Spotlight for cabinets

What is the advantage of using low-consumption LED spotlights?

LED spotlights consume significantly less energy than traditional bulbs, allowing you to use them longer without draining the battery. This is particularly advantageous on boats, where energy is often a limited resource. In addition, LEDs have a much longer lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

How can I install a cabinet light?

The installation procedure varies depending on the specific model. Some spotlights are fixed with screws, others with adhesive or clips. Always carefully consult the instructions provided by the manufacturer. If the spotlight requires a connection to the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the power before starting and, if in doubt or inexperienced, contact a qualified electrician.

What are the best materials for boat spotlights?

The most common and suitable materials for boat spotlights are ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) and stainless steel. ABS is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and impact-resistant, while stainless steel offers greater robustness, durability, and a more elegant appearance. In particular, AISI 316 stainless steel is highly resistant to marine corrosion.

How to choose the color temperature of LED light?

The color temperature of LED light, measured in Kelvin (K), influences the atmosphere and visual perception. Warm light (2700-3000K) creates a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere, ideal for cabins. Neutral light (3500-4000K) is suitable for activities that require good visibility, such as reading. Cool light (5000-6500K) offers greater brightness and is ideal for work areas or lockers.

Can I use cabinet lights outdoors?

Most cabinet lights are designed for indoor use. If you need to illuminate outdoor spaces, such as the cockpit or swim platform, it is essential to choose spotlights specifically designed to withstand the weather and humidity, with an adequate IP protection rating (e.g., IP65 or higher).
