Light emitting diodes, commonly called LEDs, are the real unsung he- roes in the electronics world. In the simplest terms, an LED is made with two different kinds of semicon- ductor material:one type that has too many free electrons roaming around inside, and another type that doesn't have enough. When an electron from one material (the donor) gets pushed across a thin barrier and gets into tiny spaces in the other (the holes), a pho- ton or particle of light is produced. LEDs have been doing hundreds of different jobs for decades in all kinds of devices and applications. Amongst other...

Life Expectancy One of the main advantages of LED lighting technology over traditional methods is the longevity you can expect to see from the product. An LED is essentially an electronic component offering unparalleled reliability with no filaments A typical light bulb can be fragile, have strict installation procedures and get very hot. Some lights have been known to run in the 100's of degrees, whereas all OceanLED lights run typically less than 75 degrees Fahrenheit.The hotter a light runs the shorter the life. *Typical life expectancy of bulbs based on optimum conditions is as follows:...

Taking all this into consideration, when a manufacturer of an underwater light quotes the light output of the bulb manufacturer in Lumens, they are not taking into consideration the obstacles that will inevitably block the light.Therefore when a light output is given in Lumens this is not the light you will see, LUX is the proper measurement, but even then there are different ways to measure LUX. Some manufacturers quote light output in watts. Watts is simply a mea- surement of the power consumption of the light.lt is not light output and not useful when understanding brightness. Some...

Lens development is an ongoing process between OceanLED and Tritonium Optical technologies based in England. From the outset, three main problem areas plaguing the optical efficiency on traditional underwater lights were identified. Clarity, Strength and Sealife contamination OceanLED lenses are nearly optically perfect transmitting over 30% more light than borosilicate glass.Traditional underwater lights get tremendously hot and have to use borosilicate glass which handles having vast temperature differences on its surfaces. LEDs do not get warm in the beam, hence a newer more optically...

What is color temperature? Visible light is commonly described by its color temperature. It is well known that when an object,such as a lump of metal, is heated, it glows;first a dull red, then as it becomes hotter, a brighter red, then bright orange, then a brilliant white. Although the brightness varies from one material to another, the spectral distribution (color) of the glow is essentially universal for all materials, and varies depending on the temperature. This is a depiction of the color temperature scale of visible light measured in degrees Kelvin As shown, blue is...

In the event of a severe impact that breaks a lens there is no concern about water ingress as all of our lights are solid units with a potting compound denying even a drop of water to enter the boat. Unlike other companies whose 2"and even 4"hollow lights have only the plastic cap on the inside of the boat to keep out the sea. Can your bilge pumps keep up with a 2" or 4" hole in your boat? In addition to this, all OceanLED lights are protected by thermal cut outs so you can use the lights while underway without fear of ever damaging the light. Larger size lights are available with our...

The idea of underwater lighting appeals to al- most everyone, but the expense of hauling the boat, drilling holes and so on can seem daunt- ing. After visiting several boat companies in 2006 it became clear that on some boats there simply was not enough area to place underwa- ter lights evenly. However the Trim Tab was one area that seemed like a perfect place. ATrim Tab exerts a tremendous amount of vibration dur- ing use that would rapidly wear out a traditional filament style light. LED technology is vibration proof and a perfect solution for that location. Af- ter sea-trialing the...

Launched last year, the SuperYacht Division of OceanLED was greatly welcomed by some of the most prestigious shipyards worldwide, with a large number of new builds underway expect to see the Superyachts of 2008 onward illuminated by OceanLED. The SuperYacht Division is project managed case by case and is capable of making custom weld-in fixtures and complete electrical systems for each yacht. The division echoes the ethos the company was founded on – to create the most technically advanced LED underwater lighting systems tailored to each yacht. All OceanLED underwater lights are Lloyds...

The Mold IN from OceanLED introduces a totally new concept to customized underwater lighting for fiberglass hulls.The design of the bezel enables a pocket to either be molded or cut into the GRP hull to enable the light to be totally flush with the hull, therefore minimizing drag and thus improving fuel economy etc. The concept was born through the OceanLED technical team striving to achieve Aero- space precision, where research into Lamina flow and drag co-efficient are so crucial to performance. Pockets can be made to accommodate hull angles and maintain a perfectly equal light angle...
