Overview

The Lumitec 101606 is a flush-mount LED dome light that runs on 10-30 VDC and lets you switch between white and blue output by rotating the bezel.

It is sealed to an IP67 level, so it can be used in cabins or in exposed areas that see spray and routine washdowns. Power draw is about 290 mA at 12 VDC and about 160 mA at 24 VDC, which helps when you are planning circuit protection and how many lights to put on one run.

For layout and clearance, the face is about 4 inches in diameter and the light sits about 0.7 inches proud of the mounting surface.

Key features

• Select white or blue output by rotating the bezel; rotate and hold to dim the active color.
• 10-30 VDC input for common 12V and 24V onboard power.
• Approximate current draw: 290 mA at 12 VDC and 160 mA at 24 VDC.
• IP67 sealed construction for wet marine environments and washdowns.
• Flush-mount profile with about a 4 inch diameter face and about a 0.7 inch height.
• Simple 2-wire hookup for straightforward installs and retrofits.

On-board operation

Rotate the bezel about 30 degrees counterclockwise to bring up white light. Rotate a bit farther and hold to dim, then release when the level looks right. Rotate clockwise to access the blue output and dim it the same way.

Installation and setup

Connect the two supply wires to a fused DC circuit and plan fuse sizing based on the total number of lights on that run. In multi-light circuits, add up the current draw for each fixture so the protection matches the load.

Mount it where you can comfortably reach the bezel, since color selection and dimming happen at the light. After mounting, support the wiring behind the panel so vibration does not work the connections loose over time.

Compatibility and fit

This style of dome light works well for headliners, hardtops, berth overheads, consoles, lockers, and other overhead or under-surface locations where you want broad light without a bulky housing. The blue mode is useful when you want enough light to move around without the harsh glare that can ruin night vision.

Before cutting or committing to a location, confirm you have room for the 4 inch face and the roughly 0.7 inch profile, plus clearance behind the mounting surface for the wire connections.

Maintenance and care

Rinse salt residue when you can and wipe the lens with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive pads or strong solvents that can haze the window and make the light look uneven.
