Compact LED fixtures flood interiors with COLOR

With the development of LEDs, interior lighting options have become much brighter for boaters and RVers. A new line of compact fixtures from Innovative Lighting brings an added glow to any space by offering a choice of four LED colors.

The 031, 033 and 034 series of compact interior lights have a wide spectrum of uses in boat and RV interiors. Available with white, red, blue or amber high-output LEDs, they can illuminate an area for general activity, safety or reading as well as providing accent and mood lighting. Having two mounting options and different LED configurations, the versatile lights can be placed in galleys, stairwells and sleeping areas. To highlight any décor, the fixtures come in four attractive finishes: brass, silver, black and white.

Whether recessed or surface-mounted, the round, 3" lights have a low profile and are easy to install. They operate with a 12V DC system and have an energy draw ranging from .40 milliamps to .70 milliamps. Rated for 50,000 hours of service, the durable LEDs are shock- and vibration-proof.

Both Innovative Lighting's 031 and 033 series lights have a single LED configuration that features super bright Luxeon® Star LEDs. Producing a wide field of illumination, the lights are suited for many applications. The 031 lights have a 1-watt output while the 033 series delivers 3 watts of output.

Featuring a 4-LED configuration, the 034 series lights project a concentrated beam like a spotlight. These recess-mounted fixtures are perfect for installation under cabinets and other places requiring a more focused light.

The suggested retail price for the 031 series models is $39.99, $44.99 for the 033 series and $29.99 for series 034.
