Attwood Marine LightArmor Plug-In Light Base, Threaded Locking System

Overview

The Attwood Marine LightArmor Plug-In Base is a plug-in base range for Attwood pole lights, with 2-pin and 3-pin versions available in round, teardrop, and rectangle shapes. It gives boat owners a clean mounting point for an all-around pole light while keeping the pole connection tight during normal running, docking, and trailering.

The base uses a threaded design that works with the threaded locking collar used on Attwood pole lights. That threaded fit helps reduce the loose, rattling feel that can happen with worn or basic plug-in light bases, especially on boats that see chop, vibration, or regular trailer travel.

A low-profile top helps keep water from sitting on the base surface, which matters on open decks, transoms, gunwales, and other exposed mounting areas. The range also gives a choice of black or stainless steel finish so the base can match the boat’s trim and existing hardware more naturally.

Key features

• Plug-in base range for Attwood pole lights, including 2-pin and 3-pin configurations.
• Threaded connection works with Attwood threaded locking collars for a tighter pole fit.
• Helps reduce rattling while the boat is underway or being trailered.
• Low-profile top helps limit water pooling on the base surface.
• Available in round, teardrop, and rectangle shapes for different deck layouts and replacement needs.
• Black and stainless steel finish options help match common marine trim and hardware styles.

Variants

This LightArmor Plug-In Base range varies by shape, pin count, and finish. The shape affects how the base sits visually on the mounting surface, the pin count must match the pole light and wiring setup, and the finish changes the appearance around the deck or transom hardware.

Across the range, the plug-in base format and threaded LightArmor connection are the consistent elements. Confirm the existing pole light pin count and the mounting footprint before ordering, especially when replacing an older base or updating a light socket on a used boat.

Compatibility and fit

Pin count is the most important fit detail. A 2-pin base should be matched with a compatible 2-pin pole light, while a 3-pin base should be matched with a compatible 3-pin pole light. The base shape should also be checked against the current cutout, screw pattern, and available flat surface around the installation point.

For retrofit work, compare the existing base shape and finish before removal. Round bases suit compact mounting spots, teardrop bases give a more directional visual shape, and rectangle bases are common where the deck or cap already has a rectangular mounting footprint.

Installation and use on board

This base is most relevant for boats that use a removable pole light for nighttime navigation, anchoring, or low-light operation. It is a practical replacement part for runabouts, fishing boats, center consoles, pontoons, and small cruisers where the pole light is removed for storage and plugged in only when needed.

Install it on a clean, flat surface where the pole light can stand upright without interference from rails, canvas, hatches, outboards, or fishing gear. Because the base is exposed to washdowns, spray, sun, and foot traffic, the mounting area should be sealed and supported in line with normal marine electrical installation practice.

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.
