IL-560-2110 - IL-560-2113 - IL-560-2112

The other day a customer wrote and asked about portable LED navigation lights. We went to Google. We found Innovative Lighting and immediately sent off for a bunch of these lights. We were not sure about the quality, as we were kind of spoiled by the Aqua Signal incandesent portables. When the package came, we were amazed at the quality of these units. They are every bit as good as the other ones but with LED bulbs for super long life and about the same price. After the light source, the biggest difference is the mounting method. Each of these lights is basically the same except for the mounting hardware included.

  • IL-560-2110 - Suction cup mount. The 3" dia. cup will screw into the end or side of the light. Fine where a smooth surface exists where the light needs to mount. A safety line should be tied to the light.
  • IL-560-2113 - "C" Clamp mount. The clamp screws into either the end or side of the light. Attach this light to a gunwale, or any lip less than 2-1/2 inches thick. This light also comes with an 18" pole and a wider variety of mounting hardware (see below)

  • IL-560-2112 - Flange Mount. This light comes with a hard rubbery 2-1/4" dia. flange that is designed to be glued to an inflatable dinghy, but could actually be glued or even screwed to almost any surface. It comes with a Stainless Steel spring clip so it can be removed when not in use. Like the others it will mount vertically or horizontally.

    The following applies to all three lights:

    # Requires 4 "AA" Batteries (Not Included)
    # Molded One Piece White Body Construction
    # Shock Resistant Neoprene Accents
    # Rated at 100,000 Hours LED Service Life
    # Uses 90% Less Energy than Incandescent
    # Sealed Heavy Duty On/Off Switch
    # Insert Molded Brass Threaded Mounting Bushings
    # Removable Lamp Carriage Assembly
    # Fully Buoyant

My friend Bill Tosh used one of the IL-560-2113 lights to make a masthead anchor light for his Montgomery 17. Here is what he did:

I drilled an extra hole about midway of the tube and inserted the black eyebolt that came with the light.
Next I installed an "S" hook in the bottom hole of the tube and attached a "tail rope" to it.
To use the light, I simply hook the mainsail halyard to the eyebolt in the center of the tube and pull up the mast all the way to the top, secure the halyard...
...and then pull down on the tailrope which in turn raises the light (180 degrees) and it is "above" the top of the mast, allowing 360 degrees visibility.
