Detailed description

Designed for on-board ambient lighting, the Garmin LUX SL180 strip light provides a full-spectrum CRGBW (cool white, red, green, blue, warm white) lighting solution, with a length of 1300 mm. This strip light is suitable for interior and exterior installation above the waterline. It also features tunable white, allowing the color temperature of the white to be adjusted from 2700K to 6500K within the same luminaire, providing versatility to create various lighting moods.

Design and Technical Specifications

The LUX SL180 has a density of 180 CRGBW LEDs per meter and is not designed to be cut. The technical documentation explicitly states 'DO NOT CUT STRIP LIGHT'. Its encapsulated and potted design ensures even light diffusion. With an IP68 rating, it is resistant to dust and water, making it suitable for damp areas, though not designed for permanent submersion. Made from UV-resistant materials and tested for salt spray, it maintains performance in a marine environment. It has an average power consumption of 5 W/m and operates on an input voltage range of 23 to 25V, requiring a Lumishore LUX strip light driver module.

Integration and Positioning

The LUX SL180 strip light is part of the Lumishore marine lighting range, now integrated into Garmin, offering sophisticated lighting solutions for vessels. Unlike basic LED lighting solutions, the SL180 provides advanced color and white temperature management, positioning it as a choice for installations requiring precise control and refined aesthetics. Its installation flexibility and low profile of 14.5 mm in width allow discreet integration into coamings, under furniture, or behind panels. It can be controlled via a momentary switch, with options for full integration with compatible multifunction displays (MFD), Lumishore displays, or smart devices via the EOS-LUX control center and the strip light driver. This integration capability sets it apart from standalone strip lights, placing it in the category of connected lighting systems.

Expert opinion

« Technical analysis of the Garmin LUX SL180 CRGBW LED strip light »

The Garmin LUX SL180 LED strip represents a sophisticated supplementary lighting solution for interior and exterior fittings on vessels. Its key feature is its CRGBW capability and tunable white (2700K to 6500K), providing significant chromatic flexibility for onboard ambiance. The most critical aspect of installation is strict dependency on the Lumishore LUX LED strip driver module. Without this driver, the strip will not function and the warranty will be void. This necessitates careful planning of the electrical system to include this specific driver.

For mechanical installation, although the strip comes with 3M adhesive, the use of mechanical fasteners (supplied clips or optional stainless steel) is strongly recommended, particularly in wet areas, outdoor installations, or tight radii. It is essential to respect the minimum 50mm bending radius on the vertical axis and never twist or bend the strip on the horizontal axis to avoid damaging the LEDs. For lengths over 1 meter, installation by two people is advised to handle the strip without twisting or bending. The LUX SL180 LED strip is not designed to be cut. The technical documentation explicitly states 'DO NOT CUT STRIP LIGHT'. This product is ideal for sailboat and pleasure craft owners seeking an integrated, customizable lighting solution managed via the Garmin/Lumishore ecosystem, rather than a simple decorative LED strip.

What is the average power consumption of the LED strip?

The average power consumption of the LUX SL180 light strip is 5 W/m.

Can I bend the LED strip to fit the contours of my boat?

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

How to install the LED strip on a surface?

The light strip can be installed using its integrated 3M adhesive strip. It is recommended to thoroughly clean the mounting surface with IPA, then remove the adhesive protective film and press the light strip firmly into place by pressing only on the edges. Allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours before turning on the light strip.

Is it recommended to use additional fastenings for the installation?

For outdoor installations in wet areas or with tight bend radii, it is recommended to use mechanical fasteners in addition to the adhesive layer. These fasteners should be spaced 25 to 30 cm apart or placed on either side of a bend.

Can the light strip be installed in areas highly exposed to sunlight?

Although the LED strip is made from UV-resistant materials, it must not be installed in areas exposed to direct strong sunlight.

What is the LED density per meter on this LED strip?

The LUX SL180 features a density of 180 CRGBW LEDs per meter.

Is the LED light strip designed to be submerged in water?

No, although the light strip is sealed and can be installed in wet areas, it is not designed to be permanently submerged in water.

What is the warranty duration for this product?

Lumishore lighting systems, including lights and associated accessories, are warranted against manufacturing defects for a period of three years from the original purchase date.

Does installing the LED light bar require a professional?

A qualified professional should always perform the electrical and mechanical installation of the LED strip.

What is the function of the "adjustable white"?

The tunable white feature allows varying the color temperature of white light from 2700K (warm white) to 6500K (cool white) within a single luminaire, providing versatility to create different lighting moods.

Are there any special precautions to take when handling the light strip during installation?

Do not let the strip fall or twist during installation; unroll it carefully from the reel. Do not apply pressure on the strip at the LED level; press only on the edge of the strip. Do not pull, stretch, twist, or bend the strip on the horizontal axis. For lengths over 1 meter, always use two people for installation. Always lay the strip flat in a straight line.

Does using a third-party autopilot void the warranty?

Yes, using the LUX strip light with third-party autopilots will void the warranty. It is designed to operate only with the Lumishore LUX Strip Light Driver module.
