What is the difference between the two versions of this step light?

The 003-4000-7 produces a red light for night-vision-friendly courtesy lighting near the helm, while the 003-5100-7 produces a bright white light for general-purpose accent and safety lighting elsewhere on the boat.

Which color should I pick for helm or cockpit steps used at night?

Choose the red version (003-4000-7) for areas near the helm or cockpit where crew need to preserve night vision while underway.

Which color is better for swim platforms or interior steps?

The white/white version (003-5100-7) gives brighter, more general-purpose illumination, which suits swim platforms, boarding areas, and interior steps where visibility matters more than night vision.

How is this step light powered?

Both versions run on a 12V DC boat electrical system, with the white/white model rated for a 9-16 Volt DC range for extra flexibility.

Is this a surface mount or flush mount fixture?

Both versions are surface mount fixtures that install directly onto a flat surface without requiring a recessed cutout.

How many LEDs are inside this fixture?

Each version uses 3 LEDs to produce its courtesy light output.

Does this light draw a lot of current?

No, this step light is designed for low current draw, so multiple units can run continuously without significantly loading the battery.

Can I mix red and white versions on the same boat?

Yes, many boaters use red versions near the helm for night vision and white/white versions elsewhere for general courtesy lighting, since both share the same compact surface-mount design.
