Weems & Plath has introduced a first-of-its-kind LED steaming and deck light designed with sailors in mind. The new OGM LX Steaming/Deck Light combines a USCG-certified masthead steaming light with an integrated deck light capable of switching between red and white illumination at the flip of a switch.
For cruising sailors, the ability to shift between red and white light on deck is especially practical. Red light preserves night vision and minimizes glare during overnight passages, while white light makes it easier to handle sails, lines and hardware when detailed work is required. Traditionally, these functions have required separate fixtures and additional wiring.
“An OGM Steaming/Deck Light has been a highly requested item among our customers,” says Michael Flanagan, president and owner of Weems & Plath. “When we started designing it, we realized how cool it would be to have a deck light that offered the option of either red or white illumination. As far as we are aware, there are no other steaming/deck lights on the market that offer that capability.”
Built for offshore conditions, the LX Steaming/Deck Light features a solid aluminum housing with military-spec anodizing, sealed UV-resistant acrylic lenses and powerful LEDs rated for over 100,000 hours of service. Its rounded contours reduce snags with sails and rigging, while multiple screw-mounting points and flexible aluminum wings provide a secure fit on a wide range of masts.
The new light exceeds three nautical miles of visibility and is ideal for sailboats and powerboats under 65 feet. Each unit includes marine-grade wiring and a limited lifetime warranty.
For sailors outfitting or upgrading navigation lights, the LX Steaming/Deck Light offers a streamlined approach: fewer fixtures, simplified wiring and the flexibility of dual-color deck lighting—all from a trusted name in marine gear.
