Large LED Dome Light with Switch 12/24V (Ø140 mm, 20 LEDs, Warm White)

This large LED dome light (Ø140 mm) is designed to provide a soft, diffused illumination in various areas of the boat without consuming virtually any energy. With a total of 20 small LED diodes (5mm type) arranged evenly, it creates a pleasant warm glow. While the light output is relatively low (around 18 lumens), this is intentional – the light functions as background illumination or a night light that won’t blind you or disrupt night vision. This makes it especially suitable for lighting closets, lockers, heads (bathrooms), or as a gentle corridor light at night.

One of the key advantages is its ability to run on both 12V and 24V. This universal input means you can use it on small powerboats and sailboats (typically 12V) as well as larger yachts and catamarans (24V) without any modifications. You simply tie it into the existing circuit.

The lamp has an extremely low consumption (~1.5W), which will hardly make a dent in your battery charge even if left on all night long. This makes it perfect for leaving on throughout the night – for instance, as a dim light in the salon or galley so that people can navigate, or in the engine room to see the apparatus at a glance.

The built-in switch on the face is subtle but easy to access – one press to turn the light on or off, without needing to find a panel switch. The silver plastic housing blends well with modern interiors and will not corrode. The plastic is moisture-resistant and won’t yellow quickly. The lamp mounts with screws to the ceiling or a vertical surface; its profile (35 mm depth) is relatively low, so it doesn’t stick out too much.

Use Cases & Recommendations: Use this dome light as a night light or low-level general light in areas where bright light isn’t necessary. Recommended for installation in auxiliary spaces and small cabins on boats of any size. For example, on a sailing yacht you might put it in the head/shower – the warm light will be enough for nighttime use without being uncomfortably bright. In closets and lazarettes, it will help you see contents upon opening. It can also be placed in a child’s or guest cabin as a night lamp left on for comfort. Keep in mind that 18 lumens isn’t sufficient for reading or detailed tasks – this lamp isn’t a substitute for task lighting, but rather for orientation. For reading, pair it with a brighter light (like the brass wall lamp 01304 or similar). The advantage is you can leave this dome light on continuously to gently illuminate the interior while keeping bright lights off. Thanks to its low draw, you won’t worry about the batteries, and the long LED lifespan means it’s virtually maintenance-free.
