Detailed description

The Garmin ECLIPSE SMX24, Single Light Surface Mount, Blue and White, is an underwater lighting solution designed for small boats. This model stands out for its surface-mount installation and its ability to provide dual-color lighting in blue and white.

Lighting performance and durability

With a verified luminous output of 3,100 lumens in white mode and a total of 6,975 lumens, the ECLIPSE SMX24 delivers extended illumination thanks to its 90° beam angle. It integrates 12 blue 3 W LEDs and 9 white 5 W LEDs (cold white). Designed to withstand marine environments, its housing is made of marine-grade bronze and its lens of borosilicate glass, ensuring IP68 protection against dust and immersion. Its typical LED lifespan exceeds 50,000 hours.

Simplified installation and control

The ECLIPSE SMX24 is optimized for surface-mount installation on the transom or hull sides, with a recommended depth of 100 to 300 mm below the waterline. Its design includes a driver and 2-wire connections for easy implementation. The system operates on 12 V DC (range 10.5–15 VDC) with a maximum current draw of 2.5 A and an average power of 30 W. Lighting modes (white, blue, strobe, fade) can be activated via a simple on/off switch. For advanced control, the device is compatible with the Garmin Lumishore ECLIPSE control center (sold separately), enabling additional dynamic effects and control via compatible multifunction displays and smart devices via Wi-Fi.

Positioning and compatibility

Intended for boats up to approximately 40 feet, the ECLIPSE SMX24 provides a high-performance, durable underwater lighting solution. It positions itself as an accessible and easy-to-install alternative compared to more complex recessed systems. For conductive hulls under 7.5 meters, the use of an isolation kit (39-0203) is mandatory. This product comes with a 3-year warranty, attesting to its reliability for marine applications.

Expert opinion

« Technical analysis of the Garmin ECLIPSE SMX24 underwater lighting »

The Garmin ECLIPSE SMX24 underwater light is a relevant solution for owners of small and medium-sized boats (up to 40 feet) looking to add hull lighting without the constraints of a recessed installation. Its surface-mounted design significantly simplifies the process, reducing the need for specialized tools and the risks associated with hull structural integrity. The integration of a driver and a two-wire connection simplifies wiring, making this model accessible even for installation by a skilled DIYer or a general marine electrician. It is designed to be installed 100 to 300 mm below the waterline, typically on the transom or hull sides, offering flexible placement options.

This model is particularly suited to boats with a 12 V DC electrical system, avoiding the need for converters or specific power supplies. While it can be controlled by a simple switch for basic modes (white, blue, strobe, fade), its full potential is unlocked with the Garmin Lumishore ECLIPSE control unit. This allows finer color and dynamic effect management via an MFD or smartphone, providing an enhanced user experience. It is essential to note that for conductive hulls under 7.5 meters, the 39-0203 isolation kit must be used to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure the longevity of the installation. The ECLIPSE SMX24 is a judicious choice for those seeking a reliable, durable underwater light (marine-grade bronze body, borosilicate glass lens, IP68) that is easy to implement for retrofitting or initial equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What lighting colors are available with the Garmin ECLIPSE SMX24?

The Garmin ECLIPSE SMX24 provides dual-color lighting in blue and white.

What is the luminous intensity of the Garmin ECLIPSE SMX24?

The Garmin ECLIPSE SMX24 has a luminous output of 3,100 lumens in white mode and a total of 6,975 lumens.

What is the beam angle of this underwater light?

This underwater light has a wide 90° beam angle for extended illumination.

What materials are used for the housing and lens of the Garmin ECLIPSE SMX24?

The Garmin ECLIPSE SMX24 housing is made of marine-grade bronze and its lens is borosilicate glass, ensuring durability in marine environments.

What is the typical lifespan of the LED lights in the ECLIPSE SMX24?

The typical lifespan of the ECLIPSE SMX24 LEDs exceeds 50,000 hours.

Is the Garmin ECLIPSE SMX24 water- and dust-resistant?

Yes, the Garmin ECLIPSE SMX24 has an IP68 rating, making it resistant to dust and water immersion.

What are the available lighting modes and how to switch them?

The lights operate in white, blue, random strobe, and color fade modes. To change modes, simply turn the switch off and back on within 2 seconds. To return to white mode, turn the lights off for 5 seconds; they will always power on in white mode the first time they are activated.

Is it normal to see condensation inside the light fixture?

Yes, small amounts of condensation can appear. This is normal for high-power LEDs and will disappear after cooling without affecting the light's operation.

How to clean and maintain the ECLIPSE SMX24 underwater light?

For cleaning, we recommend using a soft cloth or a soft-bristle brush. It is important to regularly check that the light body and lens are free of marine growth. Do NOT use abrasive cleaning materials, solvents, acids, alkalis, or high-pressure cleaning equipment or sandblasting.

At what depth below the waterline should the Garmin ECLIPSE SMX24 be installed?

Installation is recommended between 100 and 300 mm (4 to 12 inches) below the minimum waterline of your vessel for optimal underwater illumination.

On which type of surface and in which location can the Garmin ECLIPSE SMX24 be mounted?

The light must be mounted on a flat surface (not curved). For underwater installations, it must be fixed only on the transom or the sides of the hull.

What are the electrical voltage requirements for the Garmin ECLIPSE SMX24?

The Garmin ECLIPSE SMX24 operates on a 12–24 V DC supply (range 10.5–31 V DC). It must never be connected directly to an AC supply or to any DC voltage outside this range.

Do you need to use a fuse for each ECLIPSE SMX24 light?

Yes, each light must be individually protected by a fuse. The correct rating is 4A for a 12V installation and 2A for a 24V installation.

What are the hole dimensions to drill for installation?

For installation, you will need to drill:

Pilot holes for screws: 3.5 mm (9/64"). A hole for the cable: 7 mm (9/32"). A recess for the gland: 13.5 mm (17/32") in diameter and 15 mm (5/8") deep.

Which type of marine sealant is recommended for installation?

It is recommended to use a marine sealant such as 3M 4200 or an equivalent to ensure watertightness during installation.

How to connect the electrical cables for the light?

The cable connections are as follows:

The red wire must be connected to +VDC (12V or 24V DC). The black wire must be connected to ground. All connections must be made watertight.

Is the Garmin ECLIPSE SMX24 suitable for all boat sizes?

The Garmin ECLIPSE SMX24 is optimized for small craft and is recommended for boats up to 7.5 metres (25 feet).

Is an insulation kit required for installation on certain hull types?

Yes, an insulation kit (reference 39-0203) MUST be used on boats with conductive hulls.

Can multiple SMX24 lights be controlled with an ECLIPSE control unit?

Yes, you can control up to 4 lights per ECLIPSE control unit on boats operating on 12V only. For more than 4 lights, a specific wiring configuration is required where each SMX24 red light is connected to +12V (individually fused) and the black to ground, while the yellow wire of the ECLIPSE harness connects to the yellow wire of the SMX24.
