As superyacht design continues to evolve, lighting is no longer just a finishing touch - it’s a core element shaping the onboard experience. Whether enhancing aesthetics, defining
ambience, or improving efficiency, precision lighting solutions are now essential.
For over four decades, UK-based lighting manufacturer LightGraphix has been pushing the boundaries of innovation in the marine space by collaborating with some of the world’s
leading lighting and yacht designers. Ultimately, this attention to detail has earned the company a reputation for creating and developing high-performance fittings tailored to
both interior and exterior marine environments.Breaking new ground: The LD1093 family
The company’s latest launch, the LD1093 Family, is a testament to its dedication to design excellence and technical innovation. Comprising the LD1093Z (a trimless “zero” bezel
version) and the LD1093 (with a traditional trimmed bezel), the range introduces a new benchmark for recessed marine downlights.
