NIGHT LIGHTS FOR YOUR BOAT THIS SUMMER!

As the holiday weekend approaches us ...we want to remind you to use caution at night.  Adding LED boats to the transom of your boats can prevent many accidents this summer!

Already there are many reports of evening hit and run accidents on our lakes and oceans.  So please take caution at night. Drive slower if you are new to the water way. Keep your eyes open for swimmers at night and other boaters.

One of the best thing you can do is to add some lights onto the transom of your boat if you plan on late night swimming or anchoring out with friends in the evening hours. 

Before you leave for your day of fun ... make sure to do a

Navigation lights checklist

  • Check switches are on.
  • Check navigation lights are on and working.
  • Physically check each light is on.
  • Turn off cabin lights as it may reduce your ability to see.
  • If the vessel has a flybridge and weather permits, it is generally preferable to drive from there as you will have a better all round view.
  • If you anchor at night, show an all-round white light where it can best be seen.
And if anything is not working - make sure you replace it!  We have a huge selection at www.LumaSea.com to make sure your summer boating season is a safe one! 

Happy and Safe July 4th to Everyone!
