Unless you’re Rose from The Titanic or Actress Natalie Wood, who’s famously aquaphobic, it’s hard to deny the sheer joy boats bring.

They transcend mere transportation, offering an escape from the mundane and a chance to embark on thrilling adventures across the vast ocean space.

Naturally, you want to make the most out of these voyages, and what better way than with a mesmerizing setup of underwater boat lights?

Whether you’re looking for style or functionality, you’ll love the extensive selection of top brands at Apex Lighting including Aqualuma, Lumitec, Bluefin LED, and OceanLED. And while you’re exploring their unique benefits, you’ll also learn:

• How a polymer construction makes the Aqualuma brand truly reliable
• The exciting possibilities of Lumitec’s versatile boat lights
• The ambiance-setting ability of stylish Bluefin LED lights
• How a titanium coating makes OceanLED one of the premium brands for your vessel

1 - The Reliable Aqualuma

With their modern designs and high-quality construction, Aqualuma's underwater LED lights bring a touch of luxury and reliability to any vessel.

Take the Aqualuma 6 Series LED Underwater Light (GEN 4), for instance, with its polymer housing that combines perfectly with elegant 770-lumen fixtures.

This design creates a scenic illumination aboard your vessel, “S.S. AquaHolic,” while ensuring resilience against corrosive saltwater and rust, and discoloring UV radiation.

So, it’s no wonder that Apex Lighting offers a six-year housing warranty for the Aqualuma 6 Series LED Underwater Light (GEN 4) plus a three-year guarantee for the internal components.

But that’s not all. Aqualuma lights are also energy efficient and easy to install.

The Aqualuma 12 Series LED Underwater Light (GEN 4) is an excellent demonstration of these qualities.

It consumes two amperes per light from a 12-volt DC battery to produce 1,525 lumens. This is far less than traditional incandescent lights of the same 1,525-lumen illumination.

The fixture also comes with a straightforward two-wire installation that requires no special tools or electrical experience to set up.

This hassle-free approach ensures your mind and efforts remain solely on enjoying your boating adventure and creating wonderful memories with your loved ones.

So, if you’re looking for reliability, efficiency, and style, you can’t go wrong with Aqualuma, and the best place to find them is right here at Apex Lighting.

Important Note: While Aqualuma lights are known for their resilience against saltwater and UV radiation, it's still critical to conduct regular maintenance to ensure longevity.

You’ll find plenty of models from this impressive brand, including the popular Aqualuma 18 Series LED Underwater Light (GEN 4). These lights feature a dazzling 2,150 lumens with only 2.6 amps per light in consumption from a 12-volt DC battery.

This intense illumination ability is enough to transform any underwater surface into a stunning spectacle of vibrant marine life and a source of exciting memories.

2 - The Versatile Lumitec

Care for an LED-powered nighttime fishing adventure with your favorite vessel, “The Knotorious?”

How about an easy evening hangout in your transom area with a spectacular display of color-changing illumination painting the ocean surface?

This is the kind of versatility Lumitec offers and the reason for its top-brand status for all your boat lighting needs.

You’ll find functionality with powerful underwater lights such as the SeaBlaze Typhoon Thru-Hull Underwater and aesthetics with vibrant ambiance-setting fixtures like the Javelin 600X LED Underwater Light.

Lumitec’s SeaBlaze Typhoon Thru-Hull delivers an impressive 10,000 measured lumen, making it one of the most powerful and functional underwater boat fixtures at Apex Lighting.

This is plenty of illumination to reveal buoys, channel markers, and small vessels, preventing collisions, especially when docking during low-visibility conditions such as rain and fog.

But what's more fascinating about the SeaBlaze Thru-Hull is that for all its brightness, the fixture takes up only 60 watts of energy, which is less than a standard color TV of 150 watts.

This efficiency enables prolonged usage via 10 and 4 Amp-draw (for a 12 and 24-volt battery), without worrying about running out of juice.

The video below highlights the features of the Seablaze Typhoon Thru-Hull Underwater.

For aesthetic lighting, Lumitec delivers with the Javelin 600X LED Underwater Light. It features a vibrant 6,000-lumenfull color-changing bulb that’s perfect for creating an enchanting ambiance around your boat.

