mm deep). Route the cable through the center and seal any mast penetrations so water cannot track down the wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnect to a 10-32 VDC supply on a protected lighting circuit and use sealed splices if you extend the lead. Minimum feed wire gauge is 0.5 mm2 (AWG 22); go larger if the run is long to keep voltage drop under control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaterials and environmental resistance\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe housing is anodized aluminum with a PMMA (acrylic) lens and A4 stainless steel screws. IP68 sealing and the use of epoxy and polyurethane compounds in the build help it stay stable in vibration and wet conditions, with an operating temperature range of -25°C to 55°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eOn-board fit and use cases\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match for sailors who want a single masthead tricolor when underway under sail and also want a tidy way to keep the Windex mount and navigation light together at the top of the spar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits coastal cruisers and race boats running 12 V or 24 V power who want low electrical draw without giving up clear sector definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the lens and housing with fresh water after saltwater use and wipe away salt film that can dull the lens. Periodically check the mounting screws and inspect the cable where it enters the spar for chafe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lopolight","offers":[{"title":"Silver","offer_id":52371104432309,"sku":"QBP594951-V1","price":809.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":52371104465077,"sku":"QBP594951-V2","price":809.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1319329_qbp594951.webp?v=1774059735","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp594951","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
