Boat & Dock Lighting Made Easy & Affordable

If you've ever been on a pleasure boat you can appreciate the tight quarters. Cozy is a euphemism! Every inch of space is engineered for effectiveness. You have odd-shaped cupboards and drawers and nooks and crannies everywhere so there is no wasted space. The boat manufacturers have carefully orchestrated the plumbing and wiring because, once the walls and ceilings are intact, modifications are impossible or at least extremely difficult. If you have been following this blog, you know by now that Wireless Environment listens to its customers! We want to share application success stories so that our audience can find reasonable and affordable lighting solutions. Mr Beams lights are the perfect resolution to lighting challenges on your boat, dock and in your marina.

One of our customers, John, was complaining about the lack of light in the bow of his boat. He had an electrician survey the area to see if it was possible to wire for supplemental lighting and a sound system. The electrician reiterated that the lack of real estate on a boat generally prevents any after-market wiring enhancements. At the customers insistence, the electrician cobbled some wires together and tried his best to camouflage his handiwork, but there was no where to hide the wiring! Consequently, the customer abandoned his project until he found Mr Beams LED lights. With some adhesive, John was able to mount an Anywhere Ceiling Light in the bow of his boat and is extremely satisfied with the results. In addition to a neat installation, he finds that he appreciates the motion sensor lights better than a traditional lighting product. In the dark, as soon as someone enters the bow, the lights activate, providing our customer, his wife or any guests with enough light to make their way to bed, grab a jacket, change clothes--whatever task they are trying to accomplish--safely and easily.

With the success of the Anywhere Ceiling Light, John returned to us (we love that!) to see if we could provide him with light on his dock. He'd finagled lighting using rope lights and a tangle of extension cords. The effects of the rope lights were OK, but the hassle of the cords were unsafe and unsightly. We offered the Step Light, which mounts easily to any surface. The lights are IP44 rated, which means they are able to withstand splashproof environments, including rain. Perfect! John mounted four along his dock. The lights glow at darkness and brighten when they detect motion. The cords are gone and John has been our best advertisement at his marina. (Thank you, John!)

These are the stories that keep us inspired and help us to understand what you want. Customer feedback is one of the most valuable resources we've got--it's free!--and we find that, by reaching out to follow up how our customers are doing, they are more than happy to share their comments with us. We are grateful for our customers and committed to never being too big to care about them.
