Shadow-Caster

The latest boating must-have is programable LED lighting strips. The new Shadow-Caster SCM-DLC-3CH Digital Light Controller makes it easy to program and operate three separate digitally addressable strips that create dazzling light shows. For larger vessels and/or those with unique layouts, adding a pair of SCM-DLC-TX-RX Digital Light Controller Extenders adapts this technology to be used up to 50′ from the controller.

The three-channel Digital Light Controller can be used as a standalone product or networked into a Shadow-NET-enabled device such as the Shadow-Caster Light Commander. A mere 3.5″ x 2.6″ x 1.2″, the DLC-3CH controller and connectors are waterproof to IP67 standards. Running on 12V DC, it powers up to 10 amps of digital lighting. Digital overcurrent protection and a backlit power indicator ensure safe, simple and reliable operation. Twelve unique light show are pre-programmed into the device; a video demonstration is at www.bit.ly/Shadow-Caster-SCM.

When the boat doesn’t accommodate a standard LED lighting configuration with the DLC-3CH, Digital Light Controller Extenders make it simple to adapt. Used in pairs, the modules can be wired as either transmitters or receivers. The former converts the one-wire signal from a standard WS protocol to a two-wire differential signal. Conversely, used as a receiver, it will take the two-wire signal and convert it back to a standard single-wire protocol. Both the controller and extenders are simple for OEMs and DIYers to install and use.

Backed by a three-year warranty, the Shadow-Caster SCM-DLC-3CH Digital Light Controller costs $189.99; SCM-DLC-TX-RX Digital Light Controller Extenders run $26.25 each; and a combination of the controller and three extenders is $229. Digital Accent Light Strips start at $229.

The award-winning Light Commander PLUS from Shadow-Caster redefined marine lighting control. Now with the V2 version poised to debut, the company is bringing the unit’s companion app for iOS mobile devices online this November.

Like the original controller, the NMEA 2000® compatible Light Commander PLUS V2 with Ethernet provides complete management of all interior, exterior, underwater and accent lighting. The updated V2 version adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® connectivity through the Shadow-Caster iOS companion app.

With the Shadow-Caster iOS companion app, users have full access to the Light Commander PLUS V2’s wide range of new features. Pairing a mobile device to the controller is fast and easy. Configuration is intuitive. The ability to select a specific color, brightness, fade and music sync for each light, depending on the fixture, allows users to group the settings as a “scene” for future use.

Shadow-Caster’s pioneering technology contributed to NMEA 2000 lighting control standards and many of its products utilize this plug-and-play protocol. It has longstanding partnerships with marine electronics manufacturers and boatbuilders for integrated lighting control solutions. Shadow-Caster manufactures all its products in the USA.
