It operates on both 12V and 24V DC systems, drawing a low nominal current of 15 mA at 12V (19 mW), so it stays visible without placing meaningful load on the battery. The LED uses a resistor circuit and is wired with 26 AWG lead wire for straightforward panel connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is a simple push-in design that mounts into an 11\/64 inch (4.36 mm) hole and works in panel material of any thickness, so it is not limited to a single panel gauge. The 8172 directly replaces the LEDs used in Blue Sea Systems Traditional Metal circuit breaker panels, making it the correct choice when an indicator light on one of these panels needs to be swapped out or added. Whether used as a general power indicator or wired into an alarm circuit, it delivers dependable, low-maintenance signaling for the life of the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Sea Systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8172\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\/24 Volts DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Current Consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 mA at 12 Volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19 mW at 12 Volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCircuit Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\/64 inch (4.36 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Gauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Push-in mount, fits any panel thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBlue Sea Systems Traditional Metal circuit breaker panels\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Blue Sea Systems 8172 indicator light?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 8172 is a green LED indicator light, part of the Blue Sea Systems lineup that also includes amber and red versions in the same style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat voltage does the 8172 LED run on?\u003c\/strong\u003e It operates on both 12 volt and 24 volt DC systems, making the Blue Sea Systems 8172 suitable for a range of marine and RV electrical setups without needing a different part for each voltage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much current does the 8172 draw?\u003c\/strong\u003e At 12 volts, the 8172 draws a nominal 15 mA and consumes about 19 mW of power, a low enough draw that it will not meaningfully affect battery life even when left on continuously.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size hole is needed to install the Blue Sea Systems 8172?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 8172 mounts in an 11\/64 inch (4.36 mm) hole using a simple push-in design, and it fits panels of any thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 8172 require any tools to install?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the Blue Sea Systems 8172 uses a push-in installation that snaps into the mounting hole without special tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat panels is the 8172 designed to fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is designed to directly replace the LEDs used in Blue Sea Systems Traditional Metal circuit breaker panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat wire gauge is used on the 8172?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Blue Sea Systems 8172 is wired with 26 AWG leads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of circuit does the 8172 use?\u003c\/strong\u003e It uses a resistor circuit, the same type used across the Blue Sea Systems 8033, 8171, and 8172 indicator LEDs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the 8172 be used for alarms as well as power indication?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 8172 is useful as both a general power indicator and as an alarm light, since it is simply a wired LED that lights when its circuit is energized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Blue Sea Systems 8172 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 8172 weighs 0.03 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 8172 a genuine Blue Sea Systems part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, part number 8172 is the manufacturer's own green LED indicator, not a generic substitute, so it matches the fit and finish of the original panel LEDs it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is different between the 8171 and 8172 indicator lights?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 8171 is the red version and the 8172 is the green version; both share the same 12\/24V DC operation, resistor circuit, and 11\/64 inch push-in mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Sea Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989518921947,"sku":"BSS-8172","price":3.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/8172.jpg?v=1784507258","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/blue-sea-systems-8172-green-led-indicator-light-12-24v-dc-11-64-push-in-panel-light-for-traditional-metal-circuit-breaker-panels","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
