Light-emitting diodes have spawned a revolution in marine lighting. Compact, efficient, long-lasting and bright, marine LEDs enhance safety at night and allow boating anglers to add illumination just about anywhere it’s needed.
You’ll find marine LEDs in navigation, spreader, search, underwater, cabin, courtesy, livewell and accent lights from a host of brands, including Aqualuma, Hella, Imtra, Lumitec, Lumishore, OceanLED, Rigid, Taco Marine and many others. The range of products can prove mind-boggling.
LEDs draw little power. For example, an old-school 50-watt Jabsco Halogen incandescent spreader light draws 4 amps at 12 volts and produces 9,900 candlepower. By comparison, the 12-watt Lumitec Caprera LED spreader draws just 1.3 amps at 12 volts and produces 1,000 lumens, which roughly translates to 12,570 candlepower.
As a result, boating anglers can now worry less…
