Lumishore, a leading manufacturer of high-performance marine LED lighting systems, is proud to announce the expansion of its Eclipse Lighting Collection. This premier lighting solution offers boat owners a cost-effective, easy-to-install, and easy-to-control connected system, now enhanced with additional features tailored for boats up to 45ft.

The Eclipse Collection now includes onboard RGB options such as strip lights, neon flex, and courtesy lights, along with a new White + RGB downlight. These additions provide a spectrum of vibrant, customizable lighting effects, enhancing both the ambiance and functionality of vessels.

The standout feature of the Eclipse Collection is its innovative control system. The Eclipse Command Center is the world’s first ultra-compact box with built-in drivers and zones for various light types. This fully integrated system eliminates the need for additional drivers, dimmer units, or voltage regulators, significantly reducing installation time and cost. Designed specifically for smaller boats where space is at a premium, the Eclipse Collection offers the perfect balance of advanced technology and compact design. Control options include MFD, smartphone, and switch.

"The expansion of our Eclipse Lighting Collection is a significant milestone for Lumishore," said Eifrion Evans, CEO of Lumishore. "We are excited to offer an even broader range of vibrant, customizable lighting options for boats up to 45ft, coupled with the industry’s most innovative control system, which itself has exciting new features. Our goal has always been to enhance the boating experience with advanced, high-quality and value lighting solutions, and the new additions and changes to the Eclipse Collection deliver that."

The expanded Eclipse Collection will have its European launch at the Cannes Yachting Festival and the Genoa International Boat Show, followed by its U.S. debut at IBEX*.

Backed by Lumishore's commitment to quality and reliability and supported by a 3-year warranty for all system components, the Eclipse Collection delivers high-quality lighting solutions at an affordable price. With these latest innovations, Lumishore continues to lead the industry in marine lighting, catering to all your boat lighting needs—from mood-enhancing illumination to practical lighting solutions that enhance safety and aesthetics on all sizes of boats, from runabouts to superyachts.
