LED Masthead Steaming Light 12/24V – Powerful 225° Mast Lamp for up to 20m

This LED masthead (steaming) light provides a powerful 225-degree forward illumination that you use when running under engine at night or in low visibility. Suitable for boats and yachts up to 20m, it meets the visibility requirements for masthead lights while offering the significant advantages of LED technology. First and foremost, the integrated LEDs emit a bright, focused white light equivalent to or stronger than traditional bulbs (around 25W) but with up to 90% less power consumption. This means less strain on your onboard batteries and generators – a valuable benefit for any electrical system. In addition, the LED light is instant – it reaches full brightness immediately with no warm-up time, and it maintains consistent output regardless of voltage fluctuations (compatible with both 12V and 24V).

The construction of the 04013-B is purpose-built for mast or vertical surface mounting, with mounting “feet” on the housing that are slightly flexible to ensure a snug fit on both round and flat profiles. This makes it easy to secure on masts of various diameters. The black technopolymer housing not only gives a modern look but is also exceptionally robust – it withstands impacts, vibration, and prolonged sun exposure. The light is hermetically sealed (IP67 rated), which guarantees operation even in pouring rain, heavy seas, or strong water spray. The internal circuitry is protected against surges and designed for the marine environment, so vibrations from the engine or wind will not cause the light to flicker or fail.

In terms of safety, this LED steaming light provides forward and side visibility (225°) for at least 2 nautical miles, which is critical for vessels over 12m (up to 20m falls in this category). This ensures that other ships can spot you and identify you as a power-driven vessel rather than at anchor or under sail. That distinction is important for determining right-of-way and avoiding incorrect maneuvers. The LED light source has an extremely long service life – tens of thousands of hours – which virtually eliminates the need to ever change a “bulb” and guarantees that you won’t be left without a masthead light at a crucial moment.

By installing this LED masthead lamp, you are upgrading your boat’s navigation lighting to modern standards. You’ll enjoy brighter light, lower energy usage, and reduced maintenance. Tip: After installation, aim the light such that none of the deck equipment (wind vanes, radar, etc.) obstructs its visibility in the required arc. Also check that your boat’s electrical system has an appropriate fuse for this light’s circuit – the LED draw is low, but surge protection is always good practice. With this product, you can navigate confidently at night, knowing your masthead light shines bright and reliably, marking your vessel in full compliance with the rules.
