This Attwood LED light is a compact, fully sealed 2 nautical mile all-round lamp. It is made for mounting on a fixed structure, and it replaces Attwood's incandescent 5940 series lights directly. It draws 1.8 W at 12 V DC and is rated for 50,000+ hours. The body measures 2-3/8 inch across by 1-3/4 inch, with 7 inch wire leads. The rated vessel length is up to 39.4 ft (12 m).
Our take
At 1.8 watts on 12 volts, this light adds only a small load to the boat's circuit, which counts for an all-round lamp that may burn through the night. The sealed, compact body is meant for a fixed structure, and the 50,000+ hour rating covers a long working life.
From our buying guide
The lights a boat must show depend on its length and how it's being driven. A sailboat under power is a power-driven vessel and shows power-driven lights.
Check before you buy:
- The label gives its visibility in nautical miles, and that range meets the minimum for your boat's length.
- The maker rates it for boats of your length.
- A replacement LED is certified with the fixture it's going into, since the Coast Guard warns that replacement lighting may not meet the rules.
