LEDs for Boats, Yachts, and Marine Applications
No comments · Posted by admin in Uncategorized
An interesting article about the increasing trend of in LED lighting on boats, yachts, and other marine vehicles. Many boaters really on batteries to keep the lighting on when moored. LEDs reduce power draw by up to 85%, so its easy to see why it makes sense to replace halogens with LEDs!
[credit Power and MotorYacht magazine]
An experienced boater realizes the benefits of retrofitting his 27-year-old boat with LED lighting.
This spring Will Keene, president of marine equipment manufacturer Edson International (www.edsonmarine.com) in New Bedford, Massachusetts, upgraded the lights on his 1985 Grand Banks 42, and I got to watch the process to replace the interior lights aboard his boat with LEDs, including an upgraded dimmer system in the saloon.
One of the primary reasons for the upgrade is that Keene likes to spend his nights anchored in secluded coves. The LEDs will save Keene battery power because they use only about a quarter of the juice required to power the old incandescent lights. The lights Keene chose use less than 5.0 watts, and have a 50,000-hour lifetime plus a five-year warranty.
In addition to being more efficient, LEDs are safer. To resist water intrusion each light has a sealed housing. Additionally, a quality LED light has a built-in driver with integrated current regulation to assure that each LED is being powered appropriately regardless of input voltage. LEDs need ambient air around the back of the housing to help keep them cool. Also, LEDs take up less space than old-school automotive-style bulbs, so there should be plenty of space in the same framework.
For the swap, Keene selected 15 of the Warm White color and a single Warm Red at the helm station to preserve night vision. 
Total cost for the lights, LED dimmer modules, Vimar switches, frames, and an LED engine-room kit was $3,334.90.
Here’s how Keene’s boat was upgraded. Single two-light fixtures in the forward and aft staterooms and accompanying heads were installed, while four assemblies with dimmers were replaced in the saloon. Because each LED had its own integrated circuit board, a matched dimmer and two additional wires were used between the dimmers and the lights. To comply with American Boat and Yacht Council guidelines, lighting engineer Mike Moriarty made all connections with crimped heat-shrink quick-disconnect terminals from Ancor Marine.
The two-man crew spent about six hours removing the old fixtures and the valances that Grand Banks had installed to hide the original wiring. When I arrived at the boat, there were wires hanging down from all the openings awaiting the upgrade. Keene was fortunate because Grand Banks hid a little extra wire above the headliner and it was found in good shape. Fishing new wires throughout the boat would have made the job much more difficult.
To keep the Grand Banks look, Keene retained the original teak frame surrounding the old lights and covered each plastic lens with birdseye maple veneer, finishing it with a few coats of polyurethane. The lens would have been too difficult to remove so the veneer was applied over it. To help maintain rigidity and keep the lens from shattering or chipping when it was cut for the new lights, Keene applied a teak backing plate bonded with West Systems epoxy.
In the staterooms, the LED upgrade was easy. All that had to be done was connect the two wires on each light to those hanging from the opening. For the dimmer and added red light on the starboard side of the saloon, he had to run three new wires from the switch next to the helm entryway up behind the vertical valance to where the headliner met the inner wall. He used square plastic wiring races to run the new wires. The races were hidden outboard of the boat’s original valances. On the port side, most of the initial labor was dedicated to removing trim panels and valances to run the extra wire needed for the dimmer system.
Dimmer units were secured with screws to the framework above the headliner for the forward lights on each circuit with extra wires run from the dimmer aft to the second set of lights on both sides. Adhesive-backed tiewrap anchors hold the wires in place. With wires and dimmers installed, he used the original fastening hardware for the lenses and snapped them back into place. After checking his wiring, he installed the switches. Now Keene’s boat has a lighting system that can set the proper mood and use significantly

LED at 50: An illuminating history by the light’s inventor
No comments · Posted by admin in Uncategorized
Heres an interesting article on the history of LEDs by the BBC!
The light-emitting diode has brightened our lives for half a century – from lighting up the city streets at night, to decorating Christmas trees each December.
The LED started life in October 1962, as a single red illumination in a General Electric research lab in New York state.
Now – as one of the world’s biggest retailers, Ikea, announces that by 2016 the only lighting products it will sell will be LED-based ones – Prof Nick Holonyak Jr from the University of Illinois, takes a look back at how it all began with his invention of the first practical visible-spectrum light-emitting diode.

An interesting news article on LEDs from September’s issue of LUX magazine:
LEDs are set to overtake compact fluorescent and halogen lamps as the top selling light source by 2018, according to IMS research. IMS believes LED-based lamps and luminaires will command 30% of the market in terms of units, and even more in terms of revenues because of their higher price tags. IMS also expects lighting to overtake TVs as the main application for gallium nitride (GaN) LEDs – the bright blue devices used to produce white light for backlighting screens and general illumination – perhaps as soon as this year.
We are currently ‘between the backlighting boom and the lighting boom’, Jamie Fox, lighting and LEDs manager at IMS, told the EuroLED conference. As the backlighting market becomes saturated, future growth in sales of GaN LEDs ‘really depends on how much lighting takes off’.
Currently the overall LED market is flat, but there could be double-digit growth between 2013 and 2017, Fox said. Lighting is expected to represent a much bigger proportion of LED revenues – approaching half by 2016.
‘People who dont like CFLs will likely find LEDs compelling at 2013-15 pricing levels as incandescents are phased out’ said Fox. ‘Consumers are increasingly aware of LED lamps, but many arent ready to move just yet’.
LEDs currently represent 1% of the lighting market in terms of units sold, but 14% of revenue – so there is significant growth potential.
The market for GaN LEDs will peak in 2015 at more than US$11 billion (7bn GBP), IMS believes, with revenue from lighting making up about US$4.5 billion (2.9bn GBP). LED product prices are expected to fall until 2019/20, then level off.
