led skyltar

With all the excitement LEDs have generated within the boating community due to their excellent efficiency and long operating life, many boaters have been quick to jump on the LED trend in order to capitalize in these benefits. There is little doubt that the ability to cut your onboard power use drastically simply by upgrading your lighting systems is an attractive incentive. When we add in that led skyltar can last over 10 times as long as a regular incandescent lamp, the switch seems like a no brainer, and for the most part it is. One caveat, however, is occasionally encountered when boaters attempt to switch their navigation and marker lighting over to LEDs. Although LEDs are certainly quite effective, many boaters fail to take into account some important points when upgrading onboard lighting that is governed by marine regulations.

Perhaps the biggest mistake many boaters make is in trying to retrofit led skyltar to their existing navigation lighting fixtures. Although it is entirely possible to remove the incandescent bulb from a navigation light and replace it with an LED, the design of LEDs and navigation light housings is such that performance can be severely degraded. This is because of the manner in which LEDs radiate light and the design of normal navigation light housings which is not intended to work with the unique characteristics of LEDs. Unlike an incandescent bulb, led skyltar do not radiate light from their surface in a 360 degree pattern, and navigation light housings which rely on this type of full range output are unable to effectively radiate the full output of the LED properly.
