Lumitec Zambezi Mini Surface Mount LED Underwater Light, 10-30VDC, IP68

Overview

The Lumitec Zambezi Mini Surface Mount Underwater Light is a surface-mount LED underwater light that measures about 3 in in diameter and about 1.2 in deep for smaller transoms, pontoon brackets, and skiffs. It runs on 10-30V DC and produces roughly 670-890 lumens depending on the color output. Current draw is about 0.88-0.99A at 12V, and about 0.45A at 24V.

The wiring exits from the top of the housing, so the cable can be routed up and over without drilling a through-hull wiring hole. It mounts on a three-screw pattern, which helps when you are working around ladders, trim tabs, or tight corners on a bracket.

The housing is anodized aluminum and uses an isolating spacer to help when mounting against other metals. It is built for continuous submersion in salt or fresh water in typical underwater-light placements.

Key features

• 10-30V DC input for 12V and 24V electrical systems
• About 670-890 lumens, depending on color output
• Current draw about 0.88-0.99A at 12V and about 0.45A at 24V
• Top-exit cable routing, so no through-hull wiring hole is required
• Three-screw mounting pattern with an overall size about 3 in diameter by 1.2 in deep
• Anodized aluminum housing with an isolating spacer to reduce galvanic issues at the mounting surface
• Available output choices: white, blue, RGBW, and RGBW Spectrum
• 5-year warranty

Variants

This light is offered in several output options, all using the same Zambezi Mini surface-mount footprint.

Across the range, what changes is the light color output. White output is 6500K with a CRI of 70+. RGBW options are intended for color-changing control, and the RGBW Spectrum PLI version works with the Lumitec Poco system.

• 101458: Light color RGBW. This option is used when you want adjustable color output from an RGBW controller rather than a single fixed color.
• 101457: Light color Blue. Blue output keeps the transom glow subtle and is commonly used for night cruising or dockside ambience.
• 101456: Light color White. White output is 6500K with a CRI of 70+ for clear water illumination around the stern.
• 101833: Light color RGBW Spectrum. This PLI-enabled Spectrum RGBW option integrates with Lumitec Poco for color selection, dimming, and scenes.

Installation and setup

Plan the mounting location so the face of the light has clean water flow and will not be blocked by a swim ladder, trim tab, or outboard bracket. For pontoons and docks, it is often mounted on a transducer or accessory bracket where the light can sit just below the waterline.

Bed the light to the mounting surface with a marine sealant and use corrosion-resistant fasteners. Route the cable from the top exit into a protected path with chafe protection and a drip loop before it enters any electrical space.

Electrical and control notes

Power it from a switched DC circuit that is fused appropriately for the run and the load. At 12V the draw is under 1A, and at 24V it is about 0.45A, so voltage drop is usually manageable on smaller boats when the wiring is sized correctly for the length.

Single-color versions operate from a simple on/off switch. RGBW and RGBW Spectrum versions require a compatible color controller, and the PLI-enabled Spectrum model is the one that ties into Lumitec Poco modules.

Compatibility and fit

The compact body (about 3 in diameter by 1.2 in deep) helps when you have limited flat area on the transom. If installing multiple lights, keep them at the same depth and spaced evenly so the glow looks balanced from behind the boat.

Use on board

Underwater lighting is most noticeable at the dock, at anchor, and while swimming off the stern. The Mini format is a good match for trailer boats, small pontoons, and skiffs that want a surface-mount installation and modest current draw.

Maintenance and care

Rinse the exterior after saltwater use and wipe the lens clean with mild soap and water. Check fasteners and the sealant line periodically, especially after trailering or hard washdowns.

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.
