Dr. LED marine LED products have been tested with a marine VHF radio using the procedures described in USCG Marine Safety Alert 13-18. Our products showed no detectable radio interference during testing and also comply with FCC Part 15B requirements for electromagnetic emissions.
What to Look for When Choosing a Marine LED Bulb
Not all marine LED bulbs are engineered to the same standard. When selecting an LED replacement bulb, consider the following factors:
- Radio Frequency Interference (RFI): Poorly designed LED bulbs can generate electrical noise that interferes with marine VHF, AIS, and other onboard radio communications, creating a potential safety hazard.
- Non-Polarized Design: Polarized LED bulbs have ~a 50% chance of not illuminating on first installation if the polarity is reversed. In fixtures with single-contact sockets, they may not operate at all without rewiring. Dr. LED's non-polarized designs eliminate this issue.
- Correct Light Direction: In some fixtures, such as step lights and courtesy lights, polarized bulbs may illuminate in the wrong direction because of socket polarity, reducing lighting effectiveness.
- Regulated Power Supply: LED bulbs without proper voltage and current regulation are more susceptible to voltage fluctuations found in marine electrical systems, often resulting in overheating, inconsistent brightness, and premature failure.
- Corrosion Protection: Components without waterproof protective coatings are more vulnerable to moisture and saltwater corrosion, significantly reducing service life.
- Corrosion-Resistant Contacts: High-quality marine LED bulbs use corrosion-resistant contacts. Low-grade iron contacts can rust quickly in marine environments, leading to poor electrical connections.
- Proper Thermal Design: Over-driven LEDs and inadequate thermal management shorten LED life and reduce long-term reliability.
- Consistent Light Color: Premium LEDs maintain tight color consistency from bulb to bulb, while lower-quality LEDs often exhibit noticeable variations in color temperature and brightness.
- Quality Construction: Securely mounted electronic components and robust mechanical construction improve resistance to vibration and shock, helping ensure reliable operation in demanding marine environments.
What Customers Say
Very bright through the red/green lens of the bow light and a good fit inside my Aqua Signal Series 25 bow light.
Just installed 3 of these steaming/white plus red/green running lights on my sailboat… Very bright and very low draw according to the battery monitor. Very pleased.
