Common types in the shipbuilding field
In the field of marine lighting, commonly used types of LED spotlights include fixed, rotating and portable spotlights. Fixed are usually installed in fixed positions on ships for continuous lighting. Rotating can flexibly adjust the direction to cover a wider area. Portable spotlights are suitable for use in different locations, providing flexible lighting solutions.
What is the optimal lumen of a marine LED spotlight?
The optimal lumen for a marine LED Light depends on the specific application requirements. Generally speaking, navigation and search and rescue missions require high-lumen spotlights, usually between 1,000 and 12,000 lumens. For example, the IMPA 791802 spotlight offers 12,000 lumens, which is ideal for high brightness needs. For general onboard lighting, a spotlight with 800 to 1,500 lumens is usually sufficient.
What is the difference between LED floodlights and spotlights?
The main difference between LED floodlights and spotlights is the beam angle and coverage. Spotlights emit a concentrated, narrow-angle beam, suitable for illuminating a specific area or object, and the beam angle is usually less than 45 degrees. Floodlights emit a wide-angle beam, covering a larger area, and the beam angle is usually above 45 degrees, suitable for large area lighting.
Choosing the right marine LED spotlight
There are several factors to consider when choosing the right marine LED Light:
- Beam distance and brightness: Choose the right lumen and beam angle according to the required lighting distance and brightness. with high lumens and narrow beam angles are suitable for long-distance lighting.
- Durability and waterproofness: The marine environment is harsh, and need to have high waterproof ratings (such as IP68) and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term use in salt water and high humidity environments.
- Energy consumption and battery life: Choose LED spotlights with high energy efficiency and low power consumption to reduce the burden on the ship’s power system. Long battery life is also an important consideration.
- Versatility: Some spotlights offer multiple light modes (such as spot, flood and strobe) to adapt to different usage scenarios and needs.
