According to the regulations of the Coast Guard, continuous operation of a projector is frowned upon and permitted in certain circumstances, and in rare cases, then allowed underway. The basic rule for vessels that operate at night, it is best to run with minimal platforms operating light as possible, it is best to allow your eyes to naturally adjust to low light conditions, and any light source may interfere with or reduce your natural vision once their eyes acclimate to the darkness. Despite all this, however, projectors, in fact, play a key role in ensuring your boat is well equipped and can be essential in unusual or emergency conditions.
The most common use for a projector boat involves navigating uncharted waters and canals. To make matters worse, many markers well equipped with strobe lights or beacons often spend months without being served, then burned marker lighting is common. When navigating an unknown or river channel, it is often quite acceptable to use a projector in moderation as a way to inform potential obstacles and identify the markers. In the past, most homes were either single halogen bulb, or high intensity discharge design. Although effective, halogen and HID reflectors have significant limitations that can directly reduce its effectiveness. With halogen lamps, affecting the performance of the primary factor has always been the quality of the light beam to produce, and the relatively short life of the halogen lamp. Most boats average halogen lamps, 50 watts of power, and produce a slightly yellowish light beam, while being relatively powerful, it is often poorly targeted objective and contains artifacts. This can be seen in the typical boat center of attention when turned on and lit on a large flat surface dark spots in the center of the beam and a large amount of "leakage" outside the body of the main beam . These effects are low efficiency and reduced intensity, resulting in a shorter range and less than ideal contrast and provide details. Finally, halogen lamps can run very hot and cause burns, and the short average life expectancy of 500 hours making them less reliable.
Boat HID headlamps represent a significant advance in the relationship of halogens, and significant improvements to the quality and longevity beam. HID boat most homes is the range of 35 watts, and can produce light beams that reach up to 5,000 feet long. Because of its design lamp producing light that is more intense and whiter than halogen, helping to improve efficiency and effectiveness beam. As halogens, however, HID lamps operate hot enough. The lamp life is much higher than HID headlamps, but its glass design and high operating temperatures can cause problems with failures due to exposure lamps for rough handling conditions and wet, which are both obviously common aboard a boat.
LED lights are more recent arrival on the center stage of attention, and they offer a potentially more effective alternative for both halogen and HID headlamps. LEDs offer a much higher quality of beam halogen lamps and light, and can produce a well defined light beam with little spill and no beam artifact. The color quality of the light produced by the LEDs is remarkably better, and with a much whiter and more detail and color reproduction are the most important improvements over the halogens. Although LED spotlights are generally not as powerful as HID units, they overcome the halogens, and can produce light beams almost as long and effective than HIDs. LEDs last much longer than both HID and halogen lamps, with lifespan of 50,000 hours, which is the most common average. LEDs also run much cooler, reducing or even eliminating the possibility of accidental burns. Finally, LEDs are much more durable than either HID or halogen lamps. When you need a powerful long-range lighting and high intensity, powerful projector is ideal and indispensable. For more reliable and efficient as possible projectors, consider a LED spotlight.
