For the Starter/Easy lighting option, if your marine lighting fixtures are not too old and in reasonable condition, you simply swap out any halogen for LED replacement bulbs. LED bulbs typically just need to be replaced – that’s all there is to it.

For Midrange/Intermediate lighting option, you could consider removing older fixtures and then replacing them with LED lights. This means you need to pull the old lights down and then splice the new lighting in.

For the Expensive/Complicated lighting option, you may be interested in having to light all around your boat – in the engine room, around the interior, and even underwater boat lights. This requires a lot more work and may be worth looking to professionals to cover this kind of project.

Now we have had a brief look at how you might add LED lights to your boat, you may still need convincing LED lights are the way to go. Below we have highlighted three major benefits of choosing these forms of illuminations. Read More

Appealing Look

There’s no denying bright and vibrant LED lights look good. If you are looking to add some great aesthetics to your vessel, LED lights are the best option. You can usually choose from a multitude of colors. While you may need to be careful about navigation lights, all other lights can be whatever color you like.

You may need to remove old registration numbers or other graphics before applying new ones. To do this, use a heat gun to gently warm the old decal and use either a plastic scraper or a flat razor scraper to peel up the edge. (Be careful not to cut your Gelcoat or paint if you use a razor.) Be patient and gradually detach the old decal using a plastic scraper. Keep the heat gun moving so that you don’t burn your paint or Gelcoat. If there’s an adhesive residue left behind, use a solvent like Goo Gone or acetone to dissolve it, then rinse quickly and thoroughly with fresh water.

Excellent quality lights are determined not just by their brand but by the materials used in their construction, the illumination power they provide, and the style of the mount or housing.

Boat lights are not important from the point of view of aesthetics. Boat lights can provide real practical value for making it easier and more comfortable to spend time in your boat while offering protection against collisions.
