LIET has been designed to become the world’s most highly advanced, intelligent, high output LED lighting collection, ensuring that 100 per cent LED lighting for yachts is now a reality. The first LIET model was LIET6, which is now been followed by the launch of LIET3. Both models feature spectacular brightness, stylish bezel designs and unrivalled efficiency when compared to standard halogen bulbs and current leading LED competitor products.

LIET is housed in an attractive polymer body that is just 9mm thick, yet incorporates the light’s entire electronic driver circuitry. This includes a built in 0-10v dimming system compatible with all known control systems and a self-diagnostic fault indication system surrounded by precision optics over each LED in the unit.

LIET3 is small and attractive, yet boasts an immense amount of power. In LIET3, the high power LEDs consume a miniscule 2.7w in total, yet due to its innovative design creates the equivalent light output of a 35w Halogen bulb.

All lights in the LIET range have been designed with a 60 degree beam, coveted correct color temperatures and a perfect evenness of light spread to prevent dark or light spots.

Lee Savage, CEO, OceanLED says, “LIET is the result of years spent at the forefront of the marine lighting industry, combined with a continued ambition for lighting perfection driven by my father, Nigel. The use of the LIET range is changing how yachts are built; with massive reductions in areas such as cable weight, power consumption and heat emissions, smaller A/C units can be used, as well as smaller onboard generators, leading to lower fuel consumption and ultimately more efficient yachts with reduced carbon footprints. LIET will lead the way for the industry and is set to become the most forward thinking lighting collection of our generation.”

LIET3 and LIET6 are available in both surface and fully recessed models available in soft white (2600K), warm white (3200K), bright white (4000K) and cool white (6500K).

LIET3 retails at $149, Liet6 retails at $199.

Paul van Gelderen led a discussion on the theory and technical aspects of LED technology, explaining that it was the development and use of phosper in the lights that allowed the technology to continue its rapid technological change. He also highlighted the need for good optics, thermal management and drive electronics. This discussion was expanded upon by David Venhaus who talked about how the lights are integrated into the design process and the types of products that can use the technology. The final part of the session was from OceanLED’s team who showed off how LEDs lights are tested for quality and durability, with Nigel Savage explaining the current state of the industry and where it might be going. Issues raised by delegates included the life span of LEDs and the problems of replacing the ones fitted to any given yacht in the future, with the type and technology changing so fast – will there be any spares in essence. In response the panel said the LEDs have a life span of approximately 50,000 hours or 15 years (depending on quality and usage), which is far longer than comparable light types. The problem of spares was acknowledged, and it was felt that the answer was to require specific answers from manufacturers and suppliers on the life span, quality and future of products bought. With it suggested it would be wise to buy spares at the start of a yacht's life.

To date, OceanLED has invested over £2.5 million on the research and development of its LED technology. The investment includes new computer software, the appointment of lighting specialists, state-of-the-art machinery, partnerships with leading lighting bodies and rigorous testing processes.

In particular, the company has employed several lighting experts to work in its specialist new Optical Laboratory. The Optical Laboratory features a high quality Integrating Sphere, designed to measure the total flux of

LEDs, lamps and other light sources, ensuring that accurate measurements of light output can be obtained at all times. The laboratory also features InfraRed thermal measuring equipment, time logging computer tracing and the very latest in electronic monitoring hardware.

During the development of LIET, OceanLED has employed the use of Eulumdat and IES (Illuminating Engineering Society) data files. These data files are used to express the light output of luminous intensity verses the angle of the light, enabling simulation of the LED lights in false environment setup i.e. computer simulated rooms.

Robotic liquid gasketing machinery - specifically designed for use in underwater products - has been purchased by OceanLED, to ensure all lights in the range are perfectly sealed with no room for human error. This has been combined with an investment in tooling for custom precision optics on each new product introduced by the company,

LIET has been manufactured using full 3D CAD designs and laser printed stereolithography (SLA) prototype modeling to enhance the unit’s reliability prior to its injection moulding. OceanLED has also heavily invested in 3D thermal modeling software, so before metal is even cut or plastic is moulded, the engineers already know the thermal characteristics of the product are within parameters, saving weeks even months of trial and error testing.

Throughout the development of LIET, OceanLED has forged strong partnerships with ‘The Lighting Association’ of Great Britain, as well as other leading lighting bodies and professors from the country’s top universities. These relationships have enabled the company to extend and share its renowned lighting expertise.

OceanLED uses Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing for all of its lights. In addition each new production product is passed through a seven stage rigorous testing process to check for quality issues such as under and over voltage, earth leakage, water ingress and colour/lumen accuracy.

LIET has been shortlisted for the 2009 annual Design Award for Marine Equipment (DAME) Award at this year’s METS.

OceanLED, world leader in LED marine lighting has teamed up with Crestron, one of the marine industry’s leading AV and lighting control system manufacturers, to co-exhibit at METS in Amsterdam next week.

OceanLED is showcasing LIET, the world’s first true LED lighting solution to the marine industry. With perfect 0-10v dimming, high frequency driver technology and protective software all built into the 9mm thin LIET engine combined with the smooth integration of the Crestron control, both systems will be shown in their best light!

Following an intensely successful public launch at the recently concluded Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), where the LIET products were controlled using Crestron’s DIN Rail lighting range and the new cutting-edge wireless TPS-6X touch screen system, OceanLED could not be more excited about the upcoming METS event.

“Exhibiting with Crestron was a master stroke. Not only did it illustrate exactly how the system worked, but it showcased the ease of our new LIET’s integration,” comments Nigel Savage, COO and founder of OceanLED. “Too many projects have been stumped by either poor integration of a control system, and/or bad lighting fixtures. With LIET designed specifically to be controlled either intelligently or simply, integrators have been falling over themselves to get samples.”

Globally, OceanLED has been working with companies that are able to successfully support the integration needs of its leading lighting technology. In the United States OceanLED has developed a solid relationship with PI Marine, an integration company based out of Maine, Massachusetts and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In Europe the company has recently aligned itself with Concept Clarity, an experienced architectural company that is bringing its expertise to the marine industry.

“With lighting design being our forte, control integration needs to be left to the experts,” continues Nigel. “Having reliable and technologically advanced relationships in place, allows us to deliver the best possible service to our clients.”

METS is set to be the perfect showcase for anyone wanting to see both the revolution LIET is bringing to the marine lighting sector and the very best of control integration with Crestron.

Nigel Savage and Chris Harris-Marsh, R&D Director for OceanLED are also due to present to the delegates at the Global SuperYacht Forum (GSF) on Wednesday 18 November at 3:15; a full exposé on LED lighting, it promises to provide valuable insight into the myths and truths behind OceanLED‘s cutting-edge technology.

As an extension to this exposé, OceanLED for the very first time in history will be exhibiting with their Integrating Sphere on their booth. An integrating sphere is designed to measure the total flux of LEDs, lamps and other light sources; the intention is to expose the truths behind real colour content, true lumen output, fixture efficiencies and lots more.

LIET has also been shortlisted for the 2009 annual Design Award for Marine Equipment (DAME) Award at this year’s METS.

OceanLED will be exhibiting at METS, Amsterdam, 17th, 18th, 19th November Booth # 03.312.

With the launch of its latest innovation, leading underwater lighting manufacturer OceanLED® has brought yachtingʼs above-water world out of the dark and into the LIET™ — the companyʼs revolutionary new
interior/exterior product range that makes 100-percent LED lighting for yachts a beautiful reality.

In developing its LIET range, OceanLED has perfected methods of achieving optimal color temperature for a wide
range of interior and exterior lighting applications. This is achieved using three different LED color temperature options in concert with a range of color correction filters. Together, these ensure ideal illumination options for highlighting both the interior and exterior design elements of todayʼs most exquisite yachts.

