  # Lumishore Underwater Lighting

## Underwater LED lights have become a staple for vessels ranging from center consoles to superyachts. Whether sitting at anchor or on a dock, those onboard can see the wonders of the ocean swim by, while suffering the envious stares of those not invited to the party. A company called Lumishore, headquartered in the UK, is lighting up boats as small as tenders all the way to superyachts.

They also believe in providing these solutions at a price you can afford. This passion is apparent in the quality and value of the Lumishore line of underwater lighting products.

## Distinguishing Features

Complete in-house design capabilities have enabled Lumishore to create exceptionally powerful marine lighting systems with the highest light output available from 1,100 to over 23,000 fixture lumens. Few companies can match this performance.

![Lumishore](/sites/default/files/inline-images/lumishore-6.jpg)

Lumishore lights shine bright enough to see considerable detail in shallow water with little or no moonlight.## Accreditations

Lumishore is ISO9001 certified, has ABS, RINA, DNV/GL Classification Approvals and is the only underwater LED lighting provider with full Lloyd’s Type Approval, including safety-critical EMI/EMC testing and compliance.

![Lumishore](/sites/default/files/inline-images/lumishore-7.jpg)

Lumishore lights require very little space inside the hull.Lumishore lights sync to one another using built-in technology. Each fixture communicates with the other lights within the system. This allows smooth color, on-off and brightness transitions.

All Lumishore products are backed by the company’s guarantee of a quality product. Surface mount lights come with either a one-year or two-year factory-backed warranty. All other lights are warranted to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for three years.

![Lumishore](/sites/default/files/inline-images/lumishore-8.jpg)

No trouble finding space for multiple lights on nearly any transom.## Design

Lumishore designs, develops, and manufactures its systems exclusively in Swansea, U.K. and has proven itself to be the premier supplier of underwater LED lighting solutions for all sizes of boats from RIBs to the world’s largest superyachts.

Choose from 12 types of boats, from an 18’ bass boat to a superyacht. Select the number of lights, location(s), and color(s) and get an instant, computer-generated rendering of the selected lights and their effects.

The on/off switch on the product webpages may be a bit gimmicky but everyone who lands on those pages is likely to flip the switch and see what happens.## Price

The most basic, surface-mount light from Lumishore – SMX11 starts at $200. Prices will rise according to how many fixtures, the capabilities of the lights, and the choice of controls you order. There are too many variables to give an accurate summary of pricing for all options, however, outfitting a small pleasure boat with a basic Lumishore system can be accomplished for under $399. Lumi-Link MFD control starts at $849.

![Lumishore](/sites/default/files/inline-images/lumishore-12.jpg)

Swimming after dark doesn’t mean swimming in the dark.## Observations

There are a number of reasons boaters choose underwater lighting. Being able to see obstructions and swimmers at night are two important, practical reasons.

Then there’s the less serious side of underwater lighting. A lot of Lumishore’s product features are just about style and fun. How cool is it to be able to use your smart device to create an underwater light show that pulses and changes color in time with the music?

![Lumishore](/sites/default/files/inline-images/lumishore-13.jpg)

No longer are exciting boat lighting schemes the sole realm of the rich and famous.## The Nuts and Bolts of Installation

### Mounting Options

Every Lumishore light requires a hole in the hull for wiring. The type of light will determine the size of the hole.
