Low Power Consumption

Low power consumption means longer cruising time on the sea. The latest LED technology can generate around 80-100 lumens per watt, while the traditional incandescent lights generate less than 20 lumens per watt. In fact, EU has banned use of incandescent lights since 2012, and planned to ban the halogen lights due to their low lighting efficiency.

Life & Durability

Typically LED’s has a lifespan for about 20,000 – 50,000 hours, more than 20 times of that of an incandescent light. LED also has no filaments to break, and thus are very vibration proof. Most of YIS Marine lights are built in one part without replaceable lamps, and some outdoor models are fully sealed to ensure great durability against moisture and shocks.

Electronic Circuit Design

Electrical systems on the boats are very complex and sophisticated systems. DC power supply on board can vary from 10 – 15V under different circumstances (for a 12V system). That’s why almost all of our LED lights come with sophisticated DC to DC LED Driver with Constant-Current technology that keeps the LED output stable despite the input voltage variation. As radio communication is crucial on the boats, all of our LED lights also have EMI suppression design and approved by the EU standards CE.

Cost

The cost of LED has been dropping consistently each year. This, combing with its steady growth in lighting efficiency, makes LED lights become more and more suitable to replace traditional incandescent lights used on the boat. YIS Marine re-design LED lights on board by removing or modifying parts that were necessary for halogen lights but no longer needed for LED lights. By designing lights exclusively for the LED technology, we are able to build cost-effective LED lights with much better performance than traditional halogen lights.