The first OceanLED LIET models to be introduced are the LIET3 and LIET6. Both feature spectacular brightness,
stylish bezel designs and unparalleled efficiency when compared to standard halogen bulbs or competitive LED
products. Each light is housed in an attractive polymer body that is only 9mm thick, yet incorporates the lightʼs
electronic driver circuitry (eliminating the need for separate LED drivers). This housing also includes a built-in 0-10V dimming system as well as a self-diagnostic fault indication system. Precision optics over each LED in the unit ensure brilliant, flawless illumination.

These lights are made small and attractive for use throughout a vessel, yet they boast impressive illuminating
power. For example, the OceanLED LEIT6 consumes only 5.3W total, yet delivers 584 lumens in the first stage
output prior to secondary stage collimated magnification via TIR (total internal reflection), boosting peak intensity by more than 500-percent. At up to 10 times brighter than the competition, OceanLED LIET6ʼs innovative design creates the equivalent light output of a GU10 50W halogen bulb.

OceanLEDʼs exclusive filters are designed to subtly shift the hue to best suit certain onboard environments. For example, adding just a hint of pink to the LED light to accentuate the décor or linens in the master stateroom, or adding a touch of amber hue to highlight the striking details in the marble elements of a master bath. This brilliant yet simple system of managing color temperatures and hues makes lighting a central element of modern yacht design, rather than a challenge to overcome.

OceanLEDʼs new LIET system is beautiful in other significant ways, as well. “The impact of our LIET range goes beyond attractive illumination — it has the potential to change how yachts are built,” said Lee Savage, CEO at OceanLED. “The use of the LIET range will allow for massive reductions in cable weight, power consumption and heat emissions. Smaller A/C units can therefore be used, as well as smaller onboard generators, which translates
to lower fuel consumption. Ultimately, LIET will lead to more efficient yachts with reduced carbon footprints,
showing the true power of our forward-thinking lighting solution.”

All lights in the OceanLED LIET range feature a 60-degree beam, correct color temperatures and perfectly even
light spread to prevent light or dark spots. The LIET3 and LIET6 are available in both surface and fully recessed models in soft white, bright white and daylight, with a range of optional color correcting filers. An anti-glare honeycomb baffle to discreetly conceal the lighting unit is also available.

The addition of the new OceanLED® EYES™ thru-hull camera system to any vessel can literally bring new life and
enjoyment to every boating and fishing adventure. Developed by the leader in innovative underwater LED lighting
systems, the OceanLED EYES camera provides a high-definition (520 TV lines) image of the underwater world,
perfect for viewing on a salon television or plasma screen, as well as on compatible marine electronics displays at the helm or flybridge. This sophisticated camera system has a range of marine applications for fishing, diving, pleasure boating, surveillance/safety or commercial use.

At night — when used in conjunction with OceanLED’s underwater lighting — the OceanLED EYES camera lets
boaters and fishermen enjoy the wide variety of sea life attracted to these bright lights. OceanLED’s blue LED
lights have proven especially effective in attracting baitfish and predatory gamefish during nighttime hours, creating a natural aquarium under your boat. Anglers and nature watchers alike benefit from the blue light’s calming effect, which both attracts and holds marine life, baitfish and gamefish species near the boat.

The versatile OceanLED EYES camera is ideal for daytime use as well, providing a unique look at the world
under the waves. Offshore tournament anglers are utilizing the sharp underwater images from OceanLED EYES
cameras to capture all the action and document big game catches for judging verification. For example, Team Get Lit’s 53’ Viking Sportfish features an array of OceanLED EYES cameras — two transom units facing aft, one each to port and starboard just forward of the transom, and one underneath the hull looking straight down. Combined with an assortment of OceanLED underwater lights, it is truly “lights, camera, action” when these winning anglers hit the water in search of big game.

Requiring only a 1-3/8” cutout, the OceanLED EYES camera is easy to install and rugged enough to handle the
toughest sea conditions. Each camera features a streamlined aluminum bronze bezel combined with a marine
grade aluminum casing, ensuring long life and structural integrity in the harsh marine environment. Designed for
fiberglass hulls up to 3.5” thick (or aluminum/steel hulls utilizing the optional Delrin isolating sleeve) with an overall length of 4”, the OceanLED EYES camera is designed for easy mounting in a wide variety of locations. The low-profile bezel is designed to minimize interference with the hull’s running performance, wherever it is installed.

OceanLED uses a wide-angle (92.6-39.4 degree) lens with an ultra low LUX (0.01) image sensor for a clear
picture and superior viewing in all light conditions. The external optical lens features a rugged Tritonium™ coating that protects the lens against abrasion and makes removal of sea growth easy.

“Once boaters glimpse the beauty and variety of life that exists beneath the waves, they won’t settle for
getting half the picture anymore,” says Lee Savage, President of OceanLED. “These cameras make an ideal
complement to our underwater brilliant lighting systems. Whether you’re fishing, diving or just enjoying a leisurely cruise, having our camera system onboard opens up a new window on the world. Plus, keep your ‘eyes’ peeled for amazing creatives for the OceanLED EYES and other new product lines from our new partner, renowned
marine photographer and artist Tony Ludovico at TLUV images, see his work online at www.tluvimages.com or

OceanLED® has announced the appointment of Brunswick Marine Parts and Accessories (P&A) (Land ʻNʼ Sea
Distributing, Kellogg Marine and Diversified Marine) to take on national distribution of its comprehensive range of industry-leading LED underwater and above-water lighting. “I am very impressed by the Brunswick Marine P&A distribution network and its operations. They have kept to a true marine distribution program and I feel strongly that this partnership is going to strengthen our brick-and-mortar dealer relationships moving forward,” says OceanLED CEO Lee Savage.

OceanLED, already partnering with nearly 50 percent of U.S. OEMs, was recently awarded a major contract
for its new OceanLED Amphibian™ line with Sea Ray® boats for supplying their underwater lighting options.
OceanLEDʼs products underwent a comprehensive Brunswick testing and evaluation process that took nearly
two years. “We can be proud that our products are among the few that have stood up to the trials and rigor of that Brunswick testing requires — itʼs a real affirmation of our continued leadership in the industry. Weʼre looking forward to a great show season for the rest of this year and 2010,” says Savage.

“The decision to partner with OceanLED was a simple one, given its high-quality reputation, and the presence of
the product on many new boats. With the addition of its comprehensive product line, we are now positioned to be the one-stop provider of LED lighting to our customer base,” says Tom Schuessler, President of Brunswick Marine Parts and Accessories.

Brunswick Marine P&A is the largest full-service, wholesale distributor of marine products in North America.
Carrying over 50,000 different parts and accessories in 14 warehouses across the U.S. and Canada, the
companyʼs three divisions (Land ʻNʼ Sea Distributing, Kellogg Marine and Diversified Marine) serve over 15,000
dealers. With a fleet of over 100 company-owned delivery trucks, Brunswick Marine P&A provides same day/next day delivery to over 90 percent of the recreational boating market. Additionally, Land 'N' Sea serves over 60 additional countries worldwide.

The innovators at OceanLED® have designed their unique LED lighting solutions to set a shining example on or in
the water — night or day, rain or shine. They had a chance to demonstrate just how much of a difference their
lights can make in extreme circumstances recently during a night of torrential rains at Coconut Grove, Miami, Florida. The company outfitted two 26-foot Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIBs) owned by Sea Tow Key Biscayne with 5 OceanLED 3010 Super White underwater lights and 5 OceanLED Amphibian A12s Super Whites into the
T-tops — to blaze a new trail for potential commercial use for nighttime recovery and rescue operations.

