INTRODUCTION

Thank you for your purchase of Weems & Plath’s OGM LX2 Running LED
Navigation Lights. The rugged construction and long bulb life will provide years
of trouble-free service for your marine application. This collection provides well
over 2 nautical miles of visibility, suitable for both power and sailing vessels
that are under 165-feet (50-meters). The lights are US Coast Guard certied,
meet the COLREGS ’72 and ABYC-16 standards. Additional certications may
be required for commercial applications. Check with your local regulations.

3. 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.

4. The light is designed to be mounted using two 8-32 or similar sized
through bolts, preferably high-grade stainless steel, pan-head screws.

5. 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 dicult 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:

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 sucient 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

re or other catastrophic damage in the case of a short or other failure.

STERN: The Stern light must be mounted as nearly as is practical at the
stern of the vessel, facing directly aft.

2. The ‘72 COLREGS documents the proper locations for navigation lights.
Specic rules also apply for vessels over 65.5-feet (20-meters), including
