Lumishore ECLIPSE SL100 5m White LED Strip Light

The Lumishore ECLIPSE SL100 5m White Strip Light is a clean, practical way to add hidden accent and courtesy lighting to your boat. This is flexible strip lighting built to vanish into the boat: run it along gunwales, under furniture, behind ceiling panels, or into trim recesses, and all you see is a smooth, even wash of white light with no visible fixture. It's a simple upgrade that makes a boat look finished and, just as importantly, makes it easier and safer to move around after dark.

This is the single-color white version, tuned to a crisp 5000K. That color temperature is the sweet spot for marine accent and task lighting: bright and clean enough to actually see by, but not the harsh blue-white you get from cheaper strips. It works beautifully as low-level courtesy lighting for steps and walkways, as a gentle wash across a cabin headliner, or as practical light around a galley or cockpit when you need to find something without flooding the whole space. With 60 white LEDs in every meter, the output stays bright and consistent from one end of the run to the other.

At 5 meters, this is the longest size in the SL100 family, giving you plenty of strip for a large layout or several separate runs from a single product. Because the ECLIPSE strip is cut-to-length, you tailor it to your boat instead of forcing your boat to fit the strip. Trim it to the exact run you need, seal the cut end before installation as directed, and it's ready. The simple two-wire electrical connection makes the whole job genuinely plug-and-play.

Where this strip pulls ahead of ordinary accent lighting is its construction. Lumishore fully encapsulates and pots the ECLIPSE strip, sealing the LEDs and circuitry inside a solid, water-resistant body rated to IP68. That's what lets it live on a boat and keep working through damp, spray, and salt air instead of failing early. The low-profile cross section measures just 10.8mm by 5.2mm, roughly 0.425 inch by 0.204 inch, so it slides into tight channels and recesses where a bulkier fixture simply wouldn't go.

It's easy on your electrical system too. The strip runs on 12V DC only, within a 10 to 15V DC window, and draws just 0.5A per meter, about 6W per meter. Even a long run won't put much of a dent in your battery reserve. For control, wire it to a simple on/off switch for a no-fuss setup, or connect it to the ECLIPSE Command Center when you want smarter switching alongside the rest of your Lumishore lighting.

Once you've got 5 meters of hidden white light to work with, the applications add up quickly. Light a companionway or cockpit step so guests keep their footing, wash a cabin ceiling for a soft evening glow, brighten a galley counter, or outline seating and storage so nothing gets lost in the dark. Because it's low-profile and fully sealed, you can put it in spots that see damp and spray without a second thought.

A little planning goes a long way with a strip this long. With 5 meters in hand, you can light a full cockpit perimeter, run both sides of a walkway, or divide the strip into shorter sections for separate areas on their own switches. Keep it tucked into a shaded channel or under a lip so you see the light and not the LEDs themselves, seal each cut end carefully, and route the wiring back to a switched 12V feed. That care up front is what makes the finished job look built-in rather than added on later.

Lumishore backs the ECLIPSE SL100 with a 3-year warranty, and the fully potted IP68 build is made to earn it. If you want clean, hidden, single-color white accent lighting that installs simply and stands up to the marine environment, this 5m white strip is a dependable, flexible way to light your boat exactly where you want it.
