Marine And Boat
IP68 hull, deck and underwater lighting plus cabin strip for boat builders, refit yards and marine distributors.
Marine LED Lighting
IP68 Marine LED Light
IP68 rated underwater, hull and deck LED lights for boats, vessels and dock installations.
Product overview
What This Product Is
Marine lighting has been part of Sunlitec since the company started in 2010, alongside the automotive range. The marine products are built to IP68 for continuous immersion rather than the IP67 splash rating that suits a road vehicle. On a hull, the parts that decide service life are the cable entry, the fastener material and the seal, not the LED.

Comparison
How It Compares
An IP67 work light is rated for temporary immersion and belongs above the waterline at most. IP68 is the rating for continuous immersion and is what an underwater or hull position requires. For a dry cabin interior, marine grade strip light is a cheaper and more flexible answer.
Use guide
Installation And Service Notes
- Use IP68 rated products for any position that is immersed or below the waterline
- Bed the fastener with the sealant specified for your hull material
- Seal the cable termination inside the hull so moisture cannot wick up the core
- Inspect the seal and fastener at every haul out rather than only on failure

IP67 vs IP68 For Vehicle And Marine Lighting
The two ratings are one digit apart and describe very different service conditions. Fitting the wrong one below the waterline is an expensive mistake.
FAQ
IP68 Marine LED Light FAQ
What does IP68 mean in practice?
IP68 covers continuous immersion, as opposed to IP67 which covers temporary immersion. For a hull or underwater fitting, IP68 is the rating you need.
Can these be fitted below the waterline?
The IP68 rating covers immersion. Whether a specific model suits a through hull position depends on the fastener and housing material, so confirm the model with us for the hull material you are working with.
What colours are available?
Colour options are confirmed per model. Tell us the application, since underwater fishing, deck and dock lighting use different colours.
Do you supply to boat builders in volume?
Yes. We supply marine distributors and builders, and private label is available.
