Overview
Light that carries through the water
The FL6 is the surface-mount underwater light in the Black Oak Marine line — six LEDs behind a 65° Hydro Block lens, driven at 40 watts, housed in a body milled from solid AB2 bronze. It installs through a single cable entry hole and three screws, in the transom, the hull, or on any flat surface above or below the waterline. Available in White, Deep Blue, and RGB color-changing.
Built to last in salt
Engineered like hardware, not electronics
Underwater lights fail at the seams and at the driver. The FL6 addresses both — a bronze body that belongs in seawater, and protection circuitry built into the light rather than bolted on downstream.
01Milled AB2 Bronze Body
Machined from solid AB2 aluminium bronze — the alloy used for propellers and thru-hull fittings. It resists saltwater corrosion and sinks heat away from the LEDs instead of trapping it.
02IP68 / IP69 / IP69K Sealed
Tested to three separate ingress standards covering continuous immersion, pressure, and high-temperature high-pressure washdown. Pass/fail standards, not marketing claims.
03Protected Driver Electronics
Reverse polarity protection and active thermal rollback are built into the fixture, so a miswire or an out-of-water test won't cost you the light.
Output
4,100 raw lumens, 65° of clean spread
Six LEDs behind new Hydro Block lens technology put a wide, even 65° wash into the water — enough reach to raise bait, light a wake, or turn the transom into a fishing platform on vessels up to 65 feet.

Three finishes of light
Choose your color
Each color is a dedicated LED array, not a filtered white light — white renders the truest color, deep blue is the most popular for looks, and RGB cycles the full spectrum from a simple on/off switch.

A transom that works after dark
Wake lighting, game fishing, bow fishing, bait lighting, dock lighting, accent lighting — one fixture covers all of it. Mount a pair on the transom for a symmetrical wash, or run four on larger vessels for full coverage behind the boat.
One through-hull. Three screws.
At 4.3″ in diameter and just 0.7″ deep, the FL6 surface-mounts flat to the transom or hull with a single cable entry hole and three stainless screws — no large thru-hull cutout, no fairing block. Stainless hardware is in the box.

FAQ
Questions, answered
How do I know these lights are high quality?
IP68, IP69, and IP69K are pass/fail standards, not descriptions — they cover water ingress, temperature, pressure, and brute force. The FL6 carries all three, and the body is milled from solid AB2 bronze, the same alloy family used for props and thru-hull fittings.
Do the underwater lights come with a harness?
No. Each light has a spliced pigtail and needs wiring and a switch to be operational. Wiring kits and switches are available as add-ons.
Does it need a thru-hull cutout?
No. The FL6 is a surface-mount fixture — it needs one cable entry hole and three mounting screws on any flat surface, above or below the waterline.
How do the RGB lights change color?
The RGB version cycles through colors from a simple on/off switch — no separate controller is required to run it.
How many lights do I need?
A pair on the transom is the most common setup and gives a balanced wash behind the boat. Larger vessels and dedicated fishing setups typically run three to four. The FL6 is recommended for vessels up to 65 feet.
Can I run it out of the water?
Yes. The FL6 is rated for use in and out of the water, and active thermal rollback protects the LEDs when there's no water to carry heat away.
What does the warranty cover?
If a light fails from workmanship or material defect, send it back and we'll verify it. Once confirmed, Black Oak LED will repair or replace it free of charge. The FL6 carries a 2-year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
