Boat Courtesy Lights – Subtle Lighting for Safe, Stylish Boating
Courtesy lights may be small, but they play a big role in both safety and comfort on your boat. These low-level lights are designed to illuminate walkways, steps, and interior areas without causing glare—helping you and your passengers move around safely after dark.
What Are Courtesy Lights?
Courtesy lights are small, often recessed or surface-mounted fixtures placed in areas where visibility is important but full brightness isn’t needed. You’ll commonly find them installed along:
-
Decks and walkways
-
Stairs and steps
-
Cabins and cockpits
-
Under gunwales or seating areas
They provide just enough light to see clearly without disrupting your night vision or drawing attention to your boat.
Why Are They Important?
Moving around a boat at night can be hazardous without proper lighting. Courtesy lights reduce the risk of trips or falls and help everyone onboard feel more secure. They also add a touch of style and ambiance, making your boat look polished and inviting during evening outings or dockside events.
How Do They Work?
Most courtesy lights are powered by your boat’s 12V electrical system and are easy to turn on with a switch or dimmer. Many models use LEDs, which are long-lasting, cool to the touch, and available in a variety of colors—like white, blue, or red—to match your boat’s look and lighting preferences.
