Ultra-Compact 12/24V Recessed LED Light (Ø20 mm, High-Performance, Blue or White)

This ultra-compact LED light (Ø20 mm) is among the smallest fixtures on the market, specifically designed for marine use. Although it’s as small as a coin, it emits an impressively bright light due to its high-performance LED module. This makes it excellent for tasks like outlining edges, illuminating steps, or even creating a “starry sky” effect in a cabin ceiling.

The lamp is labeled "high-performance" because it converts every bit of power into a maximum amount of light – drawing only 0.48W, yet providing enough lumens for orientation and accent lighting. This means you can leave these lights on all night (for example, as night lights along the deck or in the salon) without worrying about draining the battery. The 24V compatibility means you can directly tie it into the electrical system of larger yachts (often 24-volt) with no extra adapters – the same unit works perfectly on 12V systems in smaller boats as well.

Its design is minimalist: the front can be either stainless steel or high-grade ABS plastic, both resistant to UV rays and corrosion. Installation requires a tiny cutout; once inserted, the lamp sits waterproof and flush with the surface. That means it’s safe to walk on or touch – no protruding parts to snag or stub.

Two light color options are available: blue light – ideal for night navigation and a modern ambiance, and warm white light – great for interior settings where you want coziness and clarity. Blue light is often used around the deck perimeter or in the cockpit to provide gentle illumination without impeding the crew’s night vision. Warm white can be installed in the cabin, around the floor or ceiling, to provide guidance lighting at night (e.g. for moving around after dark).

Use Cases & Recommendations: Thanks to its tiny size, this lamp is highly versatile: use it as marker lights on stairs, illuminate narrow lockers or bilge spaces, or create an attractive glowing trim along the deck. Recommended for any vessel, including mega-yachts where dozens of these lights can form an impressive lighting scheme. On small boats (up to 5 m), one or two of these little lights can suffice for basic night lighting in the cockpit. On larger yachts (8–15 m), you might install a series of them in the salon floor or around the deck’s perimeter for safety and style. Even on very large ships or tall ships, these LEDs are excellent for marking corridors, exits, and steps without spoiling the darkness. During installation, ensure the drilled hole diameter is accurate (around 20 mm) to guarantee a snug, waterproof fit. Thanks to the high-efficiency design, the lamp doesn’t noticeably heat up, so it’s safe to embed in wood or plastic panels. Choose the LED color based on purpose: blue for exterior/night settings, white for interior/general use.
