Why Refit Your Yacht with LED Lights?
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) requires boats of all sizes to have proper lighting. What counts as proper lighting depends on your yacht’s size, type, propulsion method, and if you sail in reduced visibility conditions. Regardless of your yacht type, LED (light-emitting diode) lights are your best choice for the following reasons:
Improved Safety
High-quality yacht lights ensure that sailors and passengers have optimal visibility, regardless of the hour or weather conditions. LED bulbs of different brightness levels are available for a clear view inside and outside your yacht.
LED lights are also safer than traditional lighting systems because they generate less heat and are less likely to start a fire. Neither do LEDs contain any of the toxic mercury that is present in fluorescent lights.
Optimal Energy Efficiency
Unlike incandescent light bulbs that generate light by heating a wire filament, LED lighting consumes less energy and operates at lower temperatures. The lighting system’s low power consumption makes it the most cost-effective option for illuminating your yacht.
Long Life
The average LED light can last 8 to 25 times longer than other bulbs. Their durability owes to a lack of moving parts that can burn out or break easily.
The absence of delicate components makes LED lighting a better fit for yachts, which are subject to constant vibrations and tumultuous movements on the sea. The improved lifespan helps reduce your yacht’s maintenance costs.
Eco-Friendly
LED lights are environmentally friendly because their low power consumption reduces your carbon footprint. Disposing of used LED bulbs is also much safer because they do not contain poisonous chemicals or materials that can harm the environment.
Where Will LED Lights Make the Biggest Impact?
The right lighting system ensures a safe and enjoyable yachting experience. Let us install LED lights in the following parts of your boat to improve your vessel’s look and performance:
LED Boat Lights Interior
We have a wide selection of LED interior lights, including options to brighten your sleeping area, engine room, storage compartment, bridge, kitchen, and other rooms. We have LED lights in various colors ranging from 2500K to 6000K to ensure optimal lighting without hurting the eyes of your passengers.
We can also provide courtesy lighting that prevents accidents by illuminating low ceilings, passageways, and trip hazards.
Navigation Lights
Every yacht needs navigation lights to stay on course during low lighting conditions. The LED navigation lights we install include stern lights, sidelights, and masthead lights. Every navigation light we install is from a leading brand that manufactures durable products and adheres to the USCG’s latest regulations.
Spotlights
We can add waterproof LED spotlights to your boat that facilitate locating channel markers, buoys, docks, moorings, drawbridges, and more.
Underwater LED Boat Lights
Underwater LED lights are a must-have if you mostly use your yacht for night sailing or fishing. The installation provides a clear view of what’s in the water surrounding your ship, enabling you to navigate around obstacles or pursue your next catch. Underwater LED lights can also save lives if a passenger falls off your ship.
Another reason to install underwater LED lights is they make your yacht a gorgeous sight to behold at night. Depending on your preference or boat’s design, we can install surface-mounted underwater marine lights or mount the lights inside your boat’s hull. Every option we install can withstand the harshest environmental conditions.
Other Benefits to LED Boat Lights
If you need more convincing that switching to LED lights is the best choice for your yacht, here are more reasons yacht owners are going LED:
Night Fishing
You should be able to fish whenever you want, but you can’t go night fishing if you can’t see. We have specialized LED lights for night fishing that:
- Keep activities onboard your yacht safe
- Give you a clear view of the water
- Let other vessels know your location
Contact us to find out more about how we can upgrade your yacht for night fishing and other activities.
Dock Lighting
Dock lights are not part of your yacht, but they are nonetheless essential for safe operation. Talk to our experts about dock light installations to boost your visibility for safer docking and on/off-boarding while improving your overall yachting experience.
