Perko 1253DP1WHT Ivory Exterior Surface Mount Dome Light, 4 Inch Lens
The Perko 1253DP1WHT is an exterior surface mount dome light designed for cabin, cockpit, and courtesy lighting on boats. It features an ivory Perko-Kote covered zinc alloy base paired with a 4 inch diameter lens, giving an overall fixture diameter of 5 inches and an overall depth of 1-7/8 inches. The fixture uses a double contact bayonet socket that accepts a 12 volt bulb, supplied with an 11 watt bulb and rated for bulbs up to a maximum of 17 watts. A push switch with a water-resistant boot is built into the fixture for on/off control at the light itself, and a black vinyl mounting gasket is included to seal the base against the mounting surface during surface installation. The corrosion-resistant zinc alloy construction with Perko-Kote finish is intended to hold up in the marine environment where exposure to moisture and salt air is common. This dome light is well suited for below-deck cabins, companionways, cockpits, and other areas where a compact, surface-mounted overhead light with an integrated switch is needed. Because the socket is a double contact bayonet type, the bulb can be replaced without replacing the entire fixture when it burns out.