OceanLED’s innovations in marine lighting have become well known for enhancing the beauty of nighttime
boating — from dramatic rooster tails to incredible brightly lit auras at anchor for a wide range of boats. However, the company’s unique lighting solutions that are both decorative and highly functional are perfectly applicable in a commercial environment. The OceanLED lights on board the RHIBs lit up a wide area during the demonstration, without the glare that can come from traditional lighting solutions. This new lighting application provides better night vision, allowing the crew to monitor personnel and equipment in the water, and accurately assess the
situation, conditions, channel location, depth and any underwater debris with more acuity than ever
before possible.

First responders are typically outfitted with 5 x 75watt halogen spreader lights on their vessel’s T-top, augmented by hand-held flashlights, which provide a somewhat limited scope of vision in the dark. OceanLED was able to demonstrate a brilliant alternative that provided unprecedented illumination from both beneath the boats with the incredibly bright OceanLED 3010 lights cutting a swath through the waves, and from above with the company’s
new Amphibian lights visible even through pouring rain and darkness. With all of this added visual ‘firepower,’ came a massive reduction of power draw from the typical lighting setup, by over 90%. This in turn reduces fuel consumption and replaces the need for flashlights and wasteful battery use which ultimately results in land
fill wastage.

“We wanted to show that our lights could safely extend and facilitate recovery and rescue operations at night,” says Capt. Ky Smith, Commercial and Military Category Manager for OceanLED USA LLC. “First responder boats are small, and don’t have the generators or self contained power systems that larger boats do, so getting lights as bright as OceanLEDs models wasn’t an option before — and we’re thrilled to provide this as an application in the commercial market moving forward.”

It was back in December 2004 when father and son team Nigel and Lee Savage had a brilliant idea — to develop
and produce a simple underwater light that never needed a new bulb. In less than five years, the company
launched by this illuminating initiative — OceanLED of Warwickshire, United Kingdom — has changed the way
boaters around the world viewed the night. Today, with offices on three continents and an insatiable drive to
pioneer new technology, the company continues to light the way for new innovations in the marine market.

From the beginning, OceanLED recognized the inherent qualities of the Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology
and its potentially huge advantages in marine applications. These include operational life exceeding 40,000
hours, low heat generation, low power draw with no start-up current required, and the ability to cycle on and off
1,000,000 times without affecting life expectancy. The company’s thorough understanding of electronics and
thermal management, combined with 25 years of lighting experience, positioned Ocean LED to produce the first
LED lighting systems providing boaters with unmatched light output, versatility and rock-solid reliability.

The company broke new ground with its 2005 introduction of the Ocean LED Thru-Hull lighting systems — the first
to require only a 1-inch hole. A family of new products based on this technology opened up premium underwater
lighting to new classes and categories of vessels. Easy to install and fit onto vessels of almost any size,
OceanLEDs family of Thru-Hull lights opened up the eyes of boaters and the boat building industry worldwide.
These widely accepted lights — available in three true colors and a range of Thru-Hull and Flush Mount
configurations — have shown fishermen, sailors and power cruisers a new way to enjoy their boats at night.

Not surprising given its success and global acceptance, LED lighting has become the industry standard for
underwater illumination. With patent protection on all its products, an aggressive Research and Development
program and a natural drive for improvement, OceanLED will continue to stay ahead of — and outshine —its
competitors worldwide.

Its recently introduced OceanLED Amphibians® line has brought LED lighting to an even broader spectrum of
boaters. The first marine LED lighting system specifically designed for use above and below the water, as the
product name would suggest, OceanLED Amphibians can easily be used anywhere a bright, reliable light is
needed. Whether lighting up dark waters, providing illumination on deck or in the engine room, or even mounted
on the trailer or tow vehicle for nighttime launching/retrieval, these innovative lights do it all — brilliantly.

As one would expect from an industry leader, OceanLED is always hard at work improving LED technology and
developing new uses for its lighting systems. Recent work with famed Holland-based custom megayacht builder
Kuipers and Canadian vessel engineer/owner Phillip Keeping resulted in the first new yacht built entirely using
LED lighting. Every part of the elegant 31-meter M/Y Beothuk is illuminated with LED Liets engineered by
OceanLED — interior and exterior, above and below the waterline. The exclusive use of advanced LED
technology throughout offers many advantages to the yacht manufacturer/designer, including increased efficiency,
reduced weight (due to elimination of heavy cables and wiring) and smaller generators and smaller A/C units due
to lower amounts of heat generated by onboard lighting.

One result of this successful collaboration is a new breakthrough in LED lighting — which OceanLED calls
“Liet” — that the company will officially unveil to the boating world in the Summer of 2009. This advanced new
lighting technology offers important advancements for the marine industry, including LED lighting systems that
contain the drivers and the dimmer functions within the lights themselves, providing superior operation and
versatility with fewer components and connections.

“It’s amazing how far we’ve come with LED technology in only a few years,” said OceanLED founder/COO
Nigel Savage. “What began as a concept for a simple, maintenance-free underwater light has evolved into new
products ready to meet all the lighting needs of the modern sportfishing vessel, luxury yacht, center console or
runaround. It’s testimony to our great Research & Development department and our dedicated people who thrive
on new challenges.”

News flash: the economy is struggling — and many have feared that the marine industry was practically dead in
the water. (Unless you’ve been living on another planet for the past year or so, you’ve probably heard that too many
times to count.) However, the industry leaders at OceanLED® are thrilled to report that the recent Miami International Boat Show was their most successful one to date, thanks to a strong presence — both in the booth and at the docks — and a well received launch of a new line of unique lighting systems.

While attendance at the show was reportedly down by more than 25 percent compared to last year, you’d never know it from the constant hive of activity at the OceanLED booth throughout the entire run. “We were thrilled at the response we received from day one in Miami,” says Lee Savage, OceanLED CEO. “It’s clear that we’re hitting the right note with boat builders and boat owners alike with our new Amphibian® Line, the first LED lighting collection created to be used both in and out of the water, as well as our complete line of advanced LED systems and accessories. It’s a great affirmation to receive from the industry, and we’re excited about how our brand will be resonating with the U.S. market moving forward.”

OceanLED wasn’t the only booth bustling with attendees — Crook & Crook, an electronics, fishing and marine retailer that’s been in business since 1958 shared that this Miami Boat Show generated sales that were unexpectedly robust, and a significant portion of Crook & Crook’s total show sales came from OceanLED’s lines. “In large part, our success at the show is directly attributed to the fact that we were selling OceanLED’s innovative products,” says K.C. Crook, the company’s president. “We had other vendors whose sales were down somewhat, but we encountered tremendous acceptance and enthusiasm for OceanLED’s line — their new Amphibians in particular were a perfect fit for countless boaters at the show — it was a huge home run.”

OceanLED was lighting up more than the faces of those at their booth and Crook & Crook’s — its brilliant LED lights were blazing a trail at the docks for companies like Marquis, Viking, Fairline, Cranchi and Riviera yachts providing an incredibly colorful light show for nighttime enjoyment of thousands of marine enthusiasts dockside.

“The OceanLED lights installed along the entrance to the display gave the environment an upscale and inviting ambience that enhanced the Marquis Yachts brand every evening of the show. We are certain that the lighting effects provided by OceanLED products contributed to additional evening traffic in our display. They worked flawlessly throughout the event,” said Dick Nocenti, Director of Marketing & Communications for Genmar Yacht Group.”

With the introduction of its Pro-Series Model 3010™ Thru-Hull lighting systems, marine illumination specialist
OceanLED® has given boats of all sizes the best of both worlds. Requiring just a 1” thru-hull (the industry’s
smallest) yet offering an array of 35 Super Bright LEDs, the OceanLED 3010 can be installed in tight spaces or
places where cutting a larger hole isn’t practical. For its size, it delivers the highest level of dependable illumination (in white, blue or green) to light up the darkness around a full range of vessels.

