i2Systems Ember Snap Mount Courtesy Light Back Body, 9-30V, IP67, 1.5W

Overview

The i2Systems Ember Snap Mount is a compact LED courtesy and step light back body that runs on 9-30V DC (12V and 24V systems) with IP67 sealing and a 1.5W typical draw (2.5W max).

It uses an asymmetric, down-angled beam meant for lighting steps, toe-kicks, and walk paths without throwing glare into your eyes. In practice, it is the kind of light you mount low on the boat so you can move around at night and still keep your night vision.

Key features

• 9-30V DC input for 12V or 24V onboard power, with a built-in driver for simple wiring
• 1.5W typical power draw (2.5W max) for low-load courtesy and wayfinding lighting
• IP67-rated sealing for wet locations and washdowns
• Asymmetric beam pattern aimed to light step treads and paths with less glare
• Snap-mount installation uses a 1.25 in (32 mm) cutout and accommodates panel thicknesses from 0.125 in to 0.625 in
• Optional 0-100% dimming via a dedicated control lead, compatible with LightLink controllers and PWM-style dimming
• Electrical protections include surge suppression, reverse polarity protection, and an auto-reset fuse

Variants

This product is offered in multiple light color outputs.

The variants below differ by the emitted color, which affects how the light looks on deck and how it blends with other onboard lighting.

• E1150Z-AAH: Color Temperature: Cool White (6500K). This reads as a crisp white that makes steps and edges easy to pick out.
• E1150Z-CAB: Color Temperature: Warm White (3000K). This has a softer look that suits cabins, companionways, and nighttime dockside use.
• EM-4L-65: Color Temperature: Blue. Blue light keeps the mood low and is commonly used for night wayfinding without a bright white cast.

Installation and setup

For snap mounting, bore a 1.25 in (32 mm) hole, feed the wiring, then seat the back body so the retaining clips lock behind the panel. Aim the fixture so the asymmetric beam throws light onto the walking surface rather than straight out into the space.

In wet or damp mounting locations, seal penetrations and nearby junction points so moisture cannot track into wiring compartments. This light is rated for exterior use, but it is not intended for locations where standing water can collect.

Electrical and system integration

Power it from the boat DC system within the 9-30V range. Typical wiring uses red for positive and black for DC common. The yellow lead is used for dimming control; leaving it unconnected runs the light at full output, while driving it with a compatible controller or PWM dimmer adjusts brightness.

It can also be used on low-voltage AC in the 9-15V range when installed with an appropriate transformer. Keep all connections protected from vibration and corrosion, and fuse the circuit appropriately for the branch run.

Use cases on board

This style of low-level light fits well on step risers, along companionway ladders, inside cockpits near footwells, at deck transitions, and along side-deck wayfinding routes. It is a strong match for boats that want consistent, low-glare guidance lighting without adding meaningful load to the house bank.

Materials and corrosion resistance

The fixture platform uses an aluminum and stainless steel construction with a polycarbonate lens, along with IP67 sealing to help keep spray and washdown water out of the housing. For best long-term results in saltwater, keep wiring terminations clean, sealed, and supported so they do not flex under vibration.

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.
