Overview

The Lumitec 101492 is a high-output white LED spot/flood deck light with a bracket (trunnion) mount and white housing. It runs on 10-36V DC for 12V and 24V systems and puts out 20,000 lumens of white light at 5000K (CRI 70+).

The housing is sealed to IP67 to keep out water and dust, and it is built for shock and vibration that shows up on hardtops, masts, and commercial rails. Operating range is -35°C to 55°C, so it holds up from cold starts to hot summer decks.

Overall size is 7.8 in long by 13.7 in wide by 3.76 in deep, and weight is 12.05 lb. Plan for enough clearance to aim the light on its bracket without the beam getting blocked by antennas, outriggers, or canvas.

Key features

• 20,000-lumen white output in a spot/flood pattern that gives reach ahead while still lighting the working area
• 10-36V DC input for 12V and 24V boats; draws 17.5A at 12V or 8.75A at 24V
• 5000K color temperature with CRI 70+ for a white beam that helps you see detail on deck
• IP67 sealing for spray, washdowns, and dusty installs
• Non-dimming white output with no third-party dimmer compatibility
• Tested for shock and vibration for mounting locations that take impacts and constant motion
• Compact footprint for this output: 7.8 in x 13.7 in x 3.76 in

Installation and wiring

This is a DC light with two power leads: red positive and black negative. The power conductors are electrically isolated from the housing.

Because current draw is substantial on 12V systems, keep voltage drop in check and size wiring for the run length. A 3-5% voltage drop target is a practical baseline; for example, a 12V install with the light about 20 ft from the power source calls for at least 8 AWG conductors.

Protect the circuit with an external fuse or breaker matched to the wire gauge and expected operating current. Mount the light where it can get airflow for cooling; when airflow is restricted, the light can reduce power to protect itself.

Compatibility and fit

The wide input range makes it a straightforward match for most 12V and 24V DC distribution panels. If your boat uses PWM or external dimmers for other lights, plan to run this unit on its own switched circuit since it is a non-dimming model.

The bracket mount is a good fit for hardtops, arches, mast structures, and deck rails where you want to aim the beam. Verify the mounting surface can handle the load and that you have room for the 13.7 in width.

Use on board

This light is a strong match for boats that need serious working illumination at night, such as sportfishing boats setting lines, center consoles loading gear at the dock, or workboats running deck operations after dark. The spot/flood pattern is also useful when you want to pick out buoys or gear ahead while keeping the immediate work area lit.

Maintenance and care

Rinse salt off after heavy spray or washdowns and check bracket fasteners and electrical connections as part of regular topside inspections. Keep the lens clean to maintain output, and avoid aggressive solvents that can haze clear plastics.
