Sea-Dog Cabin Reading Light with Touch Dimmer USB

The Sea-Dog Cabin Reading Light has an adjustable direct beam plus ambient illumination, with a 5V 2A USB port.

Two lighting modes in one fixture covers the two things a berth actually needs. A direct beam for reading without lighting the whole cabin, and a soft ambient setting for moving around or leaving on low. Fitting separate fixtures for each is what boats usually end up doing instead.

The USB port at 5V and 2A puts a charging point exactly where a phone gets left overnight. That removes a separate outlet and the wiring to reach it, which on a berth-side panel is often the hardest place to add one.

Two hundred and seventy lumens at 3W from a 3000K Bridgelux emitter gives warm white light. It works on both 12V and 24V systems rather than being locked to one, so it suits either without checking the specification twice. Explore more interior and courtesy lights.
