LEDs are semiconductor devices. Like transistors, and other diodes, LEDs are
made out of silicon. What makes an LED give off light are the small amounts of
chemical impurities that are added to the silicon, such as gallium, arsenide,
indium, and nitride.
When current passes through the LED, it emits photons as a byproduct. Normal
light bulbs produce light by heating a metal filament until it's white hot.
Because LEDs produce photons directly and not via heat, they are far more
efficient than incandescent bulbs.
Not long ago LEDs were only bright enough to be used as indicators on dashboards
or electronic equipment. But recent advances have made LEDs bright enough to
rival traditional lighting technologies. Modern LEDs can replace incandescent
bulbs in almost any application.
SeaMaster Strip
lights have been USCG approved to be ignition proof.
This means you can safely mount our strip
lights any place you like on your boat.
SeaMaster lights create an excellent lighting source in a dark storage and bilge
compartments.
Below deck installation is easy and best of all there are no corrosive metals or
bulb contacts to fail.
SeaMaster Strip
lights have been tested and approved to an IP68 rating.
