Spreader Light Installation
At YachtService.me, based in Tivat, Montenegro, we offer professional spreader light installation services for yachts, providing essential illumination to enhance visibility and safety while at sea or docked. Spreader lights improve visibility on deck during nighttime maneuvers and illuminate key areas of your yacht for activities, safety checks, and inspections after dark. Our expert technicians handle all aspects of the installation, ensuring secure mounting, optimal positioning, and reliable performance tailored to your specific needs.

Why Install Spreader Lights?
Installing spreader lights on your yacht enhances both safety and convenience. They offer excellent visibility on deck, illuminating work areas and reducing risks of tripping or mishandling equipment at night. These lights also make it easier for other vessels to spot your yacht, which is especially helpful in crowded mooring areas or low-visibility conditions. Furthermore, spreader lights increase the aesthetic appeal of your yacht, creating a warm, welcoming glow that adds to the onboard ambiance.
Step-by-Step Guide to Spreader Light Installation by YachtService.me
1. Initial Consultation and Lighting Requirements Assessment
  • We start by consulting with the yacht owner to understand the purpose and preferred areas for illumination. We determine the best light specifications based on brightness, energy consumption, and beam angle to meet your needs.
  • Our technicians assess the mast height, spreader position, and deck layout to ensure the lights are mounted in optimal locations for even and effective illumination.
2. Selecting High-Quality Marine-Grade Lights
  • YachtService.me uses only marine-grade LED spreader lights designed to withstand Montenegro’s harsh marine environment, including UV exposure, saltwater, and variable weather conditions.
  • We select lights with IP68 waterproof ratings, corrosion-resistant housing, and energy-efficient LED technology, which ensures durability and long-lasting performance.
3. Planning the Wiring Layout and Electrical Integration
  • Our technicians plan the wiring layout for a seamless connection to the yacht’s electrical system. This includes determining the best route to minimize visible wiring and protect it from potential damage.
  • We confirm that the yacht’s power supply can handle the added load, ensuring no interference with existing electrical components.
4. Preparing the Installation Area and Safety Checks
  • Before installation, we prepare the mast and spreader areas, securing all tools and equipment to prevent any risk during high-elevation work. Our team follows strict safety protocols, using harnesses and protective gear as needed.
  • We inspect the spreaders and surrounding structures to ensure they can support the lights without compromising the rigging’s integrity.
5. Mounting the Lights on the Spreader
  • We carefully mount each light on the spreader, positioning it to provide optimal illumination across the deck. Our technicians ensure secure and stable installation using marine-grade brackets and hardware that can withstand vibrations and harsh weather.
  • Proper alignment is essential to avoid glare or shadows; we adjust the lights to achieve a balanced spread of light for effective deck illumination.
6. Running and Securing Electrical Wiring
  • Wiring is routed along the mast and through the spreader, with cables securely fastened to prevent any movement or chafing. We use UV-resistant and waterproof cable covers for long-lasting protection against the elements.
  • All connections are sealed with marine-grade heat-shrink tubing and waterproof connectors to prevent corrosion, ensuring a reliable and weather-resistant electrical setup.
7. Connecting to the Electrical System and Control Switch Installation
  • Our technicians integrate the spreader lights into your yacht’s electrical system, often connecting them to a dedicated control switch for easy on/off operation.
  • For convenience, we can also install a switch in the cockpit or at the helm, allowing for quick adjustments as needed.
8. Testing for Functionality and Brightness
  • After installation, we thoroughly test the spreader lights, checking for brightness, angle adjustment, and functionality. We ensure each light operates seamlessly, illuminating the intended areas without causing unwanted glare.
  • Our technicians perform a final inspection to verify that wiring, connections, and mounting are secure and in line with marine safety standards.
9. Owner Training and Light Maintenance Recommendations
  • Once installation is complete, we provide a brief demonstration on operating and adjusting the spreader lights. This includes explaining any switch controls, remote operations, or dimming features that may be part of your setup.
  • We offer maintenance tips to keep the lights in excellent condition, such as regular cleaning to remove salt residue and scheduling inspections to check for wear or wiring issues.
