Overview

The Lumitec 101236 is a flush-mount LED downlight with a glass lens and white/red/green output for overhead lighting on board. It runs on 10-30 VDC (12V or 24V systems), draws 6 W, and produces up to 380 lumens on white. The light is sealed to IP67 for wet areas and washdowns.

The face measures 3.25 in (8.25 cm) across, with a 2.00 in mounting hole requirement. Behind the panel, plan for about 1.11 in (2.81 cm) of depth and a body diameter up to 3.73 in (9.47 cm) to clear the spring clips and wiring.

Color changes are handled with timed on/off toggles from a standard switch, and the light is PLI enabled for integration with compatible Lumitec control systems.

Key features

• White/red/green output in one fixture for task lighting and night-friendly modes
• 10-30 VDC input for 12V and 24V DC systems
• 6 W draw with up to 380 lumens on white
• IP67 sealed for damp spaces and washdowns (not for permanent underwater mounting)
• 3.25 in face with a 2.00 in cutout; about 1.11 in depth behind the panel
• Spring-clip mounting for quick installs in headliners, hardtops, and consoles
• Polarity-sensitive two-wire hookup: black to negative, white or red to positive
• Timed Toggled Protocol (TTP) control from a standard on/off switch for mode changes
• PLI enabled for syncing and control in compatible Lumitec systems
• Plan circuit protection for up to 500 mA at 12 VDC (250 mA at 24 VDC) per light

Installation and setup

Cut a clean 2.00 in hole, confirm the backside has clearance for the spring clips, then pull the springs back and press the light into place until it seats. Leave enough slack in the wiring so the fixture can be pulled down later for service without yanking on connections.

If you are installing into a cored panel, seal the exposed core around the cutout to keep moisture from wicking into the laminate. On thin headliners, check that the spring clips have solid material to bite into.

Electrical and control

Wire the light directly to your DC distribution with an appropriately sized fuse or breaker, and size the protection based on the number of lights on the circuit. The unit is polarity sensitive, so verify positive and negative before powering up.

For control, the light can be switched with a simple SPST toggle or rocker. Quick off/on cycles step through the available output modes, while an off period of a few seconds returns the light to its default state.

Placement and use on board

This style of downlight is a common fit for cabins, heads, passageways, cockpits, T-tops, and helm overhangs where you want a clean overhead finish. Red and green modes are handy when you want lower visual impact at night while still seeing what you are doing on deck.

Maintenance and care

Rinse salt spray when practical and wipe the lens with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can haze the lens or mark the finish, and periodically check wiring connections if the fixture lives in a high-vibration area.