Compared to its equivalent HID bulb competitors, it delivers the same light output and even more over some
models but with its versatile quick-fit installation, long LED life (50,000 operational hours versus 2,000 for HID)and inherent low power consumption, the OceanLED 3010 is an ideal choice for power cruisers, sportfishers and sailboats. For further versatility, the OceanLED 3010 operates on 12/24V DC or 110/240V AC input giving many more options over AC only HID models.

Whether entertaining in port, relaxing at anchor, adding some “dazzle” to a midnight cruise or piercing the
darkness to attract baitfish and big game offshore, this lighting system will outshine any boater’s expectations.

The OceanLED 3010 delivers brilliant light that penetrates far below the surface — yet this system is engineered
to “keep its cool.” With OceanLED’s strategic thru-hull design, the entire light engine is held on the outside of the vessel’s hull and maintains full contact with the water, providing unprecedented cooling. Unlike traditional bulb lights, all OceanLED thru-hull systems are factory sealed a major advantage in marine conditions. Replacing bulbs opens up the internal workings of bulb lights to corrosion from the inside out, a major concern for any boater. Many companies recommend using copious amounts of grease to aid this issue, but it’s a stop gap — not a solution. Since they are built for life underwater, OceanLED lights provide reliable performance under the most
challenging conditions, season after season.

The OceanLED 3010’s 30mm profile head makes this light ideal for transom or hull installations. Because it
requires only a 1” hole and hook up using simple Deutsch connectors, it is easy to install a series of these lights for maximum lighting effect and coverage of the underwater world. Like all OceanLED thru-hull light systems,
Model 3010 is suitable for use on fiberglass, GRP and wooden hulls, and can be installed on aluminum or
steel hulled boats using the included Delrin isolation sleeve. All OceanLED thru-hulls utilize the company’s
groundbreaking Tritonium lens coating that is highly scratch resistant and makes cleaning and maintenance
a breeze.

Boaters can rest assured that OceanLED’s purpose-built thru-hull lights are manufactured to the highest marine specifications using the most advanced materials. All OceanLED Pro-Series lights have received Lloyds Type
Approval, RINA and ABS Certification, and meet U.S. Coast Guard Ignition Protection and ABYC H-27
Side Load Test standards and are all CE compliant.

With spring commissioning on the minds of many boat owners, OceanLED® is now offering a brilliant deal that is
too good to pass up. When customers buy any four OceanLED 3010 Pro Series™ Lights from an authorized dealer, either Flush Mount or Thru Hull, of any color and any lens option, OceanLED will pay the freight for haulout or haul-in costs anywhere in the U.S. up to $1,000 per boat.

This incredible offer is available to the first 250 participants and is the perfect way for boat owners to improve the beauty and value of their boat with OceanLED’s exceptional lighting solutions. And in conjunction with Interlux, savvy boat owners can take advantage of this valuable promotion by getting their vessel bottom painted or make other key improvements at the same time.

This program is also the kick-off for a nationwide competition for participating boat yards and dealers — at the end of the initial promotion running April 1 through June 30, 2009, OceanLED will announce the winners of the OceanLED Preferred Dealer/Boatyard Program. The winners will be selected from dealers and boat yards that participate in the Haul-In/Out promotion and will be based on several criteria to be announced, as well as on
volume of sales. These Preferred Dealers will be eligible for special product considerations and other benefits, including the option of offering the rebate for haul-outs for the rest of the year.

OceanLED already has a history of setting a shining example in the industry. The OceanLED 3010 Pro Series led the market back in 2006 as a revolutionary new option for a 1” Thru Hull — perfect for yachts that needed lighting solutions, but couldn’t accommodate a 4” hole or have access for requisite bulb changes for traditional lights. Since then, boat owners have been lighting up the docks and the water with the company’s sizzling blue, white or green LED lights. They not only attract fish and admiring looks from fellow boaters, these versatile lights are perfect for vessels from 25-500’, and provide considerably more light than a comparable halogen, Xenon and HID
bulbs, while drawing just a fraction of the power.

The OceanLED 3010 Pro Series lights are available with two lens options (50 degree and a 180 degree flood) they
are treated with an ultra-tough Tritonium lens coating and can even come with a delrin isolating sleeve for use on metal hulls. Plus, all OceanLED Pro-Series lights are Lloyds, RINA, ABS approved, Ignition Protected, and ABYC H-27 side load compliant.

Those interested in taking advantage of the most technologically advanced lighting systems in the industry and
this attractive offer can simply purchase the lights, and then download and fill out a simple form from
www.oceanled.com, and send their haul-out/in bill to OceanLED to receive their rebate. Interested boat
yards/dealers can download a form for eligibility on the company’s site, as well.

The marine illumination specialists at OceanLED® are once again lighting and leading the way with their versatile
new Amphibian™ A12 Pro LED underwater lighting system. This newest generation of the companyʼs popular
Amphibian range — the only marine lights specifically developed to provide boaters with brilliant light both above and below the water — is a whopping 75 percent brighter than OceanLEDʼs original brilliant Amphibian A12.

OceanLEDʼs versatile new Amphibian A12 Pros can be operated out of the water for short periods of time for use
when underway due to the inbuilt Thermal Protection of the light. Now boaters looking for an incredible amount of illumination will find that this compact, easy-to-install new package can outshine any comparable LED or xenon underwater light on the market. The OceanLED Amphibian A12 Pro features twelve boldly bright LED lights arranged in a unique linear configuration in an attractive new gunmetal insert, with all the electronics built right into the unit, so thereʼs no need for an external LED driver.

The size and shape of the OceanLED Amphibian A12 Pro, and the fact it requires only a 3/8” hole for cable entry into the boat, mean this adaptable lighting system can be mounted seamlessly. Now boats of all sizes can benefit from OceanLEDʼs renowned bright, colorful underwater lighting by surface mounting these lights on virtually any transom. And since this new lighting system uses the latest in LED technology, boaters get the advantage of a mere 1.8 amp draw when the lights are powered on 12vDC and only 0.9 amp draw on 24vDC. (Comparable xenon bulbs would require more than an 8 amps of current draw each.)

Renowned for being a “shining light” of industry innovation, itʼs no surprise that OceanLED was recently
granted the US patent for the underwater LED technology behind the original Amphibian range. With this
patent, OceanLED owns the rights of using optical collimators with LEDs for underwater lighting, ensuring no
other lighting system can compare in performance. A collimator placed over an LED uses total internal reflection
to intensify the light leaving the fixture by over 500% (similar to the function of a lens in a lighthouse).
To ensure reliable performance in the harsh marine environment, OceanLED injection molds the LED lights into a
state-of-the-art polymer that is completely corrosion proof and resistant to most known solvents and adhesives.

OceanLED also uses specially developed Tritonium glass lenses that inhibit barnacle build up and prevent the
polymer light lens from scratching — a common pitfall with other plastic underwater lights. Because of this
construction and commitment to quality, OceanLED Amphibian lights are virtually maintenance free.

OceanLED offers the Amphibian A12 Pro in three super bright colors — blue, white and green — providing the
perfect option for every boating activity. Whether entertaining at the marina, enjoying a sunset swim at anchor or sport fishing miles offshore, this innovative system lets boaters pierce the darkness with the brilliant, true color of their choice.

OceanLED®, the industry leader with a full line of versatile underwater and above-water LED lighting, is pleased to
announce its association with Capt. Jose Wejebe, noted Key West fishing guide and host of one of televisionʼs
most successful fishing programs, The Spanish Fly.

OceanLED has installed a full array of its renowned Amphibian™ lights on Wejebeʼs 34ʼ SeaVee center console
boat, including two A12 lights in blue aiming down, two A12 lights in white aimed back from the transom, and two
A3 Amphibian lights in white installed as spreader lights to provide brilliant light on deck.

Ease of installation was an important consideration for Wejebe, who appreciated the small 3/8” hole for cable entry — not to mention the
fact that Amphibian lights are virtually maintenance free with LED life of over 50,000 hours.

