Model 03 · Surface-mount underwater light

Refined light, made for life on the water.

Make the water part of the yacht.

Model 03 gives the water behind the transom a presence of its own. An extension of the deck rather than the dark beyond it. A shaped field of light and color that turns an anchorage into somewhere you want to stay longer.

Model 03

Our signature surface-mount light, precision-machined from solid 904L stainless steel. Remarkably slim, exceptionally powerful, and available in four expressions of light, including full RGBW color.

Sparkling White·7,700 lm

Power is only useful when it is properly shaped. Model 03 forms its light into a precise 90° × 30° field, creating a lavish, vivid presence around the hull.

Reimagined after dark.

Model 03 gives the yacht a new presence after sunset, carrying its design into the water and turning the space around it into part of the experience.

904L Stainless Steel

Made for the extreme.

Model 03 is machined from a solid block of 904L stainless steel — a rare, high-performance alloy used in fine watchmaking, aerospace and the most demanding marine applications. CNC-finished to exceptional precision and meticulously sealed, the housing achieves certified IP68 protection to 15 meters, all within a profile just 23 mm thick.

Rich, vivid colors.

A 32-bit color engine renders 4.2 billion hues — from one soothing shade to a moving color show, set by switch or from the app. The white and blue versions use a specific wavelength for deeper penetration.

No-loss proprietary lenses.

The precision YPHOS lens reshapes the output into a 90° × 30° beam — wide across the hull, tight top to bottom and mildly tilted, so the light drives deep into the water instead of escaping upward.

Fishing assist mode.

A preset that draws schools of fish in from a distance through a carefully designed strobe pattern — enabled from the RF remote, a hub or the app.

Superb brightness.

7,700 fixture lumens — 8,200 in RGBW — from high-power LEDs, enough to light the water around medium and larger boats no matter how dark the night.

Embedded intelligence.

An on-board processor and a network of sensors manage performance in real time — active thermal protection in 256 levels, flicker-free internal drivers and EMC-certified electronics.

Underwater lighting is a discipline of its own. Heat, salt water, confined spaces and sensitive onboard electronics place demands on a fixture that ordinary lighting systems never encounter. That is why we engineer our electronics in-house. Since 2007, we have been developing technology specifically for underwater lighting. The result is not simply a brighter light. It is an entire ecosystem with fixtures engineered as complete systems.

Built-in Drivers — high performance, high frequency, flicker-free and embedded drivers inside the fixture.

Active Thermal Control in 256 gradual levels. Model 03 constantly adapts its power to provide optimum lighting and prevent overheating.

EMC Certified and lab-tested to make sure that it doesn’t interfere with critical navigation or safety systems of your boat.

Soft Start-Up — the lights fade in smoothly. Impressive, but it also prevents inrush current, protecting your electrical circuit & battery.

For nights with nowhere else to be.

Engineered for good times.

Because the best lighting is the kind you stop noticing. It simply makes the water more inviting, the evening more atmospheric, and every moment on board feel a little more special.

Some of the best hours on the water arrive after the sun has gone. Switch on, and the sea becomes a resort swimming pool. An evening swim, a long dinner at anchor, and no reason at all to go to bed.

Control

Your whole vessel, from your palm.

Pair the RGBW version with the YPHOS Control app, WiFi Controller or MFD / DMX512 integration — set scenes, sync every fixture and dim the water to the mood of the night. Single-color versions run from a simple switch.

Integration

Controlled from the helm.

The MFD Interface (YHB-MFDi) puts the lights on your chartplotter — up to five zones, saved scenes and digital switching, with no extra panel to find room for. Available on the RGBW version.

Origin
