Detailed description

Designed for marine lighting, the Garmin LUX SL180 CRGBW 2700 mm strip light provides a full-spectrum lighting solution with color adjustment. It features CRGBW LEDs (cool white, red, green, blue, warm white) and allows white color temperature adjustment from 2700 K to 6500 K. This flexibility enables the creation of various onboard ambiances.

Integration and Technical Performance

The LUX SL180 strip light is specifically designed to work with Lumishore LUX strip light control modules, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance. It is powered via a 10.5–31 VDC voltage range managed by a LUX control module, with an average power consumption of 8.7 W/m. The product is fully encapsulated and fitted with a diffuser with no visible hotspots, ensuring uniform light diffusion. With an IP68 rating, it is suitable for indoor and outdoor installations, including wet areas, but is not designed for permanent submersion.

Installation and Marine Durability

Installation of the LUX SL180 is facilitated by a 3M adhesive backing. For outdoor installations, wet areas, or tight radii, the use of screw-mounted fixing clips every 25 to 30 cm is recommended. Stainless steel metal clips are also available as an option for narrow mounting channels. The strip light is made from UV-resistant material and has been salt spray tested. It has a bending radius of 50 mm on the vertical axis, and it is imperative not to bend it on the horizontal axis or twist it. The strip light is supplied in pre-cut factory-sealed lengths to meet IP68 standards. While the installation guide states not to cut the strip, additional information specifies that it can be cut every 100 mm provided a sealing kit with silicone adhesive and end caps is used to maintain waterproofing after cutting. The product warranty is three years.

« Garmin LUX SL180 marine ambient lighting: integration and CRGBW flexibility »

The Garmin LUX SL180 CRGBW LED strip provides a flexible and high-performance supplementary lighting solution for the interiors and exteriors of vessels. Its main advantage is its ability to deliver full-spectrum CRGBW lighting with tunable white (2700 K to 6500 K), enabling advanced customization of onboard lighting ambiance. This versatility sets it apart from standard monochrome or basic RGB LED lights. It is particularly well-suited for decorative or subtle functional applications, such as lighting walkways, steps, lockers, or under-counter spaces on mid-sized to large sailboats and motor yachts. Its low profile and UV resistance make it a relevant choice for exposed areas.

Regarding installation, it is critical to note that the LUX SL180 must be connected to Lumishore LUX LED strip drivers to operate and to validate the warranty. This means it is not a standalone "plug-and-play" solution compatible with any controller but integrates into an existing or to-be-built Lumishore ecosystem. The 10.5–31 VDC input voltage is specific to these drivers. Respecting the minimum 50 mm bend radius on the vertical axis is essential to avoid damaging the strip. The original installation guide advises against cutting the strip, as it is supplied in factory-sealed, pre-cut lengths to meet IP68 standards. Cutting the strip would void the warranty and compromise the IP68 rating for this specific model.

Compared to more generic marine lighting solutions, the LUX SL180 stands out for its deep integration within the Lumishore/Garmin ecosystem, offering advanced control options via compatible MFDs, Lumishore displays, or smart devices (requiring the EOS-LUX control hub). This ensures a consistent and centralized user experience. Its main limitations lie in this dependency on the Lumishore ecosystem, which may represent a higher upfront cost for a complete installation if the infrastructure is not already in place. It is not designed for intense primary lighting but excels in adding customizable aesthetic and functional touches.

What is the length of the Garmin LUX SL180 light strip?

The Garmin LUX SL180 light bar has a length of 2700 mm.

What colors can this LED strip produce?

The LUX SL180 light strip is equipped with CRGBW LEDs, meaning it can produce cold white, red, green, blue, and warm white colors. It provides full-spectrum lighting.

Is the LUX SL180 light strip waterproof?

Yes, the LUX SL180 LED strip is fully sealed and has an IP68 protection rating. This means it is suitable for indoor and outdoor installations, including damp areas, but it is not designed for permanent submersion in water.

Is it possible to adjust the color temperature of the white?

Yes, the LUX SL180 LED strip allows adjustment of the white color temperature from 2700 K (warm white) to 6500 K (cool white), providing great flexibility to create different lighting moods.

Are the individual LED points visible on this LED strip?

No, the LUX SL180 LED strip has a diffuser with no visible hotspots, ensuring uniform and continuous light diffusion.

Can the LUX SL180 LED strip be installed outdoors?

Yes, the LUX SL180 LED light strip is designed for outdoor installation thanks to its IP68 protection rating and UV-resistant material. However, it is recommended not to install it in areas exposed to direct strong sunlight.

What is the input voltage range for this LED strip?

The LUX SL180 LED strip requires an input voltage of 23 to 25 V to operate. This power is supplied by the Lumishore LUX LED strip driver module, which itself can accept a voltage range of 10.5 to 31 VDC from the vessel's power source.

Is the LED strip material UV-resistant?

Yes, the LUX SL180 LED light strip is made from UV-resistant material.

How to install the LUX SL180 LED strip?

Installation of the LUX SL180 LED strip is made easier by a pre-applied 3M adhesive backing. For outdoor installations, wet areas, or tight radii, it is recommended to use mechanical mounting clips in addition to the adhesive.

Is it possible to cut the LED strip to fit a shorter length?

No, the LUX SL180 LED light strip is supplied in predefined, factory-sealed lengths to meet IP68 standards. It is imperative not to cut the light strip, as this would void the warranty and compromise its waterproofing.

What is the minimum bending radius for the LED strip?

The LUX SL180 light strip has a minimum bending radius of 50 mm on the vertical axis only. Do not bend it on the horizontal axis or twist it.

Are there specific recommendations for installation in outdoor or wet environments?

For installations outdoors, in damp areas, or with tight bend radii, it is strongly recommended to use mechanical fasteners (clips) in addition to the 3M adhesive layer to ensure optimal and durable hold. These fasteners should be placed every 25 to 30 cm and/or on each side of a bend.

What precautions should be taken before starting the electrical installation?

Before any installation, always ensure that the vessel's power source and the battery are disconnected or isolated. It is also recommended that a qualified professional performs the electrical and mechanical installation.

Should pressure be applied to the LEDs during installation?

No, do not apply pressure on the LED area during installation. Press only the edges of the light strip to secure it in place.

How long should you wait after installation before turning on the light strip?

It is recommended to let the 3M adhesive cure for 24 hours after installation before powering on the LED strip to ensure optimal and durable adhesion.

Are mounting clips required and how should they be used?

Mounting clips are optional but recommended for outdoor installations, wet areas, or tight bend radii. They can be used in addition to 3M adhesive. For narrow mounting channels, stainless steel metal clips may be provided. To install them, gently open the clips, insert the light strip, then gently tighten them around the strip.

Can I bend the light strip horizontally or twist it?

No, the LED strip must be bent only along the vertical axis, with a minimum radius of 50 mm. It is essential not to bend it along the horizontal axis or twist it, as this could damage the product and void the warranty.

What equipment is required to operate the LUX SL180 light strip?

The LUX SL180 light strip is specifically designed to work with Lumishore LUX light strip modules. It requires a connection to these modules for optimal performance and compatibility.

Is the LUX SL180 light strip compatible with third-party lighting control systems?

No, the LUX SL180 LED strip is designed to be used exclusively with Lumishore LUX LED strip control modules. Connection to other third-party lighting products or controllers is not supported and will void the warranty.
