Background
A Norwegian shipping company needed to replace deck lighting on its fleet. Traditional halogen lights consumed high energy, had short lifespans, and frequently failed under sea spray and salt corrosion. The client demanded IP68 waterproof, salt‑fog resistance, wide voltage input (AC100‑277V), and reliable startup at ‑30°C.
Challenges
- Harsh marine environment: salt spray, vibration, temperature swings.
- Lights had to meet DNV classification requirements.
- Tight delivery schedule: first 200 units within 60 days.
Solution
Our engineers developed a 200W dimmable LED floodlight based on the client’s dimensions and illumination needs:
- Marine‑grade aluminum housing + powder coating, IP68 rated.
- Conformal coating on driver circuits + 6kV surge protection.
- Osram high‑efficiency LEDs, 5000K, Ra＞80.
- Provided full DNV type approval test documentation.
Results
- First 200 units shipped to Norway in 55 days.
- Energy consumption reduced by 65%, annual maintenance cost down 80%.
- Follow‑up order of 300 units, and referral to other Nordic shipowners.
Client Feedback
“LYD exceeded our expectations in both technology and delivery. The lights performed perfectly in the North Sea winter.”
