Underwater LED lights improve the boat's aesthetic appeal and visibility and draw fish for nocturnal fishing. Adding underwater LED boat lights can boost ambiance and illuminate your nights on the water.
What are Marine Underwater Lights?
Underwater lighting is installed beneath a boat's waterline to provide nighttime illumination of the sea. Onboat Marine uses robust, marine-grade materials, such as bronze, polycarbonate, and stainless steel, to make light bezels. Our underwater lights have a lower amp draw than traditional incandescent lights since they mostly run on DC. Although there are alternatives to basic white underwater lights, you can create a personalized display with colorful underwater lights and controllers for yourself and your visitors.

Choosing the Best Underwater Lighting for Your
Boat or Yacht
Choosing from a vast variety of underwater lights can be frustrating. So here we have listed some factors that you should consider while installing LED lights in boats:
1. Type and size of boat
- Small Boats
Lightweight, durable, and energy-efficient options such as the OceanLED Sport or the Lumishore EOS Series are great fits for smaller boats. The brightness provided by these lights is just right without taxing the boat's electrical system.
- Medium Boats
More potent lighting choices, like the Shadow-Caster SCM-10, are beneficial for medium-sized boats. These lights can illuminate a greater area and offer improved lighting.
- Large Boats
Larger boats need several installations of high-output lighting systems like the Metro Marine lights and surface mounts (SMX). These lights provide excellent brightness and thorough coverage. They provide magnificent safety and are appealing to viewers.
2. Lighting Purpose
- Aesthetically appealing
If improving the appearance of your boat is your main objective, then choose lights that can change color. For example, the EOS Series from Lumishore and the SCR-24 multiple-colour version from Shadow Castor. These lights produce amazing displays and are appealing to viewers.
- Navigation and safety
Opt for lights with wide beam angles and great luminance for safety reasons. Lumitec SeaBlazeX2, interchangeable thru-hull, and the Shadow-Caster SCM-10 are great options since they offer strong illumination of possible danger areas.
- Fishing at night
Fishermen can use fish-attracting lights. These lights attract fish to your boat in the darkness of the night. Underwater lights in blue and green are best for attracting fish. These lights will alleviate your fishing experience and make your time more enjoyable.
Conclusion
Whether seeking to increase utility, safety, or aesthetics, choosing the correct marine underwater lighting may make a big difference in your boating experience. You can make an educated choice by considering the kind and dimensions of your boat and your lighting requirements.
