ORA TIX404, interchangeable through-hull underwater light, white

The interchangeable design of the ORA TIX404 is a key feature that allows maintenance of the LED assembly from inside the hull. This eliminates the need to take the boat out of the water for servicing or LED module replacement.

The ORA TIX404 underwater light delivers a verified luminous output of 5100 lumens. Its raw luminous output, before any loss, is 11,475 lumens.

The ORA TIX404 is a single-color underwater light emitting white light. Its color temperature is 6500K, which corresponds to a cool white.

The ORA TIX404 features an ultra-wide beam of 110°. This extended diffusion angle ensures maximum underwater light coverage.

The ORA TIX404 is made with a marine-grade bronze body and a borosilicate glass lens. These materials are specifically chosen for their robustness and resistance to demanding and corrosive marine environments.

The typical lifespan of the LEDs integrated in the ORA TIX404 light exceeds 50,000 hours of use, ensuring exceptional longevity.

The ORA TIX404 light is designed to operate across a wide DC voltage range, from 10.5 to 31 VDC.

The ORA TIX404’s maximum power draw is 4.0 A at 12 V and 2.0 A at 24 V. The average power consumption for a full system (including hub, controller, and display) is 145 W.

Yes, the ORA TIX404 is rated IP68. This rating means it is fully protected against dust and can withstand continuous immersion in water beyond 1 meter in depth.

The ORA TIX404 light integrates 12 white LEDs, each with a 10W output, powered by a HICOB matrix for optimal performance.

For standard installation of the ORA TIX404, a 57 mm (2.25“) hole must be drilled in the hull. If an insulation kit is used (for metal or carbon fiber hulls), the hole must be 64 mm (2.5“).

The ORA TIX404 light must be mounted on a flat surface of the hull. It is designed to be installed on the transom or on the sides of the hull.

It is recommended to use a high-quality marine sealant, such as 3M 4200 (or an equivalent product), to ensure a perfect seal and prevent any water infiltration into the hull.

Electrical connections are as follows: the red wire must be connected to the positive power source (+VDC) of 12V or 24V DC, and the black wire to ground (GND). Each light must be protected by an individual fuse.

Each ORA TIX404 light must be individually protected by a fuse. For 12V DC power, a 6A fuse is recommended. For 24V DC power, a 4A fuse is required.

Yes, the ORA TIX404 navigation light power cables can be extended. It is critical to use the appropriate gauge cable to avoid voltage drop issues. It is recommended to follow ABYC guidelines for a voltage drop not exceeding 3%.

No, the ORA TIX404 light has a simple ON/OFF operation. It will turn on in white as soon as it is powered, with no need for an external controller for its basic functions.

The manufacturer, Lumishore Ltd, guarantees the TIX 404 against manufacturing and material defects for a period of three years from the original purchase date. The warranty is void in case of misuse, incorrect installation, negligence, or unauthorized modifications.

Yes, the Garmin ORA TIX404 underwater light can be installed on metal or carbon fiber hulls. However, for these hull types, a specific isolation kit (part number 60-0210) is required to ensure correct installation and prevent galvanic corrosion.

For hulls made from other materials, such as fiberglass, the isolation kit is not required. In all cases, the light must be mounted on a flat surface of the hull, ideally between 100 and 300 mm (4 to 12 inches) below the vessel’s minimum waterline.

The term "interchangeable" for the Garmin ORA TIX404 underwater light refers to its unique design that allows the LED assembly to be removed and replaced from inside the boat's hull.

The main advantage of this feature is significantly simplified maintenance. You do not need to haul your vessel out of the water to perform service or replacement operations on the LED module, saving time and costs associated with dry-docking.
