Attwood Announces the Release of the Most Energy Efficient LED Navigational Lights in the Marine Industry

LOWELL, Mich. – March 13, 2007 – Attwood Corporation is introducing a new series of navigational lights that utilize proprietary optical and electrical design techniques to offer the brightest, highest performing, most energy efficient and most affordable LED lighting solutions in the marine industry.

“Through lens optimization, our products are capable of harnessing nearly 90 percent of the LED light output and directing it into a specific functional pattern,” said Kris Neff, category director, lighting – Attwood Corporation. “As a result, these lights exceed U.S. Coast Guard requirements with fewer and lower wattage LEDs.

  • Reverse polarity protected
  • Electro-static discharge protected
