How to Choose the Perfect LED Flood Light for Your Vessel: The DRSA Buyer's Guide
Selecting the right lighting involves more than just picking a fixture. It requires understanding your specific needs and the technical specifications that define performance. Use this expert guide to make an informed decision.
-
Flood Lights: These produce a wide, expansive beam (typically 90-120 degrees) designed to illuminate large, open areas like an aft deck, cockpit, or dock. Their purpose is broad, even coverage over a relatively short distance.
-
Spreader Lights: Traditionally mounted on the spreaders of a sailboat's mast, these lights cast a downward beam to illuminate the deck and rigging. Modern spreader lights, like the Lumitec Zephyr, are versatile and can be mounted on T-tops, arches, and towers to provide focused overhead lighting
-
Spotlights: These produce a very narrow, focused beam of light (typically under 45 degrees) designed to illuminate objects at a great distance. They are primarily used for navigation, identifying channel markers, or search-and-rescue operations, not for general deck illumination.
Decoding the Specs: A Practical Guide for Mariners
Don't get lost in the numbers. Here’s what truly matters for marine applications.
-
Small Decks & Accent Areas: 1,000 - 5,000 lumens
-
Medium Decks & Work Areas: 5,000 - 15,000 lumens
-
Large Decks & Commercial Applications: 15,000 - 50,000+ lumens
-
Beam Angle (Coverage): This determines how wide or narrow the light spreads. A wide beam angle (e.g., 120°) is perfect for flood lights mounted relatively low to cover a broad deck space. A narrower beam angle (e.g., 40°-60°) is better for spreader lights mounted high on a mast or tower, as it concentrates the light downwards onto the target area instead of wasting it to the sides.
-
IP Rating (Waterproofing): The Ingress Protection (IP) rating is critical for marine electronics. It's a two-digit code where the second digit indicates liquid protection. For marine use, accept nothing less than:
-
IP65: Protected against low-pressure water jets. Suitable for areas with minimal spray.
-
IP66: Protected against powerful water jets. A good minimum for most above-waterline exterior locations.
-
P67: Protected against temporary immersion in water (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes). Ideal for areas that may take on waves or be heavily washed down. .
-
IP68: Protected against continuous, long-term immersion in water. This is the highest level of protection, suitable for the most demanding and exposed locations.
Built for the Brine: Why Marine-Grade Materials Matter
The term "marine-grade" is often used loosely. At DRSA, it signifies a specific set of construction standards designed to combat saltwater corrosion. Our lights feature robust, die-cast aluminum housings with a durable powder-coat or epoxy finish. All external fasteners, brackets, and hardware are made from high-quality 316 stainless steel, which offers superior resistance to rust and pitting in a saline environment. This commitment to materials ensures your lighting investment will withstand years of exposure to the elements.
Powering Your Performance: 12V vs. 24V DC Systems
Our entire collection of marine LED flood lights is engineered to work seamlessly with the standard electrical systems found on modern vessels. Most models are multi-voltage, compatible with both 12V and 24V DC systems, ensuring easy integration whether you're outfitting a small center console or a large yacht. They are designed to integrate perfectly with leading marine electrical components from brands like Victron and Blue Sea Systems.
Installation Insights: DIY-Friendly vs. Professional Rigging
Many of our flood lights, particularly those with bracket mounts, are designed for straightforward installation by a confident DIYer. However, for more complex setups, such as integrating with an MFD, installing multiple lights, or performing flush-mount cutouts, we strongly recommend consulting a professional. The experts in our dealer network can ensure your lighting is installed safely, securely, and to ABYC standards for optimal performance and longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions – Marine LED Flood Lights & Installation
Are DRSA’s marine flood lights truly waterproof?
Yes. Our LED flood lights are specifically built for the harsh marine environment. They carry high Ingress Protection (IP) ratings, from IP65 for protection against water jets to IP68 for full, continuous submersion on select models. They are engineered to be resistant to saltwater spray, UV rays, and extreme weather conditions.
Can I use these LED flood lights for both interior and exterior applications?
Absolutely. The key is to check the IP rating of the specific model. Fixtures with lower IP ratings are excellent for protected interior spaces like engine rooms or covered cockpits. Lights with higher ratings, such as IP67 and IP68, are designed for fully exposed exterior locations like decks, T-tops, masts, and transoms.
How long do LED marine flood lights last?
Our marine-grade LED floodlights are rated for an operational lifespan of over 50,000 hours. For the average boater, this translates to many years of dependable, maintenance-free use with no bulbs to replace, representing a significant advantage over halogen lights which typically last only 2,000-4,000 hours.
How much power do these LED lights draw?
LED flood lights are exceptionally energy-efficient, using far less power (amperage) than older halogen or incandescent options to produce the same or greater light output. This helps reduce the strain on your boat's batteries and alternator, preserving power for other critical systems.
Will these lights work with my boat's 12V or 24V system?
Yes. The vast majority of our LED flood lights are designed with multi-voltage drivers that are compatible with both 12V and 24V DC electrical systems, which are standard on most recreational and commercial vessels. They integrate seamlessly with popular marine electrical gear from Victron, Blue Sea Systems, and others.
What is the difference between a flood light and a spreader light?
A flood light typically has a very wide beam angle (e.g., 120 degrees) to illuminate a large area like a deck. A spreader light has a more focused, downward-facing beam designed to light the area below its mounting point, such as the deck below a mast or T-top, with less light spill.
What does an IP rating like IP67 actually mean for a boat light?
An IP rating classifies the level of protection against solids (first digit) and liquids (second digit). For the second digit, a '7' (as in IP67) means the fixture is protected against temporary immersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. An '8' (IP68) means it's protected against continuous submersion under conditions specified by the manufacturer. This rating ensures the light's internal electronics are sealed against water damage.
Why should I choose DRSA over a big-box marine store?
