Boat walkway and courtesy lights

Courtesy lights and step lights aren't just for aesthetics; they significantly enhance onboard safety, especially at night. A well-lit walkway prevents accidental falls and makes nighttime navigation easier.

These are LED lights, meaning low power consumption and long life. The models in this section are all waterproof (IP67 or higher) and resistant to marine corrosion. Choose from various color temperatures (K): warm light (2850K) for a more intimate atmosphere, or cool light (6300K) for greater visibility.

Watt (W) and Lumen (lm): What do they mean?

* **Watt (W):** Indicates the light's energy consumption. The lower the wattage, the less energy the light consumes.
* **Lumen (lm):** Indicates the amount of light emitted. The higher the number of lumens, the brighter the light. Remember that courtesy lights shouldn't be dazzling, so a lower lumen output is preferable.

Nautica Basile's Advice

Before purchasing, verify your boat's supply voltage (12V or 24V). Also, check the dimensions (outer diameter and depth) if you're replacing an existing light. If you have any questions, contact us: we'll help you choose the right model.

What products should I use to clean the hull without damaging the Gelcoat?

To clean the hull, avoid aggressive solvent-based products. Use marine-specific cleaners formulated to remove dirt without damaging the gelcoat. Periodically apply a protective wax to maintain shine and protect the surface from UV rays and salt.

How do I choose the color temperature (K) of courtesy lights?

Color temperature is measured in Kelvin (K). A warm light (2700-3000K) creates a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere, ideal for the cockpit. A cool light (4000-6000K) offers greater visibility, suitable for walkways or the swim platform.

Do LED courtesy lights consume a lot of power?

No, LED courtesy lights consume very little power compared to traditional incandescent or halogen bulbs. This allows you to use them for extended periods without draining the battery.

Can I install courtesy lights myself?

Installation is generally simple, especially for recessed models. However, if you don't have experience with the boat's electrical system, it's advisable to rely on a qualified electrician to avoid problems.
