Garmin Spectra™ LC302 LED Control Module
Garmin Spectra™ LC302 LED Control Module Product Description
Transform Your Boat's Ambiance with Precision LED Control
Picture this: you're out on the water as the sun dips below the horizon, and your boat's lighting shifts seamlessly to match the rhythm of your playlist or the mood of the evening. The Garmin Spectra LC302 steps in as your ultimate lighting conductor, letting you orchestrate custom scenes across cup holders, speaker surrounds, under-gunnel strips, and courtesy areas. Unlike basic switches, this module brings smart, networked control right to your fingertips, elevating every outing from standard to spectacular.
Effortless Group and Scene Management
Divide your vessel into zones—from the bow loungers to the stern party deck—and assign lighting behaviors that fit the moment. Create a serene sunset glow for relaxed anchoring or a vibrant pulse for wakeboarding sessions. With intuitive setup, you define groups and scenes once, then trigger them instantly, saving time and adding that professional touch to your setup.
Seamless Integration with Top Marine Audio Brands
Engineered for synergy, the LC302 works hand-in-glove with Fusion and JL Audio systems. Manage RGB lighting on speakers, subwoofers, and wake tower units effortlessly. Whether you're upgrading an existing audio rig or building from scratch, it slots in without drama.
Build and Expand Without Limits
Start small with a few strips and grow as inspiration strikes. The scalable architecture supports adding more lights via simple connectors, ensuring your system evolves with your boating lifestyle. No need for a full overhaul—just plug in and play.
Engineered for the Harsh Marine Environment
Boats face salt spray, splashes, and vibrations daily, and the LC302 is armored for it. With IP66 and IP67 ratings, it shrugs off submersion and dust, operating reliably from 32°F to 122°F. Compact at about 7.76 x 2.05 x 1.85 inches and weighing just 5.57 ounces, it tucks away discreetly. Plus, it's compass-safe up to 7.87 inches, preserving your navigation accuracy.
Installation is straightforward with included power leads, LED connectors, NMEA drop cables, tees, and mounting hardware. Connect to your backbone, wire the lights, and you're lit in minutes.

Pro Tips for Maximizing Your LC302 Experience
To get the most out of your setup, map out your light zones before wiring—think functionality first, like dimmable courtesy lights for night docking. Test audio sync with various genres to fine-tune responsiveness. For multi-boat owners, note its plug-and-play nature makes it easy to swap between vessels. Regular network checks keep everything humming smoothly season after season.
