Aqua Signal 16550-7 12V LED Engine Room Light, 6.70 x 3.55 Inch Square, IP65

The Aqua Signal 16550-7 is a 12 Volt LED engine room light built for the toughest lighting environment on a boat. It has a molded polycarbonate housing rated IP65, sealing out water and dust so it holds up under vibration, heat, and moisture exposure typical of an engine compartment. The fixture carries SAEJ1171 certification for ignition protection, meaning it is designed to be used safely in spaces where flammable vapors may be present.

The LED light source produces 700 lumens at a 6000K color temperature, giving a bright, white light output well suited to illuminating an engine bay for inspection and maintenance work. The LED is rated for a 20,000 hour service life, reducing the need for bulb replacement over the life of the fixture. It is rated to operate across a wide ambient temperature range of -25C to 45C (-13F to 113F), matching the temperature swings found near a running engine.

The light measures 6.70 inches by 3.55 inches in a square profile and installs with two mounting screws, which are included, so no additional hardware purchase or assembly is required.
