Overview

The Attwood Marine 11794-7 is a handheld 12V LED spotlight built for boats that need a simple, portable light source without adding another fixed fixture. It uses a 5 watt LED, puts out up to 400 lumens, and plugs into a standard 12V accessory socket with a 10 foot power cord.

This is the kind of light that works well when you need to check the shoreline, find the launch area after dark, watch for shallow water, or pick out obstacles around the dock. The yellow and black housing is easy to spot in a locker or emergency kit, and the LED power indicator shows when the unit is receiving power.

Key features

• 12V operation with a cigarette-style accessory plug for boats that already have a matching outlet at the helm, in the cockpit, or in the cabin
• Up to 400 lumens from a 5 watt LED for close-range and general nighttime visibility on board
• 10 foot power cord gives more freedom to move the light where it is needed instead of being tied to the outlet location
• LED power indicator confirms the light is receiving power before use
• Yellow and black housing is easier to find quickly in low light or emergency storage

Compatibility and fit

This spotlight is a good match for boats with a 12V accessory receptacle and for owners who want a portable light rather than a hardwired searchlight. It is not the right choice for a 24V-only system unless the boat already has a suitable 12V outlet or converter in place.

Because it is handheld, there is no deck cutout, bracket, or permanent mounting position to plan around. The main fit question is whether your boat has the correct 12V socket and whether a 10 foot cord gives enough reach from that outlet to the areas you want to illuminate.

Use on board

This light makes sense for small runabouts, center consoles, trailer boats, and sailboats that need a portable beam for docking, loading gear after sunset, or keeping a backup light on board. It also suits boaters who want a spotlight that can be stowed away and grabbed quickly when visibility drops.
