Attwood's 5530 LightArmor lights are easy to confuse if only the LED head is visible: each model uses the same articulating all-round design but has a different pole length. To identify an original, check its MPN, measure the pole, and confirm the two-pin locking-collar connection before choosing a replacement.
Recognize a 5530 LightArmor pole
The anti-glare head adjusts so its beam can be aligned with the horizon on a suitably mounted pole.
The manufacturer specifies 360° visibility up to two nautical miles for boats up to 12 m (39.4 ft) when correctly installed.
These models use a locking-collar two-pin pole and operate from 10.5 to 14.4 volts DC.
Identify the MPN from its pole length
The lengths below are the manufacturer's pole-length designations, not a guarantee of the installed light's height above deck.
| Manufacturer MPN | Pole length | Output | Connector | Power supply |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5530-24A7 | 24 in | White all-round LED | 2-pin locking collar | 10.5–14.4 V DC |
| 5530-36A7 | 36 in | White all-round LED | 2-pin locking collar | 10.5–14.4 V DC |
| 5530-48A7 | 48 in | White all-round LED | 2-pin locking collar | 10.5–14.4 V DC |
| 5530-54A7 | 54 in | White all-round LED | 2-pin locking collar | 10.5–14.4 V DC |
| 5530-60A7 | 60 in | White all-round LED | 2-pin locking collar | 10.5–14.4 V DC |
Confirm the original two-pin socket
Compare the base's pin pattern and locking style, not only the outer cover shape. Attwood lists 910R2, 910V2 and 910T2 as matching two-pin base families.
Do not assume a two-pin light works in a three-pin task-light socket. Consult the exact base part number and its original instructions before altering the locking collar or changing the wiring.
Replacing or positioning the original light
Measure the original installation height and check whether railings, a canvas top, fishing equipment or other fittings obscure the light. Inspect for corrosion or loose electrical contacts and verify voltage before replacement.
The 5530 all-round articulating family is distinct from Attwood's incandescent frosted-globe poles, folding LED poles and red/green bi-colour lights.
