LedsMaster LED Lighting
Introducing advanced trawler lighting solutions: Designed to enhance safety, efficiency, and profitability for fishing vessels, our LED lighting systems offer superior performance and durability in demanding marine environments. Discover how our innovative technology can optimize your operations, from energy savings to enhanced fish attraction capabilities.
Deploying flood lights on a fishing boat not only aids navigation but also enhances catch yields during each voyage. We provide top-tier LED lighting solutions designed for trawlers, cargo ships, containers, and various other vessels. Ensuring crew safety is paramount. Our robust illumination spans the sea surface, enabling fishermen and captains to preemptively detect approaching ships or obstacles, crucially effective on foggy days.
Incorporating green lights on your fishing boat can significantly increase fish catch rates, as many bait fish are attracted to green light and tend to congregate around your trawler.
Opting for color-changing RGB lights represents an optimal choice, emitting both white and green lights. Our trawler lighting systems offer versatile color control functionalities while maintaining a lightweight and compact design. Explore the benefits of our LED solutions today.

Determining the appropriate brightness for boat lighting is crucial for ensuring safe navigation and mitigating collision risks, especially in situations where radar systems may be unreliable. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs), vessels are mandated to implement practical measures to prevent collisions. These measures include installing masthead lights, sidelights (red & green), sternlights, towing lights, all-round lights, and a flashing light with a frequency greater than 2Hz.
Effective navigation lighting typically requires illuminance levels ranging from 150 to 300 lux. This level of brightness ensures clear visibility, enabling the identification of approaching watercraft well in advance. It plays a critical role in enhancing situational awareness and maneuverability, crucial factors for maritime safety.
For fishing operations, specialized lighting is essential to maximize catch rates. Green lights, offering 200 lux or more, are particularly recommended. Green light is known to attract bait fish, effectively drawing them closer to the vessel and increasing the chances of a successful catch. This targeted lighting strategy not only aids in fishing efficiency but also contributes to sustainable practices by minimizing bycatch.
Waterproofing is paramount for marine lighting systems due to the harsh conditions encountered at sea, including exposure to saltwater and electrolytes. Our advanced trawler lighting solutions meet stringent IP66 standards, ensuring complete protection against water ingress from any direction. This high level of waterproofing enables LEDs to operate reliably in challenging marine environments, including heavy seas and adverse weather conditions.
The ability of our lighting systems to remain functional and durable under such conditions enhances the safety and operational efficiency of fishing vessels. It minimizes downtime due to equipment failure, thereby optimizing fishing operations and ensuring continuous productivity.
Beyond navigation and general lighting needs, specialized colored lights play a pivotal role in maximizing fishing yields. Submersible green lights, in particular, have proven highly effective. The green light emitted is reflected off the water’s surface, creating a visual beacon that attracts fish towards the light source. By submerging these lights strategically, fishermen can concentrate and attract fish in specific areas, significantly enhancing catch rates.
The use of color-changing RGB lights offers versatility in fishing strategies. These lights can emit both white light for general illumination and green light for attracting fish. Such flexibility allows fishermen to adapt their lighting tactics based on fishing conditions and target species, thereby optimizing their catch potential while conserving energy and resources.
Reliable lighting is indispensable during emergencies and prolonged operations at sea. To ensure continuous operation and safety, our lighting systems are equipped with external backup battery solutions tailored to the size and requirements of the vessel. These backup power systems provide an additional layer of reliability, independent of the boat’s primary battery.
Bright, continuous lighting is not only essential for illuminating the vessel itself but also for enhancing visibility to other maritime traffic. This visibility is crucial for preventing collisions and ensuring safe navigation, especially during low-light conditions or adverse weather. By maintaining optimal visibility, our lighting solutions contribute to overall maritime safety and operational efficiency, supporting seamless fishing activities and vessel management.
Switching to LED lights offers significant cost savings due to higher energy efficiency compared to traditional lighting technologies like metal halide (MH), high-pressure sodium (HPS), or halogen bulbs. For example, our 400-watt LED lights can effectively replace 1000-watt metal halide lamps or even 4000-watt halogen bulbs. LED technology boasts superior luminous efficacy, ensuring longer operational hours per battery charge during fishing expeditions.
While the initial cost of LED trawler lights may be higher than MH, halogen, or other HID solutions, the long-term energy savings far outweigh the upfront investment. This translates into reduced daily and monthly operational costs. For instance, a trawler using 5000 watts of LED lighting would cost approximately $4.8 per day and $144 per month at a rate of $0.12 per kWh. In contrast, halogen lights would consume about 50,000 watts (10 times more than LED) for comparable brightness, resulting in daily costs of $48 and monthly costs of $1440. Such savings significantly impact the profitability of fishing operations reliant on energy-intensive lighting solutions.

Our LED lights feature robust construction with high-quality aluminum alloy lamp bodies that are corrosion and impact resistant. Unlike metal halide, HPS, or halogen bulbs, LEDs do not contain delicate filaments or brittle materials, ensuring durability even in harsh marine environments such as rainstorms and heavy waves. With a lifespan of up to 80,000 hours—approximately 8 to 10 times longer than HIDs—our LED lights require significantly less frequent replacement, thereby reducing maintenance costs over the long term.
Investing in durable and long-lasting lighting fixtures is crucial for minimizing downtime and operational disruptions, further enhancing the cost-effectiveness of LED technology.
LEDs are renowned for their brightness and versatility, making them an ideal lighting solution for fishing vessels. They offer superior illumination per wattage, providing clear visibility of lake or river conditions ahead of the boat. We offer a range of power options tailored to the specific needs of commercial, recreational, and artisanal fishing operations.
Additionally, our color-changing flood lights are particularly favored by commercial fishermen. These lights emit green and other colored hues that attract bait fish, subsequently drawing larger predators. This targeted use of RGB lights enhances fishing yields while maintaining the flexibility to switch back to white light for optimal navigation and operational visibility.
Upgrading to LED lighting for fishing vessels offers compelling advantages: reduced energy consumption, lower maintenance costs due to superior durability, and enhanced operational efficiency with versatile, brightly colored illumination. Embracing LED technology not only improves economic outcomes but also supports sustainable practices in maritime operations.
