Overview

The i2Systems APL-2W-30K-PW1 is a round screw-mount LED downlight with warm white (3000K) output and a white finish trim for cabins, cockpits, and other overhead locations on a boat. It draws 2.5W, throws a 90 degree beam, and measures 3.50 inches across with a 1.34 inch mounting depth, which helps when headliner space is tight.

The screw-mount design uses a removable bezel, so you can service the fixture without fighting spring clips. An IP67-rated build handles spray and routine washdowns, but it is not meant for underwater or other submersible installations.

Key features

• Warm white light (3000K) with a 90 degree beam for general downlighting and courtesy lighting
• Screw-mount installation with a removable bezel; mounting depth is 1.34 inches
• 3.50 inch round fixture size for common overhead panels and hardtop liners
• IP67 rating for wet areas and washdowns; not for submersible use
• Stainless steel construction with a titanium-coated trim bezel in a white finish
• Simple 2-wire hookup that works with existing wiring and an on/off switch; 2.5W draw per fixture

Installation and setup

Leave enough clearance behind the mounting surface for the 1.34 inch depth and for routing the two conductors without sharp bends. In wet overheads, use tinned marine wire and sealed connectors, then support the wiring so it cannot chafe under vibration.

After fastening the fixture, the bezel can be removed later for access, which is handy for refits where the headliner or overhead panel is difficult to pull down.

Where it works well on board

This style of downlight is commonly used under hardtops and arches, in cockpits, in pilot houses, and along walkways where you want warm-white illumination that feels comfortable at night. It is a good match for boats that need a shallow downlight and want to keep the existing switch circuit while upgrading to LED.

Care and cleaning

Rinse salt residue with fresh water and wipe with mild soap. Skip abrasive pads or aggressive solvents so the trim finish stays in good shape.
