Because the enclosure is IP40, avoid lockers that see dripping water, wet foul-weather gear, or routine washdowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower is taken from a 230 V AC circuit like other recessed wiring accessories. On boats, it is typically installed on the shore-power side of the system or on an inverter-fed AC circuit, depending on when you want it available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the torch docked, it doubles as an auxiliary light during a blackout, which helps when you need hands-free light to check the electrical panel, find flashlights, or move through the cabin safely. Undocked, it works as a portable hand lamp for quick checks in cabins, bilge access points, or storage areas that stay dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a good match for boats that run a 230 V AC system and want a dedicated place to keep an emergency torch charged, without relying on loose chargers and spare batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCharging and maintenance\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe slide switch and the red or green indicator show whether the auxiliary lighting function is disabled or enabled while charging. If the boat will be left with the AC supply off for an extended time, set the switch to the off position to reduce battery discharge while docked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Ni-MH battery pack is replaceable. When replacing the battery, keep connector polarity correct and dispose of used batteries through appropriate battery recycling channels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269550600373,"sku":"QBP875800","price":206.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300333_qbp875800.jpg?v=1771544551","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp875800","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