However, vibrant color-changing is just half the story. This fixture also delivers excellent color quality with its exceptional Color Rendering Index (CRI) of over 70 out of a maximum of 100.

This is a measure of how accurately and vividly the fixture reproduces color relative to a reference light source, which is critical in creating different color profiles to set the right mood.

For instance, picture your transom area with an enchanting blue glow from the over 70 CRI and 6000-lumen Javelin 600X bathing the surrounding water. It’s a relaxing and inviting atmosphere that makes for an unforgettable boating experience.

The video below highlights more features of the Lumitec Javelin 600X LED Underwater Light.

Explore more of Lumitec’s versatility with the extensive collection at Apex Lighting. You’ll find 12V, 24V, 110V, and 220V models to suit all your marine applications, whether you're sprucing up your cabin and deck or enhancing safety within your entire vessel with sufficient illumination.

Why This Matters: With Lumitec, you get the ability to customize your marine lighting based on your unique requirements, creating a vessel that truly reflects your personality and enhances your marine experience.

3 - The Stylish Bluefin LED

Bluefin LED has established a solid reputation for stylish light designs with full-color choices to help you set the mood for your boat.

Whether you’re looking for a chilled-out blue ambiance or a romantic red atmosphere, trust this brand to deliver with elegant models such as the Piranha P6 LED Color Changing.

2,700 lumens of interchangeable red, green, blue, and white will transform your hull and transom area into a dazzling display of vibrant hues and style. The kind that makes for a memorable night adventure under the star-lit sky.

Here’s a quick video showing the color-changing feature of the BluefinLED Piranha P6 LED Color Changing.

And then there’s the shelf life. An impressive 50,000 hours or more than five years helps you keep the magic alive and your mind away from frequent replacement and maintenance expenses.

“I've had three of these lights on my boat for over two years. I've been very pleased with them and with the service and support I've received from the folks at Bluefin... I recommend Bluefin to anyone looking for underwater lighting for their boat.” — Michael C., Verified Buyer

Beyond style, the Bluefin LED brand is all about safety. It’s a critical aspect considering the proximity of water and electricity, which is why the Piranha P6 LED Color Changing features over-voltage, polarity, and thermal protection.

These features protect you and your guests from the possible hazards of voltage spikes, overheating, and circuit shorts, ensuring your night remains festive and full of pleasant memories.

Meanwhile, the lights also feature a sturdy polymer lens and a Guard X protective coating to prevent marine growth buildup. Both attributes keep the lights in  mint condition allowing safe and reliable operation at all times.

Marine growth on your lights would otherwise weaken the housing and lead to cracks and breaks. This would then provide an opening for destructive elements such as liquids, moisture, and dust.

4 - The Premium OceanLED

As a premium brand, Ocean LED offers some of the best products in marine lighting with plenty of features that transform your vessel into a captivating spectacle.

Take the OceanLED 3010XFM HD GEN2 as an example, 11,000 lumens and wide 60˚ / 20˚ beam angles create an exceptionally bright scene around your vessel. The sort of view that leaves a lasting impression on anyone who gazes.

But there’s more. These lights are encased in a sturdy aluminum bronze AB2 bezel housing, specifically designed to withstand the corrosion and UV radiation of marine environments.

These nifty features make the OceanLED brand among the favorites at Apex Lighting, which is why they offer plenty of models to suit your specific needs. These include the OceanLED E3 & E6 Series Thru-Hull Underwater Light.

The lights feature a unique fish-strobe mode for your nighttime fishing expeditions. In this mode, the lights emit a randomized pulsating light pattern, creating an enticing visual display that attracts nearby fish to your vessel.

Meanwhile, their small current draw of 7.8 A for the E6 and 5.5 A for the E3 means you can keep the strobe running for as long as necessary without worrying about running out of juice. You won’t even have to worry about start-up surges, which is common with larger current draws.

As for their housing, Ocean LED E3 & E6 Series feature an interesting titanium coating that prevents the attachment of marine organisms, such as barnacles, algae, and other forms of biofouling.

This saves you hours of scrubbing each time you use them and keeps your lights in perfect working order for a longer useful life.

“I'm all about them. This one is perfect, brighter than most, and coming in at 4200 lumens the 10,000 lumens is more than double the cost of this one. I highly recommend this model.” — Ctsearay, Verified Buyer
