Fans of On Board will know that I am very keen on LED lights so was pleased to see these babies from Lumitec. The picture shows the flush mount version which would be a great fitting for the bridge deck of a sport fishing boat for lighting up the cockpit. There are other versions which would be suitable as spreader lights on a sailboat for lighting up the deck or as a spot light for a work boat.
The lights look pretty cool, resistant salt water and I do especially like the rounded and nicely smoothed off casing which would complement many boats. The overall dimensions are small too, the light has a foot print of 5 inches long and 1 3/4 inches wide and the cut out is a diminutive 3 3/4 by 1 1/4 inches so these lights should fit in many places where traditional halogens would refuse to go.
The light output of this model is claimed to be equivalent to a 55 watt halogen which is plenty of light so a couple of these would give plenty of light for working in the cockpit or on deck.
The light has a MSRP of $194.
If you are keen on LED lights, you will really like this new high performance LED penlight. It is very small but produces a HUGE amount of light (I have one)

Thanks John,
I'll try to get hold of a sample and give it a try, it could be very useful the next time I am out on a survey for looking into very small spaces.

I have two of the Lumitecs on our marinevideoproductions.com boat, and they put out very bright, white light and the casing does not get hot. That combined with minimal draw made them a great choice.
