Spreader LED 6518 Black Aluminum Series

Premium Marine LED Spreader Light for Larger Yachts – Multiple Light and Beam Options

The Spreader LED 6518 Black Aluminum Series is a high-performance marine LED spreader light developed for larger yachts and demanding marine applications. Designed for use with the R500 spreader profile, it combines focused illumination, low power consumption and a sophisticated marine design.

The housing is made from high-quality precision-turned aluminum with a black anodized finish. Its compact and modern appearance blends discreetly with the aesthetics of contemporary yachts.

With only 3.6W power consumption, an internal driver for 12V and 24V DC systems, IP67 protection and an LED lifetime of more than 40,000 hours, the Spreader LED 6518 provides reliable and energy-efficient exterior illumination.

Different beam and light color configurations are available to meet specific onboard lighting requirements. In addition to 4000K white illumination, selected configurations are available with atmospheric 2700K warm white or blue light. Further configurations can also be manufactured with blue illumination on request, subject to technical feasibility.

Light Color Options

White Light – 4000K

The 4000K version provides clear, natural white illumination with CRI >85. It is ideal for functional spreader, mast and deck lighting where excellent visibility and natural color rendering are required.

Combined with the focused beam geometry of the Spreader LED 6518, the 4000K version provides precise illumination for larger yacht installations while maintaining low onboard power consumption.

Warm White Light – 2700K

Selected Spreader LED 6518 configurations are also available with 2700K warm white illumination.

The softer warm white light creates an elegant and comfortable atmosphere and is particularly suitable for yachts where exterior lighting is intended to complement warm interior and ambient lighting concepts.

This makes the 2700K version an attractive option when functional exterior lighting and a refined nighttime ambience are equally important.

Blue Light

Selected Spreader LED 6518 configurations are available with blue LED illumination for atmospheric yacht exterior lighting.

Blue light creates a distinctive nighttime appearance and is ideal for sophisticated accent lighting around spreaders, mast and deck areas.

If blue illumination is required for another Spreader LED version or beam configuration, please contact us. As a manufacturer of marine lighting, we can produce selected Spreader LED configurations with blue illumination on request in our manufactory, subject to technical feasibility.

This provides yacht owners, shipyards and designers with additional flexibility when planning individual marine and yacht lighting concepts.

Beam Options and Illumination

The Spreader LED 6518 offers focused beam configurations developed for efficient illumination on larger yachts.

Light cone: 16°
Illuminated area: approximately Ø 2 m

Port / Starboard beam: 16 × 43°
Illuminated area: approximately 2 × 5 m

The focused beam geometry directs the light precisely onto the required area, making the Spreader LED 6518 particularly suitable for targeted spreader and deck illumination.

Different beam configurations provide flexibility for specific installation requirements while avoiding unnecessarily broad light distribution.

Available light colors depend on the selected beam and product configuration. For individual requirements or blue illumination in another configuration, please contact us to discuss the available manufacturing options.

Efficient Marine LED Lighting

With a power consumption of only 3.6W, the Spreader LED 6518 provides efficient yacht exterior illumination while keeping onboard energy consumption low.

The integrated driver supports both 12V and 24V DC electrical systems, allowing the fixture to be integrated into a wide range of yacht installations.

For additional flexibility, the Spreader LED 6518 is compatible with PWM dimmers. The brightness can therefore be adjusted according to the required function, situation or desired onboard atmosphere.

PWM dimmer not included.

Designed for Demanding Marine Environments

The Spreader LED 6518 has an IP67 protection rating, providing a high level of protection against water and dust for reliable operation in exposed marine environments.

Its precision-turned aluminum construction, black anodized finish and LED lifetime of more than 40,000 hours make it a reliable lighting solution for demanding yacht installations.

Whether used for new yacht builds, refits or lighting upgrades, the Spreader LED 6518 combines efficient LED technology with a discreet appearance designed for modern marine environments.

Installation Recommendation – TIKAL TEF-GEL

For a secure and long-lasting installation of the Spreader LED 6518 Series, we recommend using TIKAL TEF-GEL.

In marine environments, contact between dissimilar metals such as stainless steel fasteners and aluminum components can promote galvanic corrosion. TEF-GEL helps isolate these materials and provides additional protection for the installation.

Apply a thin layer of TEF-GEL to screw threads and relevant electrical contacts during installation. This helps protect against moisture, oxidation and contact corrosion and supports the long-term reliability of the marine lighting installation.
