Blue Sea Systems 8171 LED Indicator Light, Red, 12/24V DC

The Blue Sea Systems 8171 is a red LED indicator light designed for use with Blue Sea Systems circuit breaker panels, giving boat owners a clear, low-power visual signal of circuit status at the helm or panel board. Rated for 12/24V DC systems, the indicator draws just 15 mA at 12V (19 mW) or 3.2 mA at 24V (77 mW), making it an efficient addition to any DC electrical panel without placing meaningful load on the circuit. It uses simple push-in installation, snapping securely into an 11/64 inch diameter mounting hole in any panel thickness, so no tools or hardware are required for mounting. Built with a plastic housing and red LED lens, it is intended for use with Blue Sea Systems electrical panels and meets UL1500 and ISO8846 ignition protection requirements, confirming it is safe for installation in gasoline engine spaces aboard a boat. At 0.03 pounds, the indicator adds negligible weight to any panel installation. This is a functional, panel-specific accessory for boat owners who want an at-a-glance indication of whether a given circuit is energized, and it installs in seconds alongside other Blue Sea Systems panel components.
