It drops into a 2-inch hole, sits nearly flush behind a chrome bezel and clear glass lens, and runs 10 to 30 volts. Three watts, 300 lumens, IP67 sealed. Clean white when you need it, any color when you don't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shadow-Caster SCM-DLX is a color-change RGBW flush mount light built for the parts of a boat where you want light and a little mood without a big fixture eating up space. It drops into a 2-inch hole and sits nearly flat, with a 3-inch chrome bezel over a black housing and a clear glass lens. Three watts, 300 lumens, and a full red-green-blue-white LED behind that glass. So you get clean white light when you need to see, and any color you want when you're just setting the tone after dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere does a light like this earn its keep? Think cabin overheads, galley accents, a berth reading spot, and step or courtesy lighting down in the companionway. Outside, it works as accent lighting under a hardtop, along a transom, or around a cockpit coaming. It's rated IP67, so a washdown or a little spray over the rail won't bother it. That said, be honest with yourself about the job. At 300 lumens this is accent and courtesy light. It'll wash a surface with color and give you enough glow to move around safely, but it isn't going to flood a cockpit like a spreader light. Use it where you want ambiance and orientation, not raw output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe electrical side is friendly. It runs anywhere from 10 to 30 volts, so the same light works on a 12-volt runabout or a 24-volt system with no changes. Draw is modest. About 250 milliamps at 12 volts, and 125 milliamps at 24 volts. That means you can run a bank of these on a courtesy circuit without watching your amp-hours evaporate overnight. One thing worth knowing up front: on a small battery that's already sagging, RGBW LEDs can flicker once system voltage drops under about 10.5 volts. If you're wiring these into a boat that sits for weeks between trips, put them on a circuit you can isolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward if you respect the hole. It's a 2-inch cutout, and it needs to be clean and accurate, especially in a cored deck or a cabin liner. An oversize or ragged hole is where leaks start. Bed the bezel with butyl tape rather than leaning on the gasket alone, snug it into the flush mounting bracket, and drive the three included screws. Shadow-Caster puts the bracket and the screws in the box, so you're not hunting for hardware at the dock. The color-change function runs off a separate control wire, so plan a proper multi-conductor run back to your controller or switch. Don't try to piggyback color control on thin factory courtesy wiring. Give it its own clean run and the colors stay true.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRGBW is the whole reason to reach for this over a plain white puck. White for real tasks, blue for a calm night at anchor, red to protect your night vision at the helm, green or a custom mix when you just want the boat to look good at the dock. Because there's a dedicated white diode in the mix, white actually reads as white instead of the bluish approximation you get from blending colored diodes. Pair it with a controller built for RGBW output and you get smooth dimming and clean color transitions. Generic single-color PWM dimmers can cause color shift, so match the light to a controller designed for RGBW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chrome bezel and black housing combination is the one to reach for on a saltwater boat. Bright chrome trim looks sharp topside, and the black housing sits quietly against a dark liner or an underside you'd rather not notice. Keep the bezel rinsed after a salty day and it'll hold its shine. The 120-degree beam angle spreads a wide, even wash rather than a tight spot, which is exactly what you want from accent and courtesy lighting. Bottom line: if you want tidy, low-draw accent and courtesy lighting that can shift color on demand, the SCM-DLX is a clean, sealed, dual-voltage way to get there. It's a small light that does a specific job, and it does it well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-watt RGBW LED puts out 300 lumens of true red-green-blue-white color, so you get real white light plus any accent color on demand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10 to 30 volt operating range runs on 12V and 24V systems with no changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow current draw, 250mA at 12V and 125mA at 24V, so a bank of them barely touches your amp-hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP67 waterproof rating stands up to washdowns and spray on exterior mounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch mounting hole with a 3-inch chrome bezel and clear glass lens sits nearly flush for a clean finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack housing hides against dark liners and undersides while the chrome trim stays sharp topside\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e120-degree beam angle spreads a wide, even wash of light for accent and courtesy use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShips with a flush mounting bracket and three mounting screws, so the hardware's in the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterior and exterior rated for cabins, galleys, cockpits, transoms, and companionway steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Shadow-Caster reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat does RGBW mean on this light?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eRGBW stands for red, green, blue, and white.