“The OceanLED lights provide a fantastic alternative to my old halogen lights,” says Wejebe. “I was actually concerned about the heat those old-style lights generated — not to mention generating enough power to keep them lit. I can run the OceanLED lights with just a fraction of the power, no heat buildup — and get brighter lighting than Iʼve ever had before.”

Wejebe, who does a lot of night fishing, diving and filming, uses some of the lights to attract baitfish — and other combinations to attract bigger fish like tarpon and swordfish — as well as to provide attractive night lighting while the boat is in its slip. The lights will play a prominent role in the filming of an upcoming episode on nighttime
swordfishing later this summer.

“The fact that a fishing pro like Jose recognizes the value and benefit of our lights is especially gratifying to us and a true affirmation of how serious enthusiasts are embracing our brand,” says Lee Savage, President of
OceanLED. “Weʼre looking forward to working with him on a slew of exciting industry projects in the months
ahead.”

OceanLED is the leading manufacturer and designer of underwater lighting products and the unique Amphibian range launches the world’s first lighting collection designed to be used both in and out of the water.

Each facility is preparing to host the best boats and crews on the big game tournament fishing circuit later this month for what is setting up to be another stellar event. If catch reports from the past few weeks are any indication, participants could be in for a wild week of fishing along the canyons of the mid-Atlantic coast. Pelagic species are on the prowl along the edge and several warm-water eddies have attracted baitfish which the marlin, tuna, dolphin and wahoo feed on.

The Mid-Atlantic $500,000 kicks off on Sunday, August 17 with last minute registration, calcutta entries and a welcoming cocktail party taking place from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. followed by a brief captain’s meeting at 4:30 p.m. under the tournament tent at each marinas. Boats may fish out of Cape May or Ocean City, Maryland but all participants must declare when registering which inlet they will sail from during the duration of the tournament. Fishing begins on Monday, August 18 and ends on Friday, August 22 and the tournament’s captain’s choice format allows boats to select three of those five days to fish. All boats must fish within 125 miles of the Cape May Sea Buoy regardless of which inlet they choose to sail from and participants may not pass their respective inlet’s sea buoy prior to 4:30 a.m. on each fishing day. Lines cannot be placed in the water before 8:30 a.m. and fishing ends at 3:30 p.m. in this trolling only event. Canyon Club Resort Marina and Sunset Marina will each provide full weigh-in for all species and scales open at 5 p.m. and close at 9 p.m. each evening. Please note the Mid-Atlantic $500,000 is a private event and is not open to the general public. Tournament credentials are required for access to any tournament-related facilities, activities and social events.

A minimum cash payout of tournament proceeds of $500,000 is insured with a field of at least 125 boats and calcutta pools could push the total payout to close to $2 million! While some tournaments offer a large payout that’s weighted for a single fish or species, Mid-Atlantic $500,000 offers a unique prize structure that awards substantial payouts for the three heaviest white marlin, blue marlin and tuna while dolphin and wahoo also are
-2-

worth a substantial cash prize as well. The three heaviest white marlin and blue marlin earn $100,000, $50,000 and $25,000 respectively while the top three tuna are worth $75,000, $35,000 and $20,000. The heaviest dolphin and wahoo are each worth $10,000. Minimum weights for each species to win cash include 60 pounds for white marlin and 400 pounds for blue marlin. The minimum weight for a tuna to qualify for cash is 50 pounds and only big eye, yellowfin and true albacore are eligible. There is no minimum weight for dolphin or wahoo. Billfish released under the minimum weight and tuna weighed over the minimum weight earn points and the top three point winners in each category will receive valuable tournament awards.

The tournament also benefits the International Game Fish Association and the Recreational Fishing Alliance and numerous fund raising activities will take place during tournament week. Most notably is the Mega-Marlin Raffle where valuable prizes including marine artwork, fishing tackle, boating supplies, jewelry, fishing trips and giftware are awarded to lucky winners.

Ocean LED, the leading manufacturer and designer of LED underwater lighting products, is launching into Australia and has appointed its Australian distributor.
The worldwide underwater lighting specialist has selected Yacht Products Australia to provide full sales, service and technical advice to Australian customers.
The Amphibian range, which is the world’s first collection of underwater lighting designed to be used both in and out of the water, will be launching in Australia with a variety of lights to suit boats, yachts and superyachts of all sizes.
LED Founder and CEO Lee Savage, said, “The lights are injection moulded in a state-of-the art high tech polymer, we call Delnaeco, that is resistant to almost all know solvents and adhesives, and is completely corrosion proof. They are easy to install and can be used on a variety of surfaces such as trim tabs, engine brackets or even on boat trailers for night launching.”
After having great success in the USA, OceanLED’s new generation Amphibian range is one of the world’s leading underwater lighting systems and is now being used as standard by many major boat and yacht builders.
The injection-moulded Amphibian Range has been designed with a unique linear shape, versatile enough to be mounted onto any transom and requiring just a quarter of an inch hole for the cable entry. Using the very latest LED technology, the Amphibians have an ultra low power draw, 40,000-hour LED life and pure unfiltered colours. In addition, extensive OceanLED research has enabled all electronics to be built directly into the Amphibian light range, therefore alleviating the need for an external LED driver

OceanLED, the leading manufacturer and designer of LED underwater lighting products, has revealed an exciting new development set to revolutionise the future of underwater lights and fittings. After a year of intensive development, the company has announced that it will be implementing a unique Polymer, named Delnaeco for its LED housing units to replace the Aluminium Bronze currently used.

Aluminium Bronze has always been used by OceanLED for its housing units. Although an expensive choice, it’s one of the most robust metals when used underwater, and is renowned for having a great resilience to salt water corrosion as well as having thermal characteristics to help keep the light and LEDs cool.

For the past year, OceanLED has been working with a Swiss based, advanced Polymer specialist, to develop Delnaeco. Plastic has always been deemed as the ultimate material to use for an underwater light, but problems such as durability, flammability, scratch resistance, chemical resistance, thermal conductivity and optical clarity have prevented it from being suitable. The Delnaeco Polymer is 1.5 times stronger than Polycarbonate, V0 rated for flammability, almost 100% optically perfect, resistant to all known solvents and adhesives and most importantly thermally conductive.

OceanLED has used Delnaeco Polymer on its new Amphibian lighting range. Delnaeco’s unrivalled thermal conductivity has enabled the Amphibian product line to become the world’s first lighting collection designed to be used in and out of the water.

The Amphibian uses OceanLED’s Tritonium glass lenses, specifically designed to inhibit barnacle build up and ensure that the polymer light lens cannot be scratched like other polycarbonate underwater lights. The combination of Delnaeco Polymer and Tritonium lenses ensure the Amphibian can be used on a variety of surfaces such as trim tabs, engine brackets or even on boat trailers for night launching, and will lead the way for the future of OceanLED’s lighting applications.

In addition to Delnaeco’s technical qualities, the new polymer will also help OceanLED to reduce its carbon footprint, by enabling savings to be made in raw materials and weight transportation costs. These savings will be directly passed on to the consumer.

Nigel Savage, Founder and Managing Director at OceanLED says, “We still use the highest quality LEDs specifically selected for colour correctness, high light output intensity and low current consumption to ensure longevity. Our lights still have thermal cutout should they get so hot that they could damage the LED, they still have reverse polarity protection for peace of mind when fitting and they now have no external electronics. In essence we have created a light that will never need replacing”.

The custom creation, a 40 Outlaw dubbed Split Decision, was powered by twin Mercury Racing HP700SCi engines and featured a stellar one-of-a-kind paint job from Kustom Kolors. The V-bottom, which will tour the country this year behind a custom Chevrolet Kodiak truck painted to match the boat, was loaded with blue and red LED lighting from the gauges to the engine compartment.

