Lighting doesn't just determine the brightness and darkness of a space; it elevates it. More than just mere functionality for superyachts, lighting sets the onboard ambience, shaping its unique spaces. The correct set-up can work wonders, from setting the mood for a gourmet meal and illuminating sleek exterior lines to complementing interior design features. &nbsp;Understanding the importance of lighting in the yachting sector, the team at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7637" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="LightGraphix (Company)">LightGraphix</a> has over four decades of experience and a solid reputation for delivering high-quality, innovative products.

"Our focus is on creating the best-lit effect and designing products that blend into their surroundings. Over the years, we have developed technologies to enable this; products can be specified with angled optics, tilt lens technology, deep recessed LEDs, glare shields and all glass bezels to sit flush on the surface, resulting in industry-leading glare control and products that fit seamlessly with any yacht style,”comments Buxton. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308146/image/large-5097f0427d3b285e1affde4c69a00c56.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308146">Around 60% of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7637" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="LightGraphix (Company)">LightGraphix</a>'s products have been developed in conjunction with the world's premier lighting designers to achieve the aesthetic elements crucial for designers. Materiality is also paramount. "To guarantee a superior level of finish, we use top marine-grade materials, including stainless steel 316 and apply various additional processes to ensure the highest quality with extra protection against the elements,” adds Buxton.&nbsp;On the practical side, the company has also integrated an anti-wicking barrier into its exterior products, which provides extra protection against water ingress through the cable should they be installed with a non-IP-rated connection, preventing it from reaching a fitting's inner components.&nbsp;Changing demands&nbsp;Over the years, the proliferation of LED technology and innovative lighting solutions has ushered in new designs, enabling increased versatility and customisable requirements. This custom-made component is a fundamental demand in the yachting realm.James Platt, Marine Specification Sales Manager at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7637" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="LightGraphix (Company)">LightGraphix</a>, explains: "While new trends continue to emerge, yacht owners will always have particular requirements.

"We have always repaired products, which is especially useful for refit projects where they want to keep the same cutout. Shipyards also take advantage of our custom design service, where we modify standard products for existing fixtures,” adds Buxton.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308149/image/large-566458841a0532fdd2f6125a4b1bd392.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308149">Switching on sustainability&nbsp;Sustainability was ingrained in L<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7637" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="LightGraphix (Company)">ightGraphix</a>'s ethos long before it became a prominent trend in the superyacht realm. The company consistently seeks more sustainable processes and solutions for its products and addresses any adverse effects associated with manufacturing and implementing lighting. Buxton comments: "Innovating and reducing our environmental impact has always been at the heart of our design philosophy."Manufactured in the UK with the majority of components locally sourced, the company's products represent a commitment to minimising its carbon footprint. However, its sustainable mindset is more than just this; it is about complying with an approach centred on longevity. They develop products engineered to last, boasting industry-leading LED lifetime figures exceeding 90,000 hours.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308145/image/large-aee9c6135efc0c11307359c1ff2349d8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308145">"We always want to avoid the wastefulness of discarding an entire product for any reason, such as if it was wired incorrectly or a designer wanted to change the beam colour or angle," Buxton comments. Further explaining: "So we created a unique system, our Replacement Light Engine (RLE), creating a modular system with the unlimited ability to repair and upgrade the LED fittings at any stage in the lifecycle." The system enables the process of renewing lighting solutions onboard with minimal waste. Aside from its robust sustainability credentials, this system also gives rise to flexibility, altering a lit effect as desired post-build.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308147/image/large-5ef495c94ec4a88430077d66418bd7e8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308147">Today, they are the first manufacturer to implement this circular lighting solution, in an exterior range of products, which culminated in three years of rigorous testing and development to ensure flawless operation.

A group of 16 leading boat manufacturers and eight industry associations have come together to develop the first-ever environmental footprint methodology for recreational boats under 24 metres.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308823/image/large-7f755a2c28b948b5137b3cb872f411d2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308823">Tackling climate change and minimising environmental impact a is a significant challenge for the yachting industry. The industry is committed to addressing emissions across the entire lifecycle, however this is only possible with a unified approach.Developed under the umbrella of the European Boating Industry (EBI), the project will be backed up by a database and assessment tool, to allow small and large manufacturers to access the green transition.Among those involved with the project include, Amel Yachts, Amer Yachts, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6046" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut-Benetti Group (Company)">Azimut|Benetti Group</a>, Bavaria Yachts, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7047" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Beneteau (Company)">Beneteau Group</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7265" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantiere Del Pardo (Company)">Cantiere del Pardo</a>, Catana Group, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4876" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Group (Company)">Ferretti Group</a>, Fountaine Pajot, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6194" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Grand Large Yachting (Company)">Grand Large Yachting</a>, Greenline, Inha Works, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a>, Sasga, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sunreef Yachts (Company)">Sunreef</a>, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sunseeker (Company)">Sunseeker</a>.The environmental sustainability consultancy Quantis has been chosen as technical partner for the project, with ICOMIA, the International Council of Marine Industry Associations, acting as a strategic partner of the project to ensure global alignment.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308818/image/large-e1d9f5e94b0e65abeb83a659c96ef5a4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308818">“This is a unique and highly welcome cooperation,” explained Robert Marx, President of EBI. “For the first time, competing manufacturers are committed to jointly addressing the sustainability challenge.”The project will be conducted in two phases, first focusing on developing a science-based and transparent environmental footprint methodology to harmonise calculation rules. In the second phase, the focus will be on implementing this with a comprehensive materials database and user-friendly calculation tool.&nbsp;This will allow manufacturers to conduct eco-design and comprehensively reduce environmental impact, as well as communicate the environmental footprint to consumers, stakeholders and regulators. The project hopes to eventually go beyond carbon emissions and include other critical environmental indicators.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308824/image/large-13ce8e821b3be7401b58db04e363f78a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308824">“The outcomes will allow companies of all sizes to access the green transition without greenwashing, reduce environmental impact and proactively shape the regulatory approach in Europe and globally,” added Robert Marx.This combined effort will allow the yachting industry to comply with the latest EU environmental legislation and be ahead of the regulatory curve.
