The switch from fluorescent, incandescent, and halogen lighting to LEDs in the marine industry has been recent and rapid. Though LEDs make sense for any lighting situation, they are tailor-made for the marine industry. The combination of longevity, low heat, and minimal power consumption, are the three things that are of primary importance to the marine industry.
Halogen lighting which used to be the darling of marine lighting is now being shunned because of its’ extremely high operating temperature. Some fires have been traced directly to a flammable material coming close to (not against) a halogen light. Even wooden doors have been set on fire by halogens. Our LED strips are so cool you can put your fingers on them and not be burned while halogens must be 480 degrees Fahrenheit to produce light!


Power is the prime consideration in the marine industry. Many of our LED lights draw less than 1 watt of power. The single small light found at the entrance of many engine rooms draws 10 watts of power. An LED fixture that emits a similar amount of light draws just .84 watts. Think of it, you could put an LED unit behind each engine, behind each generator, and at the entrance to the engine room and still draw LESS THAN half the power you now draw using that single entrance light that does nothing to light the area behind engines or generators. The same is true of deck lights, step lights, and virtually every other light in your marine craft.
Anyone familiar with boats knows that sometimes getting to a light, to change the bulb is a near impossibility. That is where the LED shines. Most incandescent light sources have life expectancies rated in the hundreds of hours, halogens will go a thousand or with great quality perhaps 2,000 hours. Our LEDs have a conservative life expectancy of 85.000 hours. You will change a halogen more than 40 times before you even think about changing an LED. An incandescent you will change well over 80 times! Nice to say, but what if your led does not burn for 5 years? Well, then you will just have to be one of the first to take advantage of our limited warranty. Yes, warranty. Most light sources are warranted until the first time you light it up! If it comes on your warranty is over. Our LEDs are warranted for five years. You do not have to worry about paying for a replacement light for a full 5 years and about 99% of the time it will actually be more like 10 years!
