Lumishore SMX94 Surface Mount Underwater LED Light, RGBW Color Select, 6,000 Fixture Lumens, 10.5-31V DC, IP68

Overview

The Lumishore 010-04506-00 is a surface-mount underwater LED light with full-spectrum RGBW color change output and a 10.5 to 31 V DC input range for both 12 V and 24 V systems. It is rated IP68 for underwater mounting and produces a wide 90° beam, with 6,000 fixture lumens in white output.

The housing stays low-profile on the hull at roughly 70 mm (2.75 in) across and about 17 mm (0.67 in) in height, with an attached 2 m (6 ft 6 in) cable. An internal driver supports a straightforward two-wire power connection, and the light can run basic color cycling from a standard on/off switch or integrate with an ECLIPSE Command Center for expanded control.

What's included

• Surface-mount underwater light with attached 2 m (6 ft 6 in) cable
• 3 mounting screws

Installation and setup

Mount the light on a flat section of the transom or side hull with clear access inside for routing the cable. For underwater illumination, placement 4 to 12 in (100 to 300 mm) below the loaded waterline is commonly used, and the light should be kept away from exhaust outlets and other heat sources.

Plan for a recessed cable-gland seat so the unit sits flush: drill the cable pass-through at 9/32 in (7 mm), then create a 17/32 in (13.5 mm) recess to about 5/8 in (15 mm) deep. Pilot holes for the mounting screws are 9/64 in (3.5 mm). Sealant should be applied to the back of the light and around the cable gland, and cored hulls should be sealed before fastening hardware.

Electrical and control integration

Power wiring is straightforward: connect red to vessel positive and black to ground, and keep all splices waterproof. Each light should be individually fused, with fuse ratings of 4 A on 12 V DC and 3 A on 24 V DC. Use marine-grade cabling sized for the run so voltage drop stays under control.

With a standard on/off switch, the light starts in white and then enters a color cycle. A quick off/on toggle pauses on a color and another off/on resumes the cycle; switching off for 5 seconds resets back to white. If using an ECLIPSE Command Center, the installation is for 12 V boats only, and the control wiring uses an additional control conductor beyond the basic two-wire power feed.

Materials and corrosion notes

The light uses a marine bronze body with a borosilicate glass lens and does not require bonding. On conductive hull materials, an isolation approach is required to reduce the risk of galvanic interaction at the mounting location.

Maintenance and care

Check the lens area regularly for growth, especially in warm water or when the boat sits. Clean with a soft cloth or a soft-bristled brush, and avoid abrasive pads, solvent-based cleaners, and pressure washing.

If the lens is covered for maintenance or painting, keep the light powered off until the cover is removed. Minor body discoloration can occur over time without affecting operation.

Use on board

This style of light fits boats that need underwater transom or hull-side lighting without a bulky through-hull footprint, including center consoles, sportfishers, and cruisers. It works well for dockside visibility, nighttime swim platform use, and general underwater accent lighting when the boat is at anchor or tied up.

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.