Some of the boat’s custom touches included underwater lighting from Ocean LED, a complete sound system from JL Audio and Clarion, McLeod IV bolsters and tons of billet hardware. Even the graphics were carried over onto the dash, into the cabin and on the faces for the gauges.

“We can’t wait to see Split Decision get out on the water and hear reactions from the community of Baja owners,” said Barbara Grobicki, Baja’s director of marketing.

Baja also debuted its Hammer-X, a 22-foot sport boat with roadster-like styling. The boat featured specially crafted rear vents, a low-profile stance, seating for six in the cockpit and a cozy cabin with a V-berth.

18 2010 Thru Hulls were used to illuminate the Viking Yachts walkway which created a very elegant entrance to what was one of the best displays at the show this year.

"It felt as if you were walking on water somehow,said Director of Operations Alex Bader,"to have lights on a boat is one thing, but to have them stretch out along a 60 foot walkway was quite a visual treat."

OceanLED will be lighting the docks next at the Dubai Boat Show later this month.

The Amphibian 3 (A3) is a small (3½” x 1½”), powerful economical underwater light; specifically designed for pleasure craft up to 23 feet and is set to be the next “must have” accessory for all boating enthusiasts.

OceanLED created this new range based on the increasing demand for underwater lighting on smaller boats; subsequently providing consumers with a high quality, low priced underwater lighting solution without sacrificing quality. The old adage ‘the bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price’ has been a constant driving force for this entry level light as more products from the Far East enter the market.

The injection moulded Amphibian Range has been designed with a unique linear shape, versatile enough to be mounted onto any transom and requiring just a quarter of an inch hole for the cable entry. The Amphibians are exceptionally easy to install and can be used on a variety of surfaces such as trim tabs, engine brackets or even on boat trailers for night launching.

Despite its small size, the A3 is extremely powerful. Using only 3w in power it provides the equivalent light output of a halogen underwater light. Using the very latest LED technology, the Amphibians have an ultra low power draw, 40,000 hour LED life and pure unfiltered colours. In addition, extensive OceanLED research has enabled all electronics to be built directly into the Amphibian light range, therefore alleviating the need for an external LED driver.

Once fitted, the Amphibians are virtually maintenance free. These lights are injection moulded in a state-of-the art high tech polymer that is resistant to almost all know solvents, adhesives and is completely corrosion proof. In addition, OceanLED is renowned for using Tritonium glass. These unique glass lenses have been specifically designed by OceanLED and Tritonium Optical Technologies (a research laboratory specialising in optical systems) to inhibit barnacle build up and ensure that the polymer light lens cannot be scratched like other polycarbonate underwater lights.

The A3 retails at $299 and is available with super white, super blue and super green LEDs.

Check back here on the OceanLED website for further details and release dates of the Amphibian 6 (A6) and the Amphibian 12 (A12).

Marshall Solomon, Marsh Marine, SC
The bottom line reason we have a boat is to have fun, so this month I want to review a product that literally radiates fun.
Most of the time my job is solving some problem with fuel or AC cooling, but now and then I do get to do something different. Recently, Marsh Marine was asked to install underwater lights on a SeaRay Sundancer transom. My customer’s criteria were quality and performance. As I set about doing my product research, it came as a bit of a surprise to me to discover there were a number of varieties of underwater lights, each with different properties. Having waded through the process of selecting the right product for my client, I thought an article about underwater lights might be a beneficial time saver to readers.
Before you dismiss the idea of underwater lighting as a frivolity, do yourself a favor and read on. My first inclination about underwater lights was that they were merely a novelty too, but by the time I’d completed the installation and witnessed these lights in action, I became a pleased supporter whose opinion had changed 180 degrees. Of all the devices I’ve installed on boats over my 40 plus years in the marine business, nothing has given me such pleasure and pure fun than seeing these lights do their thing at night.
Before I get too far ahead of my story, let’s begin by sorting out how underwater lights are used and the types available. As you might first conclude, these lights add effect to the water surrounding a boat, much like a pool light adds ambiance to your yard. For those of you who need more practical benefits, they make a most dramatic way to locate a vessel in trouble from aloft. For you fishing guys, they attract bait fish like you would not believe! Fish are drawn to the light like steel to a magnet. At anchor with these lights on, it is both entertaining and awesome to view the scene in what amounts to a private aquarium right off your stern. Sit back with a cool one and soak up what boating is supposed to be all about...fun!
There are basically four types of underwater lights: Halogen, Xenon, HID, and LED. Halogen is the least bright, Xenon is the next step up and HID bulbs are the brightest of the three, all have been around for at least 50 years and suffer from major faults. They use too much electricity (amps) and produce significant heat and therefore pose potential hazards. In the case of Xenon and HID bulbs, they will lose, on average, 50% of their light output by the time they have reached half of their life. Just for life expectancy alone, compare: Halogen lights have a life of approximately 500 to 1,000 hours; Xenon has some 1,000 to 3,000 hours; and HIDs have about 3,000 to 5,000 hours if you use them in optimal conditions, which we all know you don’t have on a boat! LEDs are the light bulb of the future, here today. Take a look at car tail lights and most traffic signals. All are moving to LEDs. The new Audi A8 will be the first road car to have LEDs as headlights this year and Volkswagen, Porsche and Lamborghini are to follow suit! It would seem the move in technology will be similar to the television revolution from tube to LCD and plasma. The far and away leader in marine underwater lighting is OceanLED, an international company with its U.S. distribution center located in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. OceanLED lights will last 40,000 to 60,000 hours! Heck, you could run the things constantly, 24/7, for more time than most people will own their boat! Additionally, these LED lights will shine fully bright throughout their entire lifespan. Cutting right to the bottom line, LED lights use the least amount of electricity, produce the greatest amount of light output, run far cooler and last tremendously longer than any other underwater light. OceanLED meets all of these criteria while also offering a variety of colors, mounting options, and materials.
Depending on the vessel’s size and the light model, these lights can be mounted anywhere beneath the waterline from 6 inches to 600 feet if needed!! Spacing between lights is a matter of preference and budget! Larger yachts often have them every few feet completely around the vessel. Smaller to mid-sized boats generally have two or better still, three or four of them across the stern. OceanLED offers colors of white, blue, and green. In clear waters like those of Florida or the Keys, white is best with blue a good second choice. For more opaque waters like those of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, blue followed by green works best. In areas such as the Great Lakes the best color seems to be green as the color doesn’t get washed out by the murky water. However it’s all down to personal preference and OceanLED has lots of pictures and some very exciting videos of the lights in action on their website, www.oceanled.com.
The quality of OceanLED’s products is impeccable and installing these lights is relatively easy. OceanLED offers several light sizes, mounting options, and materials. I prefer their Thru-Hull models which are made of heavy bronze and require only a small one inch hole. Electrical connections are made using supplied waterproof, snap together plugs which integrate into a transformer which OceanLED calls a Driver. This unit is in turn connected to a fused, switched power supply generally located on the dash panel. These Drivers are available in 12 & 24 volt DC or 110 volt AC. Since they are kept cool by the surrounding water, all their lights have a built in automatic overheat cutoff which protects the light should any condition occur which might cause them to overheat. This clever safety simply shuts off the light until the proper temperature is restored which makes them the ONLY lights on the market you can safely leave on when the boat is running. The picture above shows the OceanLED Rooster Flame that you get and the videos on their website showing the boats running really are amazing. OceanLED even provides a removable plastic cover over the light lens to make bottom painting a snap. The actual lens has a special optical coating which OceanLED calls Tritonium. This space age material provides fantastic light dispersal and sea growth resistance which literally outshines all competition. All OceanLED lights carry a two year warranty.

The real thrill, as I’ve said, is running with these lights illuminating the wake behind the boat! The OceanLED Rooster Flame will stretch out behind the moving boat as if you are trailing the blast of some Atlas rocket. It is truly a rush to see. If you want to add something fresh and exciting to your “ho hum” boating experience, check out OceanLED’s underwater lights. You will not be disappointed, I promise you.

