Lumishore TIX403 EOS 2-Light Underwater Kit with Lumi-Link
Lumishore TIX403 EOS 2-Light Underwater Kit with Lumi-Link — Product description
Lumishore's TIX403-EOS underwater light kit. Two flush-fit thru-hull color-change LED lights with internal drivers (no external driver box), 4,000 fixture lumens and 110-degree beam each, paired with the Lumi-Link Command Center, the STV 2204i 3.5-inch color display, the EOS i-Connect Hub, and a 5-meter DMX cable. A complete plug-and-go installation for transom, side hull, or bottom mounting.
This is Lumishore's TIX403-EOS underwater light kit in the two-light configuration with the complete Lumi-Link control system. The kit ships ready to install: two TIX403 flush-fit thru-hull color-change LEDs, the Lumi-Link Command Center, the STV 2204i 3.5-inch Lumi-Link color display, the EOS i-Connect Hub, and a 5-meter DMX cable. The TIX series lights have internal drivers (no separate driver box mounted inside the boat), and they can be serviced from inside the hull without hauling the vessel, which is the install-side selling point that separates them from external-driver lights.
Each TIX403 puts out 4,000 fixture lumens (9,000 raw lumens at the LED) through a wide 110-degree beam. The LED mix is engineered for full-spectrum color: 12 white LEDs, 12 blue, 12 green, and 16 red. The color mix matters because what looks like a beautiful blue glow at the marina can turn lifeless in murky water, while a richer mix with strong green and red components produces deeper saturated colors that show through algae and sediment. The 110-degree beam pattern spreads the light wide enough that two TIX403s cover a typical 30-50 ft transom comfortably, with overlap that eliminates dark spots between the two beams.
The Lumi-Link control system is the part that turns underwater lights from a single-color decoration into an actual entertainment system. The Lumi-Link Command Center is the network hub, sized to run multiple lights, multiple zones, and multiple control surfaces. The STV 2204i 3.5-inch full-color display is the dedicated control panel at the helm or in the cockpit, with intuitive color-wheel, preset, scene, and sound-to-music interfaces. The EOS i-Connect Hub is the wireless interface that lets the system pair with smartphones over Wi-Fi for control from anywhere on the boat (and from the dock, when you're back at the marina and want to fire up the lights from the boarding ladder). Sound-to-music mode synchronizes the lights to the boat's audio system, which is the feature that makes the lights actually a focal point of evenings on the water.
Color control covers every realistic use case. Twelve preset color scenes for one-tap mood setting (warm white, blue, green, scenic blue-fade, party color-sweep). Infinite color choice via a color wheel on the display or app for exact custom shades. Color Sweep mode that cycles through hues at a configurable speed. Color Scene for static custom colors. DMX control for installations integrating the lights into a broader entertainment system. Sound-to-Music mode for audio-synchronized light shows.
The TIX403 housings are flush-fit thru-hull fittings with a 0.33-inch profile above the hull, which is low enough to avoid hydrodynamic drag at speed and not interfere with the boat's hydrofoil characteristics. Through-hull cut-out is 2.25 inches for the shaft, with a maximum hull thickness of 5.35 inches (shaft length). External light diameter is 3.47 inches. These dimensions cover virtually any recreational hull (fiberglass, aluminum, composite, even most steel).
Mounting is flush-fit for transom (the most common location), side hull (for sailing yachts and motor yachts where transom lights aren't practical), and bottom mounting (for boats hauled often where the transom is hard to reach). The Lumishore install pattern is widely documented, and the lights ship with installation hardware, gasket, and through-hull fitting hardware.
The TIX architecture's defining advantage is internal-driver serviceability. External-driver lights require pulling the boat to access the external driver box if anything goes wrong. The TIX403's internal driver lives inside the light fixture itself, which means service and replacement can be done from inside the hull (typically through an access panel near the transom) without hauling. For owners who keep their boats in the water through the season, this is a significant operational cost saver versus competing external-driver systems.
Power supply is 12V or 24V DC, with the internal driver handling whichever the boat's house bank provides. Current draw per light is moderate, the kit is sized to run on a typical recreational house bank without dedicated underwater-light circuits. Three-year limited warranty on the lights and the control electronics.

Frequently asked questions
What's in the kit?
Two TIX403-EOS color-change underwater lights, the Lumi-Link Command Center, the STV 2204i 3.5-inch Lumi-Link Display, the EOS i-Connect Hub, a 5-meter DMX cable, installation hardware (through-hull fitting, gasket, mounting screws), and the documentation pack.
What's the difference between TIX and THX series?
TIX has an internal driver (the driver electronics are inside the light fixture). THX has an external driver mounted separately inside the boat. The TIX advantage is serviceability from inside the hull without hauling. The THX advantage is slightly lower per-light cost. For boats kept in the water through the season, TIX is typically the right choice.
How wide is the beam pattern?
110 degrees per light. Two TIX403s mounted on a typical transom give overlapping coverage that eliminates dark spots between the beams, suitable for transoms up to about 30-50 feet wide depending on hull shape.
Why a custom LED mix instead of just RGB?
The 12 white + 12 blue + 12 green + 16 red LED mix is engineered for full-spectrum color rendering in marine water. Pure RGB looks great at the marina but produces washed-out color in murky water. The dedicated white LEDs and the higher count of red LEDs deliver richer saturated colors that show through algae and sediment.
What's the Lumi-Link control system?
Lumishore's network architecture for controlling multiple lights, zones, and control surfaces from a single system. The Lumi-Link Command Center is the hub. The STV 2204i is the dedicated 3.5-inch color display at the helm or cockpit. The EOS i-Connect Hub adds wireless control via the Lumishore mobile app over Wi-Fi.
Can I control the lights from my phone?
Yes, via the EOS i-Connect Hub included in the kit. Pair your phone or tablet to the hub's Wi-Fi network and the Lumishore app gives full control of color, scenes, sweeps, and sound-to-music modes from anywhere on the boat or from the dock.
What's Sound-to-Music mode?
The lights synchronize to your boat's audio output. The system samples the music in real time and modulates the lights to match the beat and the tonal characteristics of the audio, which turns the underwater lights from a static color into a focal point that responds to whatever's playing.
Can I integrate with my chartplotter?
Yes, the Lumi-Link system supports control from compatible multifunction display brands that have integrated Lumishore control. The MFD shows the same color-wheel, preset, and scene controls as the STV 2204i display, which lets owners who already have a chartplotter at the helm avoid adding the STV 2204i if they prefer. Check the Lumishore website for the current list of compatible chartplotter models.
What's the maximum hull thickness?
5.35 inches measured at the cut-out location. The through-hull fitting shaft length is 5.35 inches. For thicker hulls, contact Lumishore for extended-shaft variants. Most recreational boat transoms fall well within the 5.35-inch envelope.
What size cut-out do I need?
2.25 inches diameter for the shaft. The external diameter at the hull surface is 3.47 inches. The light sits flush at 0.33 inches above the hull, which is low enough to avoid hydrodynamic drag at planing speed.
Does it work on a 24V house bank?
Yes. The internal driver auto-detects 12V or 24V input, so the lights work on either house-bank voltage without owner intervention. For larger yachts with 24V systems, no separate converter or voltage adapter is needed.
How is service different from external-driver lights?
If a TIX403 fails or needs service, the entire fixture (including the driver) is replaceable from inside the hull, typically through an access panel near the transom or wherever the light is mounted. External-driver systems require pulling the boat to access the external driver box. The TIX series saves the cost and downtime of a haul-out when service is needed.
