Product Information
The LX2 Running LED Nav Lights come in three models: Port, Starboard, and Stern. The lens and LED bulb are clear, which can make identifying the particular light difficult from a casual glance. However, the part number is labeled on the back of each unit to help identify it. The type of light can also be determined by applying power to the light and observing the illuminated color.

Model #	Description	LED Color
LX2-PT	Port Running Light	Red
LX2-SB	Starboard Running Light	Cyan (Green)
LX2-ST	Stern Running Light	White

General
The LX2 lights are designed to meet the requirements of the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS). These regulations were developed and adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). It is important to follow these instructions and the 72 COLREGS during installation to ensure compliance with the regulations.

Mounting

The Stern light must be mounted as nearly as is practical at the stern of the vessel, facing directly aft.
The 72 COLREGS documents the proper locations for navigation lights. Specific rules also apply for vessels over 65.5 feet (20 meters), including the use of screens. Please refer to those regulations when installing these lights.
The light is completely waterproof, so no extra precautions are necessary to protect the components within the light. The light is not designed to be opened; doing so will void the warranty.
The light is designed to be mounted using two 8-32 or similar-sized through bolts, preferably high-grade stainless steel, pan-head screws.
Avoid any undue tension, pulling, or bending of the wires behind the housing. Contact Weems & Plath directly if you have any questions.

The LX2 Models
There are 3 LX2 models: Port, Starboard, and Stern. The lens and LED bulb are clear which can make identifying the particular light difficult from a casual glance but the part number is labeled on the back of each unit to help identify it. The type of light can also be determined by applying power to the light and observing the illuminated color. The table below outlines each part number:

Model #| Description| LED Color| Horiz. View Angle| Vert. View Angle
---|---|---|---|---
LX2-PT| Port Running Light| Red| 112.5°| > 70°
LX2-SB| Starboard Running Light| Cyan (Green)| 112.5°| > 70°
LX2-ST| Stern Running Light| White| 135°| > 70°

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

General
The LX2 lights are designed to meet the requirements of the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972, commonly called ‘72 COLREGS. These regulations were developed and adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). These instructions and the ‘72 COLREGS should be followed during installation to ensure compliance with these regulations.

Mounting

PORT & STARBOARD: The Port and Starboard lights must be mounted at an angle of 33.75° from the centerline of the vessel. The lights come with a mounting bracket to facilitate mounting at the proper angle. STERN: The Stern light must be mounted as nearly as is practical at the stern of the vessel, facing directly aft.
The ‘72 COLREGS documents the proper locations for navigation lights. Specific rules also apply for vessels over 65.5-feet (20-meters), including the use of screens. Please refer to those regulations when installing these lights.
The light is completely waterproof so no extra precautions are necessary to protect the components within the light. The light is not designed to be opened; doing so will void the warranty.
The light is designed to be mounted using two 8-32 or similar-sized through bolts, preferably high-grade stainless steel, pan-head screws.
Avoid any undue tension, pulling or bending of the wires behind the housing. Contact Weems & Plath directly if you have any questions.

Wiring
The LX2 lights come standard with 2.5-feet of marine-grade 2-conductor, 20-gauge wire. A waterproof splice should be made for extending the run of wire length. Wire of 20-gauge or larger is sufficient for the small current draw (≤ 0.17 Amps) of these lights. The light must be protected with a 1 Amp circuit breaker or fuse. To install, connect the black wire to the boat’s DC ground and the red wire to the boat’s DC positive power source. Improper fuse protection may result in fire or other catastrophic damage in the case of a short or other failure.
