Project brief

Legacy mercury vapor floods on a workboat in Alaska drew heavy power and yellowed deck light. We installed marine rated LED floods with salt fog resistant housings and precise aiming for deck and crane work. Visibility and start up performance improved in cold, wet conditions while generator load and maintenance dropped.

## Project Overview, Marine LED Flood Workboat Deck Operations, Alaska

We replaced mercury vapor floods with marine rated LED floods, using salt fog resistant housings and precise aiming for deck and crane work. The upgrade improved white light visibility in cold, wet conditions, delivered instant starts, and eased generator load and maintenance demands.

Primary product: RT Series Marine Rated Flood

Marine rated floods improved deck clarity in cold, wet conditions while easing power demand.

Visibility: White light on deck and cranes improved line handling and checks.

Start performance: Instant on operation replaced slow warmup from legacy lamps.

Power and upkeep: Lower generator load and fewer lamp changes reduced maintenance.

Marine floods specified for salt fog, vibration, spray, and cold starts.

UL 1598A marine suitability for shipboard and nearshore environments.

Sealed connectors and gaskets to resist spray and condensation.

Impact and vibration considerations for deck operations and cranes.

Instant start drivers reliable in freezing conditions.
