Method and apparatus for marine-based lighting mechanisms

摘要

A method and apparatus for incorporating lighting fixtures (e.g., Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting fixtures) within other non-lighting components, or their mounting structures, already mounted to a watercraft. A mounting bracket that may be used to mount the non-lighting component to the watercraft may be modified to include a mounting bracket for the LED lighting device. The light fixture may be incorporated into the non-lighting component mount without utilizing any extra surface area on the watercraft itself.
