Boat accent lights are installed in the engine vents, around the swim platform, under cabinets or counters, and around the perimeter of the aft lounge to highlight particular areas or objects for visual interest. Unlike the ambient and task layers of lighting that are each necessary to the functionality of a space, accent lighting is not utilitarian.
Accent lighting is used to reinforce design aesthetics of or create a dramatic emphasis on elements that deserve particular attention. In a word, accent lighting can transform a space from ordinary to extraordinary by creating a focal pool of light. To be effective in enhancing the prominence or attractiveness of an object, accent lighting necessitates as least three times as much illuminance intensity on the focal point as the ambient lighting surrounding it.