OceanLED initially tried four connector productss between the LED light to the driver box, but after several tests, these failed to provide adequate sealing. It wasn’t until OceanLED started to fit the Quick Connect connectors from Deutsch’s waterproof range that they found the perfect seal.

Andy Jefkins, Leisure Marine Specialist at Deutsch UK recalls, “From the moment OceanLED first approached us with their LED underwater lighting, we were confident we could resolve all their connection issues. Working closely with their design team, we quickly established that the Quick Connect would suit their needs best and I’m happy to say it has proved to be extremely successful for them.”

All Deutsch waterproof connectors are constructed from Ultem, a special thermoplastic, high temperature and corrosion resistant, composite material and rated up to IP68 for water immersion. Suitable for both power and data the ranges are rated up to UL94 Class V-O flammability, and are also E11 American Yacht and Boat Council and RoHS compliant.

(22 October 2007)

Mitchell and his teammates – Richard Ebersold, Richard Stockwell, Sean Cassidy and Dan Baummier, all of Port St. Lucie, Fla. – are now headed to the $275,000 FLW Kingfish Series Championship and $500,000 Wal-Mart FLW Kingfish Tour Championship, where the nation’s best kingfish teams will compete for top awards of $70,000 and $150,000, respectively.

Team Bandit captured the Team of the Year title with 426 out of a possible 500 points thanks to a 13th-place finish at the season opener in Fort Pierce, Fla., a sixth-place finish at stop No. 2, also in Fort Pierce, and an eighth-place showing at the third and final stop of the year in Brunswick.

“It’s really awesome to win this,” Mitchell said. “In the past, I have fished a lot of SKA (Southern Kingfish Association) events and been highly ranked in them, but I was truly impressed with the way FLW hosts events.

“Our plans for next year are to get even more involved with FLW. We are going to fish the East Florida Division of the series again as well as all the stops on the Kingfish Tour. We have never won a regular-season event, but we would really like to win one of these championships. It’s more important to me to win a championship than a regular season event. We are going to show up with guns blazing at both of them and hope for the best.”

Mitchell’s team will face the top three teams from each of the 15 FLW Kingfish Series tournaments held in 2007 plus the top 16 teams from each division in the points standings from each of the five FLW Kingfish Series divisions during the three-day, no-entry-fee FLW Kingfish Series Championship in Orange Beach, Ala., Oct. 4-6. From there, Team Bandit will advance to the three-day, no-entry-fee FLW Kingfish Tour Championship presented by BP in Biloxi, Miss., Nov. 2-4, where they will compete against the points champions from each of five FLW Kingfish Series divisions and the top 50 teams in the FLW Kingfish Tour points standings.

Both championships will be featured in one-hour episodes of “FLW Outdoors” broadcast to 80 million FSN (Fox Sports Net) households in the United States and more than 429 million households in such countries as Germany, China, South Africa, Australia, Malaysia, Russia, Hungary and the United Kingdom. This reach makes “FLW Outdoors” the most widely distributed fishing program in the world.

The stunning new Azimut 103s, due to set sail to the Maldives has been fitted with 16 OceanLED Flush Mount underwater lights by ART Marine in Dubai.

The new Azimut has an array of lights around the transom and up the sides but the real unique aspect to the installation is the positioning of the underwater lights on port and starboard under the master cabin windows. Looking out at night on to a sea illuminated by LED underwater lights is a sight to behold.

Pictures coming soon!!

All OceanLED lights have passed the ABYC H-27 test proceedures (Side loading).

The requirements for this effort are to perform a mechanical strength test of the light assemblies per ABYC H-27 to determine if the assembly will withstand a 500- pound static force applied for 30 seconds to the inboard end of its connection fitting without failure of the fitting assembly. The load is to be applied in the most vunerable direction.

The thru-hull light assemblies were mounted on a 3/4" thick simulated boat hull section with the supplied mounting hardware to hold the assemblies in place. A load of 500 lbs. was applied to the inboard end with each assembly mounted securely on the simulated hull section.

All models submitted passed.

Yet another approval signifying the quality and durability of the most advanced underwater lighting available today.

PRESS RELEASE
OceanLED are awarded USCG Ignition Protection

Underwater lighting leaders OceanLED have been awarded USCG Ignition Protection on their complete range of standard underwater lights.

Having recently obtained RINA and ABS approvals, this now places OceanLED as one of the most approved marine lighting manufacturers in the industry. This certification allows OEM's complete piece of mind when installing lights in areas such as engines rooms and around fuel tanks. As the lights are a solid piece construction (i.e. no removable parts) the lights excelled in all tests and one striking detail highlighted was the low heat output from the light fitting compared to traditional bulb styled underwater lights.

Nigel Savage, founder and Managing Director says he always knew the lights were the safest available and its good to have an NMMA approval to back it up.

The procedures used to accomplish the Ignition Protection tests are ISO 8846, SAE J1171 and the USCG recommended procedures entitled "USCG Electrical System Standard Test Procedure".These procedures are acceptable to the European Community and the United States Coast Guard respectively for establishing conformance to the ignition protection requirements.

Deck Marine diventa il distributore OceanLED per l'Italia


07-02-07

Deck Marine è lieta di annunciare di aver raggiunto un accordo per la distribuzione dei prodotti OceanLed in Italia.
OceanLED è stata fondata nel Dicembre 2004 da Nigel e Lee Savage per progettare e sviluppare luci a LED per la nautica, in particolare luci subacquee per illuminare lo specchio d’acqua intorno alla barca. La società ha un team altamente qualificato per sfruttare al meglio la tecnologia LED e l’elettronica per gestirla.


Perché i LED ?
“Gli esperti pensano che i LED siano destinati a diventare a breve la principale sorgente luminosa per quasi tutta l’illuminazione. Le lampadine ad incandescenza hanno i giorni contati. Finiranno in un museo, come le valvole usate un tempo nell’elettronica, nelle radio e nelle televisioni”
“Quando i LED furono inventati, circa 40 anni fa, trovarono applicazione in prodotti di nicchia e poi, con l’aumento della luminosità, vennero utilizzati per display, cartelli luminosi ed indicatori per il traffico. Attualmente le luci a LED vengono utilizzate anche per uso residenziale e sono sempre più diffuse grazie ai numerosi vantaggi offerti rispetto alle lampadine tradizionali. Prima di tutto durano molto di più: parliamo di una decina di anni contro alcuni mesi. Poi occupano meno spazio (tipicamente un LED ha la dimensione della gomma di una matita), sono resistenti agli shock e, forse più importante di tutto, sono estremamente efficienti dal punto di viste energetico.” Estratto da The Economist Newspaper.

Risparmio energetico
La vita di una lampadina ad incandescenza è estremamente più breve di un LED (i LED utilizzati da OceanLed mantengono la stessa luminosità per oltre 40.000 ore, quindi, se fossero utilizzati tutte le notti per otto ore, durerebbero oltre 13 anni). Non sottovalutate quindi i costi di manutenzione di una lampadina tradizionale. Grazie alla maggiore efficienza luminosa con un nostro LED si riduce del 300% il consumo di corrente rispetto ad esempio ad una lampadina alogena.

Sicurezza
Non necessitando di manutenzione, le nostre luci a LED sono completamente sigillate e totalmente stagne, incluse le parti elettroniche e i connettori.


I LED sono una tecnologia testata ?
OceanLed ha installato negli ultimi due anni oltre 4000 luci a LED sui più prestigiosi yacht esistenti al mondo.

Più in generale negli Stati Uniti oltre 1 milione di semafori sono stati trasformati dalla tecnologia tradizionale ai LED con un risparmio energetico e di manutenzione. Solo a New York la bolletta per i semafori (20M$) si è immediatamente ridotta del 90% !!

