Waterproof LED Spotlight with Base 27W (9×3W, 12/24V, Portable)

This portable LED spotlight with base offers a unique combination of powerful light and mobility. With a total output of ~27W (nine high-efficiency 3W LED chips), it generates a wide beam, perfect for illuminating the area immediately around your boat or your deck space. Its design is geared towards flexible use – it can be temporarily placed in various locations or held in hand by an operator, and when not needed, it stows away compactly.

Materials & Design: The light’s body is cast from aluminum alloy, providing strength and acting as a heat sink for the LED modules to dissipate heat. The base to which it is attached is made of zinc alloy – a sturdy, weighty base that helps keep the spotlight stable when set down. All external parts are corrosion-protected or coated, which prevents rust and degradation. The protection rating of IP67/IP68 (depending on model) ensures the unit is thoroughly waterproof – able to withstand even short-term submersion, let alone heavy rain or waves crashing over the bow.

Rotating Base with Handle: The spotlight’s base is designed to allow free 360° rotation. The unit has an integrated handle (on the front or top), which lets you quickly aim the beam left, right, up, or down by hand. In practice, it works like a “handheld spotlight on a stand” – you could set it, say, on the cabin roof and with a sweep of your hand illuminate the area off the bow, then in seconds swivel it to check something off the stern, all without moving the base itself. The handle provides a good grip, even with wet or gloved hands, and the tilt mechanism is tensioned to hold the chosen angle (some models use a detent or friction knobs to lock position).

Power & Portability: The light comes with a coiled power cord – when relaxed it’s compact, and it stretches out (typically to 2–3 meters) when you need more reach, allowing you to take the light far from the outlet. At the end of the cord is a standard car plug (cigarette lighter plug), which makes connection to your electrical system literally instant – plug it into the boat’s 12V socket (or 24V, since the unit is multi-volt) and you’re ready to shine. This truly makes it portable – no installation or hard-wiring needed. You can use it on different vessels, swap it between your main yacht and a tender, or even on land (with a suitable 12V power source). The cord typically includes a built-in fuse for circuit protection.

Illumination: The 9 LEDs are configured to provide a wide ~110° beam, meaning it’s a floodlight type illumination – covering a large area at short to medium range. This is fantastic for work tasks: if you’re repairing an engine at anchor in the dark, this light will bathe the entire engine bay in light; if you’re inspecting sails or the mast at night, the broad beam will help. Likewise for night fishing – set it on the transom and it will light up the water around the boat, attracting fish and letting you see your lines. Because it’s LED, the light does not flicker and isn’t affected by vibrations – even if the boat rocks, you won’t see disturbances in the beam. The brightness in lumens is roughly 500–600 lm (data indicates ~545 lm), which provides decent visibility over a ~50–70 m wide area in front of the boat.

Recommended Use Cases:

• Night maneuvers: When approaching an unlit area or navigating tight channels, place this light on the roof – it will give you a panoramic illumination of your immediate surroundings, complementing your navigation lights and any narrow-beam searchlights.
• Object search: If something falls overboard in the dark (a tool, a fishing rod), you can quickly grab this spotlight and illuminate the water around the boat to find it.
• Camping & automotive: Use it on shore – for example, on a 4x4 trip, plug it into your car’s socket and light up your campsite. The coiled cable and base let you set it on the ground or car hood without it rolling off.
• Backup lighting: Keep it as a backup onboard – if your main searchlight fails, this can stand in temporarily. At ~3.2 kg including the metal base, it’s not as light as a flashlight, but it’s compact enough to store in a locker.

LED Advantages: Instant full brightness (no warm-up time), low power usage (around 2A at 12V), extremely long life (the LEDs likely won’t need replacement for the life of the unit), and vibration resistance – no filaments to break as in bulbs. All these factors make it very reliable, especially in mobile use.

In conclusion, the waterproof 9×3W LED spotlight with base is an indispensable accessory for any skipper who wants to be prepared for the dark. It gives you light where you need it, when you need it, with no fuss – just plug in and aim. Whether it’s routine deck work at night or an unexpected situation, this portable spotlight will be your trusty light source to help you get the job done safely.
