The MicroStar is ideal both above and below decks for providing effective and ideal levels of
illumination. The MicroStars come in 12 VDC and 24 VDC versions that allows for direct wiring to
the boat's power supply. Due to their small size and rugged waterproof construction, they can be
installed virtually anywhere on the boat.
They can be flush mounted, as is, or installed in various existing fixtures and assemblies. The
MicroStar will fit in 1" OD and larger railing and pulpits.
The MicroStar is ideally suited for marine lighting applications:
- Low power consumption; 20 milli-amps
- Ideal low level lighting; night vision isn't compromised
- No heat generated from LED; safe around plastics
- Long life (up to 100,000 hours)
- Zero maintenance; no bulb replacement or corroded electrical contacts
2000 Pacific Cup Boat - Rage
As part of provisioning and modifying Rage (70 foot Sled) for the 2000 Pacific Cup, MicroStars (Model 100) LED lights were installed above
and below decks . (Click to enlarge image.)

For ease of retrofit, MicroStars were installed in existing dome lights and provided with their own
switches. |
MicroStars were also installed in Loc-Line articulating plastic hose assemblies. |
Installed in Loc-Line and secured to a shroud 5' above the deck. |

Note: After Rage successfully took first in division and third over all in the 2000 Pacific Cup,
Bruce Schwab, co-skipper of Rage, dropped us this note:
"I'm back from the Pacific Cup Race to Hawaii and wanted to drop you a big THANK YOU!
The "Microstar" LED lights we installed aboard "Rage" were a tremendous success. I'm not
exaggerating to say the their extremely low power drain and perfect level of brightness played a
role in our class victory. The "MicroStar" lights are a great product and I am now convinced I want
them in our new Wylie designed "Open 60". Efficient, high quality lighting is often overlooked on
ocean cruising and racing yachts and I wouldn't build a boat without the "MicroStars". Adding them
to Rage was a fantastic idea."
