Marine lighting apparatus and methods

摘要

A marine lighting apparatus includes a decking material, a frame supporting the decking material, and a substantially sealed light device attached to a source of electrical power. At least a portion of the frame is located above water. The substantially sealed light device is attached to at least one of the frame and the decking material at a position below the decking material. A method for locating a mooring position in a marina includes sending a code, or a waypoint for locating the rented mooring position to a device of a mooring position user. The code is sent from the device of the mooring position user when the user is in the proximity of the mooring position. A waypoint may be entered into a gps to locate the slip. A unique vessel identifier broadcast from a vessel can also be used to enable a mooring position locator.

主权项

1. A marine lighting apparatus, comprising:
a decking material; a frame supporting the decking material, at least a portion of the frame generally above water, the decking and frame forming a portion of a mooring position; a source of electrical power; a substantially sealed light device attached to the source of electrical power, and the substantially sealed light device attached to at least one of the frame and the decking material at a position below the decking material; and a controller, adapted to at least receive a remote signal and affect the output of the light device; wherein when a remote signal associated with a marine vessel is generated, the light device is capable of both visually indicating a mooring or slip position and substantially illuminating the mooring or slip position below the decking material.
