Marine Courtesy Lights, Boat Cabin Lights, & Chart Lights FAQs

How do I change the output color on 2 and 3-color Lumitec lights?

Multi-color or multi-output lights may be Lumitec's TTP technology. To change the output color or output mode of light, briefly toggle the light OFF then immediately back ON. The light will cycle to the alternate or next output color.

My Lumitec lights are well out of warranty but they have been damaged. Does Lumitec offer a repair service?

Yes, your lights may be sent to Lumitec for a free assessment. They will provide you with a quote for repair. Shipping and repair costs are the sole responsibility of the customer. All requests for service or repair should be submitted through our online service request form.

What do I use to clean my Lumitec Boat Cabin lights?

Solvents, harsh chemicals, or abrasive/scouring pads should not be used for cleaning. Mild soap and water are generally sufficient to remove grime and salt spray. Underwater lights may be cleaned with a nylon brush and flexible straightedge to remove the growth on the lens surface and housing as necessary.

How do I operate my Lumitec Spectrum Color lights?

RGBW LED Technology refers to the use of red, green, blue, and white LED emitters in a single light. The various combinations of these LEDs will create nearly every possible color output option in the color spectrum.

Spectrum Color is controlled with the use of Lumitec’s proprietary TTP, Timed Toggle Protocol technology. TTP is the use of brief “off/on” toggles of the light’s power switch to dim the light, select color output, or cycle through the light modes.

The light will turn on in white and ramp up to full intensity over a 4-second period. The light will remain white until the color cycle mode is selected. You may dim the white color by toggling the switch as the light ramps up. Interrupting the ramp-up period sets the light at a lower level.

Once the white light is on, toggle once to enter the color cycle mode. A 15-second color cycle is followed by a continuous 3-minute color cycle for more precise control. The color cycle will always start with red for easy access to the night vision mode.

To select a color, as it appears toggle the switch once and the light will lock to the selected color. To dim the color, select the desired color with a toggle of the switch. Then immediately toggle again to set the color intensity. Interrupting the ramp-up period sets the light at a lower level.

To reset the light, turn the light off for 3 seconds and it will reset to white mode.

Night vision and color cycle mode can be entered directly from an off position.

• For the color cycle mode, toggle the switch three times to start the cycle.
• For night vision mode, toggle the switch four times to set the light to red.

How do I know that the color of my Lumitec marine lights will match?

Lumitec carefully selects LEDs with tightly controlled color outputs to ensure color consistency from product to product, and even from product family to product family. The human eye can detect about 10 million different colors. This means that even minor variations in output hue across a group of lights can be detected, and may be unappealing in some situations. Lumitec carefully selects "Bins" of LEDs (batches of LEDs that have been grouped together by the manufacturer because they have extremely similar output) so that output hue is consistent from light to light and product family to the product family. In many instances, Lumitec's LED suppliers such as Cree and Phillips Lumileds will design and maintain Bins exclusively to Lumitec's exacting specifications.

In 2012 Lumitec introduced "ColorMatch": a way to ensure that all of the lights for a given application have the same output hue. The ColorMatch system ensures that output hues (e.g. warm white, neutral white, blue, red, etc.) are consistent between individual lights within a family, and between different product families.
