Why consider LED underwater lights for your boat? LED underwater lights represent a new and unique opportunity to enhance the appearance and safety of your boat, all while using a bare minimum of power.
With recent advancing in marine lighting solutions, traditional bulbs, heat and maintenance are things of the past. LED lighting runs on a fraction of the power once required by traditional lighting, gives off no heat and lasts virtually forever.
There are several design elements to consider when thinking about an underwater LED lighting solution:
Spacing - Even spacing is important for the best results. And, don't forget to consider the position of drives, props, rudders and other underwater fixtures. These fixtures may cast shadows in the lighting area and cause lees-than-desirable results.
Swim Platforms - Swim platforms can often be deceptively deep, potentially casting a large shadow over the intended area. For best results, it is especially important to consider more lights, brighter lights and the very best lighting angle.
Color - Underwater LED lighting colors are only limited by your imagination. Whether you're trying to match the color scheme of your boat, set a mood or maximize impact, different colors will have different effects. Depending on your location (freshwater, brackish or salt), colors may penetrate at different distances and take on different tints.
Wildlife - Fish and sea life swarm in close, captivated by underwater LED lighting. Create your own personal aquarium! Add an underwater EYES Ocean Camera for video inside your boat's cabin (also great for prop and fixture inspections).
