Overview

The Lumishore 010-04468-00 is a flush-mount LED courtesy light that adds blue step lighting in places like companionways, cockpits, and helm footrests without throwing glare across the deck. It runs on 12V DC systems only (10 to 15V DC) and draws up to 0.1A, so it is easy to add to an existing lighting circuit.

The light uses 3 x 0.5W blue LEDs and produces about 45 fixture lumens. The bezel is 33mm (1.3 in) across with a 30mm (1.18 in) mounting depth, and it is fully sealed for indoor spaces and outdoor wet areas, but it is not meant to be permanently submerged.

Key features

• Blue single-color courtesy light output (3 x 0.5W LEDs, about 45 fixture lumens).
• 12V DC only operation (10 to 15V DC) with up to 0.1A draw.
• Two-wire hookup with an internal driver, plus protection for common onboard electrical faults (reverse polarity, low-voltage, surge).
• Flush bulkhead or panel mounting with a 33mm (1.3 in) bezel and 30mm (1.18 in) depth behind the panel.
• Designed around a nominal 1 in bulkhead cutout (about 22.5 to 23mm) for an easy retrofit.
• Suitable for indoor spaces and outdoor wet areas; not intended for permanent submersion.
• Works with a simple On/Off switch or with an ECLIPSE Command Center for dimming and zone control.
• Ignition protected to ISO 8846 for use around gasoline fumes when installed correctly.

Installation and setup

Mount on a flat surface so the lens seals evenly. A snug mechanical fit matters, so cutting slightly undersize and filing to final size helps the retaining hardware seat properly behind the panel.

Use clear marine sealant between the lens and the mounting surface, and between the retaining nut and the back of the panel. Wire red to a fused positive feed and black to DC negative. When stringing multiple lights, size the cable to keep voltage drop under 3% to the last light.

Control options

On a basic switch circuit, the light can be dimmed by toggling the switch. Turning the switch off for about 2 seconds resets it back to full output the next time it is powered.

With an ECLIPSE Command Center, the light can be grouped into zones for on/off and dimming control from compatible interfaces. It should not be connected to third-party lighting controllers or dimmers.

Use cases on board

This style of blue courtesy lighting is commonly used to mark steps, toe-kicks, and passageways where preserving night vision matters on night runs. The low current draw also makes it practical for leaving on while boarding at the dock or moving around at anchor.

Maintenance and care

Rinse with fresh water after washdowns and clean with mild soap and water. Avoid chemical cleaners on the lens and around the seal areas.
