LED Refit

TESS provides LED lighting retrofit solutions for large yachts and mega-yachts, supporting vessels seeking improved energy efficiency, reduced electrical load, and enhanced onboard lighting performance. During refit projects, traditional incandescent or fluorescent lighting systems are replaced with modern marine-grade LED technology. These upgrades reduce power consumption, lower heat generation, and significantly extend fixture lifespan while improving lighting quality throughout the vessel.

Strategic Project Execution

Our engineers work closely with captains, vessel engineers, yacht management companies, interior Designers, and shipyards to ensure LED systems are properly integrated with the vessel’s existing electrical infrastructure.

LED refits can be implemented during scheduled shipyard periods or as part of broader electrical modernization projects. By reducing generator load, maintenance requirements, and overall energy consumption, LED refits provide a practical upgrade that improves both operational efficiency and onboard comfort for modern superyachts

Lutron’s systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with other onboard systems, ensuring that everything works in harmony.

Additionally, their fixtures are built with marine-grade materials for durability and safety in harsh marine environments. Lutron's commitment to energy efficiency helps superyacht owners reduce energy consumption, while its aesthetically pleasing designs ensure that the lighting enhances the luxurious atmosphere onboard.

Their expertise in high-end, customizable solutions for superyachts makes them a leader in the LED refit market.

LED System Design and Integration

LED lighting systems on large yachts and mega-yachts require careful engineering to ensure reliable operation within the vessel’s electrical environment.

Unlike conventional lighting, LED systems are sensitive to electrical conditions including harmonics, dimming compatibility, heat management, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and inrush current. Without proper integration, these factors can result in system instability, reduced performance, or premature component failure.

Many vessels originally fitted with conventional lighting utilize non-screened cabling, which is often unsuitable for LED installations. Upgrading to screened cabling and compatible components is essential to ensure stable operation and long-term system reliability.

During the pre-engineering phase, TESS verifies the compatibility of LED fixtures, drivers, dimming systems, and control interfaces to ensure seamless integration with the vessel’s electrical infrastructure and consistent performance across all lighting systems.

LED Refit Implementation and Integration

Converting conventional lighting systems to LED technology on large yachts and mega-yachts often impacts the existing onboard installation, including fixtures, cabling, and ceiling structures. TESS manages these upgrades with a focus on minimizing disruption to the vessel while maintaining the integrity of existing finishes and installations.

With experience in yacht refit environments, TESS plans and executes LED conversions to reduce unnecessary modifications to ceilings, fixtures, and surrounding structures, ensuring efficient installation during shipyard periods or onboard works.

To prevent common LED-related issues, TESS evaluates the vessel’s electrical system in detail and redesigns where required. Through structured pre-engineering and pre-testing of selected components, we verify system compatibility before implementation, ensuring reliable performance and seamless integration with the vessel’s electrical infrastructure.
