Would this be suitable to install in a sailboat (to power 3 small lights)? In particular, I wonder if heeling would be an issue (tipping to a side)?

This is a back-up battery designed a carry a small load for a short period of time, like an alarm system if the house power fails. Consider a motorcycle battery.

I use it for an alarm system. As long as you can recharge it it should work. If the lights are high wattage, it wont last long.Good luck

I wouldn't, maybe softs but they won't be strong. Also this is designed for rimless tanks or a very small rim. The light just wont penetrate a tank that tall. There are some adjustable led ppucks from aquamana reef fixtures for the same price as two of these that look promising. Dont have one though

Yes, I installed it in a sail catamaran and it is working very well. 12V DC is all it takes with a fuse or breaker for best practice. I ran it through a breaker protected circuit.

I've got it set up with 3 - 400 watt lights (1200 watt total) and it keeps them pretty cool. You shouldn't have any issue.

I don't think it would work well that way. It seem to work better the higher up the pole it is, since that allows it to give a wider area of light. I think if you needed to do that, you would be better off buying some sort of lantern to put on the table instead.

I would highly advise using the extra harness and relay. Otherwise your lights will flicker when the boat is off and without a relay there is a higher probability for something to go wrong, could result in a fire even. They will work without a relay, I just highly suggest you use a relay.

Hello my friend, Though the power for each light is 10W. I would recommend you to use a 250W power supply for working with 15pcs of these lights. If these lights are used under water, kindly use a waterproof 250W power supply (we have it but not yet list it , but if you want to know the details ,you can email us for more info ). If these lights are used , not being soaked in water, then an ordinary 250W power supply or a larger one is OK. For any further question for the power supply info or how to connect several lights, you're more than welcome to contact us freely at any time. We'll do our best to help you . Welcome your friendly business with Lemonbest soon. Have a nice day. Best Regards Lemonbest

I am using them in a vertical/sideways position for two fans with no problem. . Bright lights. Good luck

I would definitely not recommend this for a winch. This is not a power supply that will give much Ah power especially sustained, this is a light duty for basically LED lighting only. You will do nothing but fry out the power supply.

I don't know for sure but I think it would work. 6A at 12V will give you 72W and the lights are 27W. It certainly would give some bright light. I am quite happy with them on my boat.

I use it on a 12 volt boat system. It is very bright, you need some power. I doubt what you suggest would be enough.

Yep, should work fine. I'm no engineer, so I don't know if running with only one light will cause wear on the ballast or anything like that. You could always get 2 different lights (like one 'moon' light, or something like that) to tweak the spectrum and/or reduce the light output, if that's what you are trying to do.

I mounted mine on a sailboat for that purpose. I would think it is perfect for a playhouse...if you have some sun. This unit is superior to the little mushroom type.

I use Velcro strips on the back of mine. This enables me to move the light when I need to. I use them on my boat and they stay in tack without any problems.

It would be fine...since it's led, it doesn't draw much power...especially if it is running

This light is for a Marine (Saltwater) setup. TrueLumen makes a freshwater LED light also, just check out their website for the details!

If you have something to power them with, I don't see why that would be an issue. The cords are pretty long but depending on how big your boat is you many want to get some extra wiring.
