Originally developed for museums, the NoUVIR (pronounced
NEW-veer) fiber optic lighting system has some of the smallest and most
innovative interior fixtures on the market, each with complete control over aim,
focus and intensity. Dozens of luminaires are available, including floods, spots
and pinspots. NoUVIR beams adjust from five to 50 degrees (close-up pin spots go
down to two degrees) with clean beam edges and no spill, aberrations or halos.

Founded by lighting innovator and entrepreneur Nigel Savage,
Ocean-LED manufactures the industry’s most advanced underwater fixtures. With five
available outputs up to 180 watts, these lights reach full illumination in less
than 100 nanoseconds and run at only 10 degrees Celsius above ambient water
temperature. Lamp lifespan is projected to be more than 40,000 hours. Units are
available for use in metal or composite hulls for new construction or refit.

For an alternative lighting solution, designer Patrick Knowles
recommends a new line of wireless, battery-powered LED lamps from
Frederick
Cooper (available at Turner Bay in Fort Lauderdale) that
can be placed anywhere; no plugs, wires or outlets needed. The options are
unlimited: next to the hot tub for a romantic setting, on a table in the cockpit
or on the aft deck dining table (say goodbye to those old hurricane lamps). www.frederickcooper.com (Click images to enlarge)
Control is a key factor in lighting design, says designer Glade
Johnson, who often specifies the Lite Touch system
for its capabilities and resultant lack of clutter. Another product that holds
promise, he says, is EIB/Konnex, which
integrates lighting, drapes, telephones, entertainment components and HVAC into
a wireless system that can be managed by a single controller with built-in
diagnostics. The design reduces the amount of equipment needed throughout the
boat. www.litetouch.com

 A leading manufacturer of RGB (red/green/blue) LED lighting
systems, Color
Kinetics offers a wide variety of lighting solutions for
interior and exterior use, including damp locations. The range of high- and
low-intensity luminaires includes strip lights, accent lights, spots,
wall-washers and, for a completely different look, four-square-foot tiles. All
units can be controlled using a DMX512 lighting console, a PC or a Color
Kinetics controller. www.colorkinetics.com (Click image to enlarge)
