Vimar Plana TORCIA Emergency Hand Lamp, 120V, Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery, 2h Runtime, Charging Socket Outlet, 2-Module, White Finish

Overview

The Vimar VM14396 is a built-in emergency hand lamp with a charging socket for 120 V~ (50-60 Hz) systems. It keeps a rechargeable Ni-MH battery topped up while docked, then gives you a grab-and-go light source during a power loss with an automatic emergency function.

Light output comes from a non-exchangeable LED with a maximum system power of 1 W, and the battery runtime is rated up to 2 hours. The unit is Class II and rated IP40, which suits protected interior spaces where you want a dedicated emergency light point without using up countertop or locker space.

The front face measures 44.80 mm wide by 49.00 mm high/deep, with built-in dimensions of 44.80 mm by 39.50 mm. The housing is plastic in a white finish, matching clean cabin and wheelhouse installations.

Key features

• 120 V~ (50-60 Hz) supply for fixed onboard AC installations
• Automatic emergency function to keep light available during unexpected outages
• Replaceable, rechargeable Ni-MH battery with up to 2 hours of operating time
• Non-exchangeable high-efficiency LED, maximum system power 1 W
• Built-in mounting format with an integrated charging socket to keep the lamp docked and ready
• IP40 protection rating and Class II construction for interior electrical safety in protected locations
• Compact face size (44.80 mm x 49.00 mm) with built-in dimensions (44.80 mm x 39.50 mm) for tight panels

Compatibility and fit

This hand lamp is intended for vessels with a 120 V AC system. The IP40 rating points it toward dry, protected areas such as the cabin, wheelhouse, nav station, or inside a distribution area where it stays sheltered from spray, washdowns, and direct weather exposure.

Before cutting in, confirm you have the required built-in dimensions and enough clearance behind the panel for the unit depth and wiring. Planning placement near companionways or near the main electrical area helps keep it easy to reach when the boat is dark.

Installation and setup

The built-in body is meant to sit flush in a panel opening and be wired to the onboard 120 V AC supply so the lamp can charge while docked. Once installed, store the lamp in its socket so the battery stays maintained and the emergency function is available.

After installation, do a quick functional check by removing the lamp and verifying operation, then re-seat it to confirm charging behavior. For any AC wiring changes on board, use appropriate marine practices and protection for the circuit feeding the unit.

Use cases on board

This setup makes sense for crews who want a fixed, always-known location for emergency lighting, especially on cruising boats, working boats, or larger yachts with multiple compartments. It is a practical fit for interior routes where you may need hands-free movement while carrying the lamp from its dock to a panel, locker, or berth area.

Maintenance and care

Keep the docking contacts clean and dry so charging remains consistent. If runtime drops noticeably over time, the Ni-MH battery is replaceable, which helps you restore performance without changing the whole unit.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
