Overview

The Lumitec 101745 is a flush-mount LED flood light for deck, cockpit, and spreader lighting, built for 10-30 VDC systems and sealed to an IP67 rating. It outputs 1200 lumens with a flood beam pattern, draws up to 1.0A at 12V (0.5A at 24V), and is rated at 12W.

It uses a black-finish housing and a spring clip mounting system that leaves no exposed fasteners on the face once installed. On compatible models, dimming and color functions can be controlled from a standard on and off switch using timed toggles, and the light can integrate into Lumitec Poco digital lighting control through built-in PLI.

For fit planning, the body measures 4.08in wide, 1.39in high, and 1.43in deep, with an operating temperature range of -31F to +131F.

Key features

• 10-30 vDC input for 12V and 24V onboard electrical systems
• 1200-lumen output with a flood beam pattern for work and deck illumination
• Current draw up to 1.0A at 12V and 0.5A at 24V (12W rating)
• IP67-rated sealing for spray, rain, and washdowns in exposed mounting locations
• Spring clip, flush-mount installation with no exposed fasteners on the front face
• Timed toggle control from a standard switch for dimming and color features on compatible models
• PLI support for integration with Lumitec Poco modules on compatible models

Compatibility and fit

This is a flush-mount style light meant to sit clean on a hardtop, arch, tower, or similar flat mounting surface. With an overall size of 4.08in wide by 1.39in high and 1.43in depth, confirm you have clearance behind the panel for the light body, wiring bend radius, and the spring clips.

The black finish blends well on dark tops and powder-coated structures, and it also helps keep glare down when the light is mounted within the skipper’s line of sight.

Installation and setup

Mounting uses spring mechanisms, so the light holds in place without front fasteners. Cut the mounting hole to the provided template, apply an RTV sealant bead on the back perimeter, connect power and test the light, then retract the springs and press the unit into the opening until it seats. Wipe away any visible sealant before it cures.

When routing wiring through towers or hardtops, leave a service loop and protect the cable where it passes through metal or fiberglass to avoid chafe from vibration.

Electrical and system integration

Wire it as a simple two-conductor DC load: red to +12VDC or +24VDC supply and black to negative or ground. Install it on a protected circuit with an appropriately sized fuse or breaker, and budget current draw using up to 1.0A per light at 12V (0.5A at 24V) when planning multi-light installs on a spreader bar or under a hardtop.

For boats using Lumitec Poco, PLI-equipped models can be brought into the lighting network for more granular control and scene management. If you are running only a switch leg, timed toggles allow access to dimming and color functions on compatible models without adding external control modules.

Use cases on board

This light fits well as a spreader or deck flood on sailboats, as an aft cockpit flood on center consoles, or as a general-purpose hardtop light for docking, rigging, and night fishing. It is a good match for owners who want a flush look, strong flood coverage, and sealing that stands up to salt spray and routine washdowns.

Maintenance and care

Rinse salt residue from the lens and housing after heavy spray days, especially in tower and hardtop installs. Periodically inspect the sealant line and wiring entry points, and rework any chafe protection before it turns into a fault.
