Key Benefits
1) Energy Efficiency & Cost Control
Design & Engineering
Week 0–1: Audit & concept design
Week 2: Engineering, BOM, and control logic
Week 3–4: Installation & rough-in (zone by zone)
Week 5: Commissioning, scenes, crew training
(Timelines vary by vessel size, access, and scope. We can phase work around charter calendars.)
Technical Specs & Compatibility (Highlights)
FAQs
Will this work with my current control system?
Yes. We integrate with Crestron, KNX, Lutron, Savant, Control4, and standalone DMX/DALI.
Can you retrofit without visible changes to joinery?
In most cases, yes. We use low-profile profiles and reuse service cavities where possible.
What about night navigation lighting?
We program low-lux red/amber scenes for safe movement without compromising night vision.
Do smart LEDs interfere with other electronics?
We specify low-EMI drivers, proper shielding, and filtering to protect sensitive equipment.
What warranty do you provide?
Typical LED engines: 3–5 years; drivers and controls: 2–3 years, plus our service SLA.
