Lumishore ECLIPSE SL100 5m Blue LED Strip Light

The Lumishore ECLIPSE SL100 5m Blue Strip Light is a simple, elegant way to add that classic blue marine glow to your boat, with none of the source in view. This is flexible strip lighting made to disappear into the boat: run it along gunwales, under furniture, behind ceiling panels, or into trim recesses, and all anyone sees is a soft, even wash of blue light. It's the kind of touch that instantly makes a boat feel more finished and more inviting after dark.

This is the single-color blue version, and that focus is its strength. Blue is the go-to accent color for boaters because it's calm, easy on the eyes, and won't wreck your night vision the way bright white can. It's ideal for setting a relaxed mood at anchor, adding a subtle glow to a cockpit while you're entertaining, or gently marking the layout of the deck on a quiet night run. With 60 blue LEDs packed into every meter, the color stays bright and consistent all the way down the strip instead of looking dim or spotty.

At 5 meters, this is the longest size Lumishore offers in the SL100 line, so you've got plenty of strip for a large boat or several separate runs from one product. And because the ECLIPSE strip is cut-to-length, you shape it to your boat rather than the other way around. Trim it to the exact run you need, seal the cut end before installation as directed, and it's ready to go. The two-wire electrical connection keeps the whole job simple and genuinely plug-and-play.

What really sets this strip apart from generic accent lighting is how it's built. Lumishore fully encapsulates and pots the ECLIPSE strip, sealing the LEDs and circuitry inside a solid, water-resistant body rated to IP68. That's the difference between a strip that survives years on a boat and one that quits the first time it gets splashed. The low-profile build slips neatly into tight channels and recesses, so you can hide it in places a bulkier fixture would never fit.

Running it is easy on your electrical system. The strip operates on 12V DC only, within a 10 to 15V DC window, and pulls just 0.5A per meter, roughly 6W per meter. That low draw means even a long run won't tax your batteries. For control, you can wire it to a simple on/off switch, or connect it to the ECLIPSE Command Center when you want smarter switching alongside the rest of your Lumishore lighting.

The uses are almost endless once you've got 5 meters of hidden blue to play with. Line the underside of a gunwale for a glow along the waterline, light a companionway or cockpit step for safe footing, wash a cabin ceiling for evening ambience, or outline seating and cupholders so guests can find their way around. Because it's low-profile and fully sealed, you can put it in spots that see spray and damp without worrying about it.

Take a little time planning the run and the payoff is a boat that looks properly finished. With 5 meters to work with, you can light an entire cockpit perimeter, run both gunwales, or break the strip into shorter sections for separate zones. Keep it tucked into a shaded channel or under a lip so you see the glow and not the LEDs, seal each cut end carefully, and route your wiring back to a switched 12V feed. That bit of care up front is the difference between lighting that looks built-in and lighting that looks stuck on.

Lumishore stands behind the ECLIPSE SL100 with a 3-year warranty, and the fully potted IP68 construction is built to back that up. If you want a clean, hidden, single-color blue accent that installs simply and holds up to the marine environment, this 5m blue strip is a reliable, flexible way to light your boat exactly the way you want.
