Deck lighting

DECK LIGHTING AND SPOTLIGHTS

There are many different types of deck lighting, such as spotlights, spotlights, pendant lights and so on.

Some deck lights are manual, meaning they have to be switched on and off manually. Others are automatic, switching on and off automatically according to ambient brightness. There are also motorized deck lights, which can be oriented to illuminate different parts of the boat. Equipped with a motor integrated into the housing, they can be operated remotely from the cockpit. Be careful not to confuse deck lights with navigation lights, which are used to be seen and to communicate your position at sea.

These lights can be used to illuminate living areas or access points: stairs, ladders, pontoons, etc., to get around at night, but they are also used for searching at sea and during navigation to light up the distance. These are called search lights, and they project a powerful beam to scan the sea for danger, man overboard, etc.

Most boat searchlights can also be adapted for use on 4x4 or utility vehicles, as they are weather, shock and vibration resistant, and suitable for intensive outdoor use

TYPES OF MARINE FLOODLIGHT

There are many different types of boat floodlight, each with its own specific characteristics and uses. Some of the commonly used types include:

• Halogen floodlights: These use a halogen bulb to produce light. They are generally affordable and easy to find, but have a shorter lifespan and consume more energy than other types of floodlight.
• LED floodlights: These use light-emitting diodes to produce light. They generally last longer and consume less energy than halogen floodlights. They can be white, but also colored for a personalized ambience.
• Incandescent spotlights: These use incandescent filaments to produce light. Although no longer commonly used, some boat owners still prefer these spotlights for their warmth and warm light.

It's important to choose the type of floodlight that best suits the intended use of your boat, whether it's to be left on for a long time to illuminate the deck or outdoor areas, or to do research at sea. It can be motorized, with a built-in motor to steer it, or manual or simply fixed.
