LED Pop-Up Bow Lights set new standards for performance

by Martin Flory Group 13 Apr 2020 15:05 BST

Traditional incandescent navigation lights with their fragile wire filaments are a pain to continually replace. They can also compromise occupant safety should they fail while under way. 210 Series Pop-Up LED Bow Lights from Accon Marine outperform old-fashioned lamps. Additionally, their unique retractable design helps protect the fixture from damage when not in use.

USCG-approved to 3.7km, 210 Series Pop-Up LED Bow Lights deploy by depressing a small tab. They retract flush into the deck with a gentle push, protecting the light from accidental damage. Unlike fragile incandescent bulbs, the bright LEDs in these Accon Marine lights withstand the rigors of the outdoor environment for a long life, while consuming far less power when in use.

Measuring just 102mm W x 112mm L, 210 Series Pop-Up LED Bow Lights install easily using a standard 89mm mounting hole and come supplied with a cut-out template. Available in both through-bolt and stud-mount versions, the lights are fully compatible with Accon Marine's optional 211-MC Waterproofing Cup to protect against unwanted water runoff below decks.

Installation is simple. After protecting the deck area with painters tape, the supplied template is put in place. After a punch is used to mark the center, an 89mm hole saw is used to cut out the opening. Position the 210 Series Pop-Up LED Bow Light, mark the three screw holes and remove. Then, drill 4.7mm holes and remove the tape. Attach the wires and secure with #10 stainless steel screws and washers, and tighten using nylon insert lock nuts.

Made from durable marine-grade 316 stainless steel for unmatched corrosion resistance, 210 Series Pop-Up LED Bow Lights have a long life. They meet 72 Colregs standard to suit a variety of installation options.
