Lumishore Eclipse SL100 1m White LED Strip Light

The Lumishore Eclipse SL100 1m White Strip Light is the easy way to add clean, functional light to a boat without a bulky fixture in sight. Tuck it along a gunwale, under the helm, behind a ceiling panel, or beneath cabin furniture, and you get a crisp white glow with the source hidden from view. It's decorative when you want mood and genuinely useful when you need to see a step or a locker in the dark.

This version runs a clean 5000K white, which reads as a bright, neutral daylight tone rather than a warm yellow. That color temperature is a favorite for work areas and walkways because it renders surfaces honestly and makes it easy to find gear or read a label at night. With 60 white LEDs packed into every meter, the light is even and continuous, so you won't see hot spots or dark gaps down the length of the strip.

Lumishore builds the Eclipse range for salt water, and the construction reflects that. The strip is fully encapsulated and potted, sealing the LEDs and wiring inside a flexible waterproof body. That earns it an IP68 ingress protection rating, so spray, deck wash-downs, and short submersion aren't a problem. The strip measures a slim 10.8mm by 5.2mm in cross section, so it slides into tight channels and recesses where a rigid light bar simply wouldn't fit.

Installation stays simple. The Eclipse SL100 is plug and play with a two-wire electrical connection, so you don't need a marine electrician to get it lit. It's cut-to-length as well, which is the feature boaters love. If your run is shorter than a full meter, trim the strip at the marked cut point and seal the cut end before installation. Do that properly and the IP68 rating carries through to your exact custom length. That's what makes it so adaptable across different boats and mounting spots.

Power draw is light. The strip pulls about 0.5A per meter, roughly 6 watts per meter, so you can run several sections without stressing the house battery on a long evening at the dock or on the hook. It works from a 12V DC supply and handles the usual 10 to 15 volt range as batteries charge and discharge, so the light stays steady whether you're plugged into shore power or running off the bank.

You've got options for control too. Wire it to a basic on/off switch for instant white light, or connect it to the Eclipse Command Center to bring it into a larger Lumishore lighting setup with more integrated control across the boat. The strip itself doesn't ask for anything special once it's mounted and wired.

White accent lighting earns its keep in the practical spots. Think steps, swim platforms, storage lockers, galley counters, and helm surrounds where you actually need to see what you're doing. It also gives a cabin a clean, modern look at night without the glare of an overhead dome light. Because the strip is fully potted and cut-to-length, it shrugs off the vibration, moisture, and flex that come with life on the water far better than generic strip lighting.

Lumishore backs the Eclipse SL100 with a 3-year warranty, so you're covered well past the first season. If you're refreshing your onboard lighting and you want a crisp, hidden white glow that installs in an afternoon, this 1-meter Eclipse strip is a smart, low-fuss choice. Grab a couple and light the whole cockpit the way you want it.

Little details make the Eclipse SL100 easy to live with. The flexible potted body follows gentle curves, so it hugs a rounded gunwale or the underside of a coaming without fighting you during the install. Because the whole strip is sealed, there are no exposed solder points to corrode over a season of salt air, which is where cheaper lighting tends to fail first. Run it with tinned marine wire and a properly rated switch, and you've got a clean white accent light that should keep working season after season without fuss.
