Overview

The Perko 1680DP012V is a 12V converter module used when upgrading an older incandescent combination masthead and white all-round light setup to a Perko LED combination masthead and anchor light while keeping the boat's original navigation light switching arrangement.

This is an accessory module, not the light itself. It is used in the circuit when a direct wire-for-wire swap from the older incandescent style to the newer LED style will not work. For boats with an existing switch panel that is already laid out and functioning the way the crew expects, this module gives you a cleaner path to the LED upgrade without changing the original switch logic.

Key features

• Built for 12V installations using Perko LED combination masthead and white all-round lights.
• Lets an LED upgrade keep the boat's original incandescent-style navigation light switching arrangement.
• Used when replacing an older incandescent combination masthead and all-round light with the newer Perko LED version.
• Works as the alternative to rewiring the existing switch to the LED light wiring diagram.

Compatibility and fit

Check two points before ordering: the navigation light circuit must be 12V, and the replacement fixture must be a Perko LED combination masthead and white all-round light being installed in place of an older incandescent combination light. This module is for that specific conversion path.

It is a good match for refits where the original switch arrangement is staying in service. If the plan is to rewire the switch panel to the LED light wiring diagram, this module is not the part that handles that approach.

Installation and setup

This module is added during the LED conversion so the new light and the existing switch logic work together correctly. That can save time on boats where the helm wiring is already finished, labeled, and tucked behind panels that are better left undisturbed.

For buyers upgrading a Perko incandescent combination masthead and anchor light to a Perko LED version on a 12V boat, this module helps keep the job focused on the light change instead of turning it into a wider switch-panel rewire.
