What are LED Marine Flood Lights?

Marine grade is not an actual certification. It’s a means by which lighting suppliers specify lights. It’s based on experience in selling lights for maritime applications. At LED Lighting Supply, we understand the importance of marine-grade finishes. And how that’s more important than fixtures that claim to be ‘salt water’ tested. If you are using a fixture in a maritime application, you want a marine-grade finish.

The marine-grade flood lights you find on this page all have corrosion-resistant finishes. Some include stainless steel hardware. All are powerful, high-output industrial fixtures designed to provide long service life that are versatile and built to last a long time.

Our marine-grade fixtures are more robust than a standard LED flood light used in non-marine environments. That means they have special finishes, either powder coats or epoxy finishes. That also means that external hardware is stainless steel. It can withstand the harsh corrosive conditions of salt water and salt water air.

Benefits of Using LED Marine Flood Lights

• high power, efficient, and reliable LED Light source
• designed to withstand the harsh saltwater conditions of near-shore and offshore locations
• minimal maintenance, no bulbs or ballasts to replace
• provides powerful, bright lighting to keep areas safe and well-lit for workers and customers
• excels at providing large-area security lighting

Can You Use LED Marine Flood Lights on Commercial Fishing Vessels

Yes, you can. Our marine grade flood lights are well-suited to LED marine boat flood lights. They can be configured to create a broad beam for deck lighting, or a narrow beam to pierce the weather conditions so the captain can see far ahead. Our lights have been installed as fishing boat flood lights on many commercial fishing vessels.

Are Marine Grade Flood Lights Protected from Salt Spray and Humidity?

Saltwater is hard to protect against. Our lights use special finishes and stainless steel hardware, making the fixture durable in salt spray and humid applications. This makes our LED marine flood lights a good choice for boats, container ports, offshore rigs, and any other location near the coast or on the water.

What Voltages Are Available for LED Marine Grade Flood Lights?

Most of our fixtures use AC power supplies, so they operate from 100 Volts up to 480 Volts. The standard ranges are 100-277V and 277-480V. We have LED AC and DC Lighting that can be connected directly to a DC power supply.

All Our LED Marine Grade Flood Lights are IP65 or Better

All our marine-grade products are wet location rated (IP65 or better).  That includes some lights that are IP66, IP67, and IP68. IP68 is a better water protection than IP65.

What are Your Marine Grade Flood Lights Made of?

Most of our marine-grade lights are made with aluminum frames. Some are aircraft aluminum grade with stainless steel screws and hardware. Our 200W, 400W, 600W, 800W, and 1200W high power floods are die-cast aluminum with a special marine finish and UL Marine certified (UL1598A).

What are the Mounting Options Available for Marine Grade Lights?

We offer trunnion, slip fitter, and yoke mounting options for our marine-grade lights.

Do You Need Special Wiring for LED Marine Grade Flood Lights?

You should enclose the wiring and protect it from the elements as much as possible.

What is the Best Flood Light for Marine Use?

The best flood lights deliver the right amount of light using the proper beam angle intended for the job. Seaport high mast lights need a different light than ones mounted on a crane. Or for general lighting on an offshore drilling platform. We do offer lighting plans to help you sort through all the choices. So in the end you end up with the best light that meets your needs.

Is the Marine Grade Standard Found on Any Flood Light?

No, but we do have fixtures that allow us to add the marine grade option. Contact us and we can help you find the best option.
