Attwood Marine Light Armor Surface-Mount Underwater LED Light, 12 LEDs, 12/24V DC, 6 in, Sapphire Blue Light

Overview

The Attwood Marine 65UW12B-7 is a surface-mount underwater LED light with 12 sapphire blue LEDs for 12V and 24V DC systems. It is the 6 inch High Performance version in the LightArmor range, with 1,650 lumens of output and current draw of 1.32A at 13.6V or 0.66A at 24V.

This light mounts below the waterline and only works underwater. Its low profile helps keep the fixture close to the transom, which matters on boats where space is tight around ladders, tabs, or swim platforms. The aftermarket packaged version includes an electro-polished 316 stainless steel cover.

Key features

• 1,650 lumens of output

• Heat-Sync cooling system with active overheat protection
• Electronics are fully sealed and waterproof, with reverse polarity protection

Installation and fit

Check the transom layout before drilling. This 6.0 HP model measures 6.00 inches long and 2.35 inches wide, with 5.25 inches between mounting holes. The required wiring hole diameter is 0.56 inches. Installed height is 0.56 inches, and wire collar depth is 0.30 inches.

The supplied 3 ft sheathed wire suits short runs from the mounting point to a nearby power connection. For a clean installation, mount it on a solid section of transom below the waterline with enough room for the cable entry, fasteners, and sealing around the wiring hole.

Electrical and system integration

This light fits straightforward DC lighting circuits where you are bringing switched power to the stern. The dual-voltage design makes it useful on smaller 12V boats and on larger 24V systems without changing the fixture. Reverse polarity protection adds a layer of protection during hookup, but proper circuit protection and marine sealing still matter at the install point.

Use on board

This is a good match for owners who want blue underwater lighting at the stern without stepping up to a larger housing. It suits center consoles, cruisers, towboats, and other transom-mounted applications where a low fixture height and predictable current draw are important when planning the install.

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.
