TACO Marine T-Top LED Tube Light, 108 LEDs, IP67, 1.5 in

Overview

The TACO Marine T-Top LED Tube Light is a hard-wired LED replacement light for standard T-top tube light housings on boats. It uses 108 LEDs and is available with either white and blue light or white and red light, giving the helm, cockpit, engine room, or arch area a practical mix of general illumination and low-glare color light.

White output is rated at 300 lumens, with color output rated at 150 lumens. The light draws less than 0.5 amps, includes a 3-way switch on the end of the housing for color, white, and off, and has an IP67 waterproof, non-submersible rating for spray, washdowns, and exposed marine locations.

The 1.5-inch diameter housing works as a replacement for many existing fluorescent T-top light housings, which makes it useful when updating older lighting without changing the whole mounting setup.

Key features

• 108 LED layout with white light plus a second low-glare color light for night use around the helm or cockpit.
• 300 lumens from the white LEDs and 150 lumens from the color LEDs for a clear difference between task lighting and softer night lighting.
• 3-way switch at the end of the light toggles between color light, white light, and off.
• Low draw of less than 0.5 amps helps limit battery use during evening checks, rigging, cleanup, or dockside work.
• IP67 waterproof, non-submersible rating suits areas exposed to spray and washdowns.
• Impact-resistant polycarbonate lens helps protect the light in active areas such as T-tops, arches, and engine spaces.
• 14-foot wiring cable gives installers room to route the hard-wired connection cleanly through tubing or overhead structure.
• Mounting clips are included for installation on compatible tube light mounting points.

Variants

This T-top tube light is offered in two color configurations. Both versions use the same 108 LED tube light format, 1.5-inch diameter, hard-wired installation, end-mounted 3-way switch, low current draw, IP67 waterproof non-submersible rating, polycarbonate lens, and 14-foot wiring cable.

The difference between the variants is the secondary light color. White light is used for general visibility, while the blue or red option gives a lower-glare light choice for night running, chart checks, cockpit activity, or helm-area use when full white light is not wanted.

• F38-2060B-1: White with blue light. The blue setting gives the boat a clean accent light while still keeping the white output available for work light use.
• F38-2060R-1: White with red light. The red setting is a common choice for chart reading and night use around the helm because it is easier on the eyes than full white light.

Installation and fit

This is a hard-wired tube light, so installation should be planned around wire routing, switch access, and the existing T-top or arch structure. The 14-foot wiring cable gives enough length for many overhead installs, but the route should still be checked before removal of the old light.

The universal replacement format is meant for many standard fluorescent T-top light housings. Before ordering, compare the 1.5-inch diameter, mounting point layout, and available wiring path with the light currently on the boat.

Use cases on board

This light is a strong match for center consoles, fishing boats, and cruising boats that need overhead lighting under a T-top, on an arch, or in an engine room. The white setting works well for cleanup, rigging, inspections, and general visibility, while the color setting is useful when a softer light is preferred after dark.

Because the housing is rated for spray and washdowns but is not submersible, it belongs in exposed above-deck or protected machinery spaces rather than locations where it may sit underwater.

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.
