Converting To LED Lighting

LED has become the lighting solution of choice for newbuild vessels. Because of LED’s benefits and the increasing scarcity of incandescent and halogen lamps, vessels that are already in operation consider converting their conventional lighting installation to LED. Converting a conventional lighting installation to LED can be challenging. Improper engineering or the use of inadequate products may cause unexpected problems.

Efficient & Flexible

LED lighting life expectancy is much longer and uses less power than conventional lighting. This also reduces the required power of the existing electrical installation. LED lamps are available in many shapes, sizes and (multi) lighting colours, allowing completely new light experiences onboard. LEDs brightness and colour differ from conventional lighting. Changes in the lighting plan need to be taken in consideration.

Fixtures don't get hot since LED doesn't produce heat or infrared light. The power saving properties and absence of mercury makes LED an environmental friendly alternative to conventional lighting.

High Impact On The Installation

LEDs and their drivers are sensitive equipment that needs to be protected from external harmonics. Vessels with conventional lighting installations have been outfitted with non-screened cables. These cables need to be replaced by screened cables to ensure the proper functioning of the installation.

Converting the conventional lighting installation will often impact the existing installation on board, where ceilings will have to be lifted or fixtures/bodyworks can be replaced. RH Marine is well aware of the complications that this brings and has decades of experience with the standards in the yacht building industry to ensure minimal work on ceilings and fixtures.

Conversion Process

The four biggest issues with LED are dimming, heat, EMC and inrush current. Therefore, the right steps in the process need to be taken to ensure the correct functioning of the installation.

During pre-engineering, the correct working of the combination of LEDs, fittings, drivers and dimmers needs to be verified since conventional fixtures are generally not suitable for the LED installation.

The configuration of equipment needs to be tested on disturbances and performance before it is installed onboard.
