Proven Kevin-Series LED Technology

The Recessed Kevin X4 uses the same proven Kevin-series LED design approach developed for demanding marine, commercial, and government applications. Its low-profile construction, efficient thermal management, and protected electronics are designed for dependable long-term operation.

Selected Kevin-series lights have been specified for use on U.S. Navy vessels and other government applications.

Product Description

The Recessed Kevin X4 is a compact, high-output marine LED light designed for installations where a clean, low-profile appearance is important. Its 8mm face sits close to the mounting surface, making it well suited for cockpits, transoms, foredecks, work areas, and other locations where a conventional projecting fixture may be undesirable.

Four high-power LEDs produce ~800 lumens while drawing about 1A at 12V. The die-cast aluminum-alloy housing provides effective thermal management, while integrated electrical protection helps maintain stable operation across normal vessel voltage variations.

The fixture supports both recessed and bracket mounting and operates from 10–30VDC or 12VAC.

Why Choose a Recessed Marine LED Light?

The recessed design reduces the amount of fixture projecting from the mounting surface. This provides a cleaner installation and helps minimize snagging or accidental contact in cockpits, transoms, walkways, and other confined areas.

  • Cockpit lighting
  • Transom lighting
  • Foredeck illumination
  • Sailboat deck lighting
  • Marine work areas
  • Utility compartments
  • Low-clearance mounting locations
  • Selected dock and low-voltage outdoor applications, where appropriate