Lexus e Audi stanno introducendo su alcuni modelli 2007 le luci a LED.

Come si possono confrontare le luci OceanLed con altre luci subacquee.
Dobbiamo tener conto di quattro principali parametri: la luminosità reale, l’ottica, la temperatura del colore e la durata.

La luminosità reale
Molte società che producono luci subacquee misurano la luminosità in Lumens, nonostante il Lumens misuri la luminosità alla fonte e può perdere anche il 60% attraversando le lenti che compongono la luce stessa. OceanLed fa riferimento ai Lux, che misurano la luminosità su una data superficie ad una distanza prefissata dalla fonte luminosa, valutando così la luminosità reale.
Misurando quindi l’efficienza delle luci in lux/watt, le luci OceanLed sono molto più efficienti della concorrenza e, a parità di Lux, utilizzano molto meno energia.

L’ottica
Le luci OceanLed catturano la luce emessa dai LED e, tramite prismi ottici, amplificano la luce e focalizzano il fascio luminoso (un po’ come funziona nei fari dove una lampadina di soli 150W può essere vista a 20 miglia di distanza). Viceversa in una lampada tradizionale la luce si disperde a 360° per poi essere catturata da un riflettore per poi rifrangersi attraverso una lente, con perdite che possono arrivare fino al 60%.

La temperatura del colore
La temperatura del colore è misurata in Gradi Kelvin. Più alta è la temperatura, più bianca è la luce. In una giornata estiva di sole a mezzogiorno con il cielo terso si hanno circa 12.000 gradi Kelvin. Tutte le luci OceanLED, dalla più piccola alla più potente, raggiungono i 10.000 gradi Kelvin. I migliori prodotti concorrenti sul mercato non superano i 7000 gradi Kelvin. Più la luce è bianca, migliore è l’effetto nell’acqua.

Durata
Le lampade tradizionali hanno un forte decadimento già dopo un migliaio di ore di utilizzo. Le luci OceanLED hanno una vita praticamente infinita (>40.000 ore) e non risentono del numero di accensioni/spegnimenti a cui vengono sottoposte, a differenza delle luci alogene la cui durata diminuisce sensibilmente se vengono utilizzate “ad intermittenza”.


Le luci OceanLED si scaldano molto ?
I LED utilizzati nelle luci OceanLED lavorano massimo al 50% della temperatura raccomandata, anche per garantirne la longevità.
Nelle luci del tipo Flush Mount, la parte interna allo scafo, se ben ventilata, raggiunge una temperatura tra i 30° e i 42°. Nelle versioni Thru Hull e Surface Mount, il corpo della luce è 3-4° più caldo dell’acqua in cui è immerso, e il calore non viene trasmesso all’interno dello scafo.
Esiste comunque una protezione contro le sovra-temperature come estrema precauzione di sicurezza.


Le luci OceanLed sono approvate ?
Le luci OceanLED hanno superato i severissimi test sia dei Lloyds che del Rina.


Che tipo di connettori utilizza OceanLED ?
Tutte le luci Ocean LED utilizzano connettori Plug&Play prodotti dalla rinomata Deutsch. Questi connettori sono stagni IP68 e soddisfano gli standard di riferimento.


Che tipo di lenti utilizza OceanLED ?
Per le lenti delle proprie luci OceanLED si appoggia a Tritonium Optical Technologies, un laboratorio di ricerca inglese specializzato nelle forniture militari ed aeronautiche.
Tre sono i problemi principali delle lenti per luci subacquee: la chiarezza, la robustezza e la contaminazione da parte degli organismi marini.

Chiarezza
Le lenti utilizzate da OcenLED sono praticamente otticamente perfette e trasmettono il 30% di luce in più rispetto ad una lente tradizionale.

Robustezza
Poiché le luci OceanLED non scaldano molto, non è necessario analizzare nel dettaglio la resistenza al calore. Mentre i test effettuati dai Lloyds e dal Rina dimostrano la robustezza di queste lenti all’impatto.

Contaminazione organismi marini
Come evitare che gli organismi marini si aggrappino alla lente ? Come evitare che per togliere le alghe o i denti di cane si debba raschiare anche la lente ? Le lenti utilizzate da OceanLED sono trattate con una resina anti-fungo che forma uno strato chimico in grado di ridurre drasticamente la formazione di alghe o denti di cane e comunque ne garantisce la facile rimozione senza utilizzo di prodotti graffianti.
Alcune luci subacquee per evitare la formazione dei denti di cane puntano sulla elevata temperatura della lente che uccide la vegetazione attaccata sulla superficie. Ma, non utilizzando la luce per un certo periodo, questo sistema perde di efficacia, viceversa accendendo le luci regolarmente, ne riduco drasticamente la vita utile.
Le luci OceanLED sono dotate di un disco di protezione da rimuovere dopo aver dato l’antivegetativa alla scafo.


Accendere e spegnere le luci OceanLED ne riduce la durata ?
E’possibile spegnere e riaccendere le luci migliaia di volte senza alcun effetto sui LED. Inoltre le luci OceanLED non hanno tempo di riscaldamento né picchi di potenza richiesti al momento dell’accensione, al contrario delle luci HID (High Intensity Discharge, luci ad alta intensità di scarica) che impiegano almeno 2 minuti per raggiungere la massima luminosità e, se spente, necessitano di 20 minuti per raffreddarsi e riavviarsi. Questa caratteristica costituisce un grande vantaggio quando il sistema di illuminazione viene integrato con un sistema di sicurezza di bordo.


A che voltaggio funzionano le luci OceanLED ?
Le luci standard funzionano in corrente continua a 12 o a 24 V. Sono oggi disponibili anche i driver funzionanti in corrente alternata a 110/220V da utilizzare con generatori di corrente montati a bordo. Inoltre è possibile montare il nuovo SuperYacht Cabinet che permette di raggruppare tutti i collegamenti elettrici in un’unica area dell’imbarcazione, da dove poi partono i cablaggi per tutte le luci. In questo modo si velocizza l’installazione e si semplifica l’ispezione periodica.


Quante luci sono necessarie?
La scelta del numero e della posizione delle luci dipende dalla dimensione della barca e dall’effetto desiderato. Le serie 1520 e 2010 sono le più utilizzate per il rapporto prezzo/potenza. Per maggiori dettagli è consigliabile contattare un rivenditore OceanLED.


Qual’è il colore migliore?
La luce blu ha una lunghezza d’onda minore rispetto alla luce bianca, e può quindi penetrare maggiormente attraverso l’acqua. Per questo le nostre luci Super Blue LEDs si vendono più delle luci Super White.
Il bianco delle luci OceanLed è più bianco di qualsiasi altra luce disponibile sul mercato, che appare al confronto di un colore giallastro.


Qual’è la misura/serie migliore per la mia barca?
Per le barche grandi servono luci grandi, per le piccole le luci grandi sono superflue. Sarà a breve disponibile una tabella per aiutare il cliente nella scelta delle luci; alcune semplici indicazioni:
- X-520 per barche piccole, fino a 9mt;
- Serie 1520 per barche fino a 13mt senza plancetta;
- Serie 2010 per barche fino a 21 mt;
- Serie 3010 per barche oltre i 21 mt;
- Serie 4010 per chi desidera la luce più brillante disponibile sul mercato.


Quali tipi di lenti sono disponibili?
Tutte le sono fornite con una lente standard che genera un fascio di circa 50°di ampiezza. Sono comunque disponibili delle lenti con effetto diffusore che generano un fascio di circa 140° di ampiezza e creano un effetto alone attorno allo scafo della barca.

Per maggiori dettagli è consigliabile rivolgersi a Deck Marine SpA (info@deckmarine.it) oppure ad un rivenditore OceanLED.
