LED Light with functionality

German manufacturer, PREBIT, are constantly upgrading the functionality of the large range of LED lights, suitable for small, medium, large and superyachts.

Prebit-soft dimmer – all of the dimmable lights can be regulated to any intensity by means of the soft switch push button. The memory function ensures that the light switch on at the selected brightness the last time the light was switched on. With the new innovative dim2warm technology which many of the Prebit lights now feature this new warm tone technology which ensures that the light actually gets a warmer colour temperature ( from 3000 – 2200K) as it dims. This provides a nice ‘good-feel’ light similar to the incandescent and halogen bulbs, whereas up until now when the intensity of the light was dimmed the light appeared to become colder.

All lights marked with the USB symbol are now available with a USB charger, which is integrated into the wall housing of the light. It is suitable for charging smartphones, tablet, navigation devices, digital cameras and other devices which require a high charging current.

Also available are the Flex 05 series with night function… and if the night function is not required, there is a large selection of flex lights with the soft switch and integrated dimming functionality.

The Cabin Classics

After a long search for truly a beautiful boat light, Danish silversmith and designer Povl Frigast began manufacturing these high-quality CABIN lights in 1977. They are a successful combination of design and functionality, inspiration from the era of the large classic yachts.

Previously the CABIN & OCEAN range of lights were either available in brass or chrome.  In order to retain their highly polished finish, the surface was coated with a lacquer, which in certain climates, started to peel off and look rather tatty, as well as showing signs of corrosion. The small and medium CABIN  & OCEAN Classic are now manufactured in 316 stainless steel, the brass version stainless steel and are coated with PVD (physical vapour deposition-  corrosion-resistant brass layer) and without any special care will retain their highly polished finish and be corrosion-free for many many years.

To match these are a range of ceiling lights, the CABIN Anne and CABIN Mia, two sizes, fitted now with LED and offering a choice of night function – switch red/white.
