Illuminating Generations of Lobstering Excellence
Built to last decades — a genuine investment in your vessel, your safety, and your lobstering legacy
Lobstering isn't just a job—it's a calling passed down through generations and a profound connection to the water.
At DuraBrite, we understand this heritage because we share your values. Our marine lighting systems aren't just products.
This daily ritual, repeated thousands of times throughout your career, shouldn't be compromised by inadequate lighting that fails when you need it most. With DuraBrite lighting systems, you're investing in:
Just as no two lobster operations are identical, not all marine lighting is created equal. If you're using standard marine lights or budget LED light bars, you're likely discovering the high cost of low-priced equipment:

Design my setupAt DuraBrite, we reject the disposable mentality that dominates today's electronics industry. While big-name brands design products with planned obsolescence to keep you in an endless buying cycle, we build our lights with a fundamentally different philosophy:
Our sustainability commitmentOur lighting systems are designed from the ground up to provide decades of reliable service in the harshest marine environments. This isn't just good for your operation—it's essential for our planet.
Unlike sealed, disposable lighting products, DuraBrite systems feature a modular, repairable design. If a component ever needs service after years of hard use, repairs can be made without replacing the entire system—saving you money while reducing electronic waste.
When we develop new technologies and improvements, we design them to be compatible with our existing systems whenever possible. This means you can upgrade and enhance your lighting rather than discard perfectly functional equipment.
We engineer our systems with headroom—additional capacity and capabilities that may exceed today's needs but ensure our products remain relevant as requirements evolve over the coming decades.
DuraBrite lighting systems aren't just superior performers—they deliver significant financial benefits over their lifetime that contribute directly to your bottom line:
While standard marine lights typically require replacement every 2-3 seasons, DuraBrite systems are engineered for 50,000+ hours of operation—equivalent to over 20 years of typical use.
Our comprehensive 10-year warranty, and Lifetime Warranty if installed by a Certified Installer, provides peace of mind and protection for your investment—something unheard of in the marine lighting industry, where 1-5 year warranties are standard.
Equipment failures don't just cost money to repair—they cost operating time and catch. DuraBrite's reliability means you'll spend more time hauling and less time troubleshooting or waiting for replacements.
Our advanced LED technology and optimized power systems draw significantly less amperage than competitive lighting—up to 40% less power consumption. For offshore vessels where generator fuel costs add up quickly over a season, these efficiency gains translate to thousands in fuel savings
Begin hauling as soon as the sea is calm and the tide is perfect to venture out, potentially adding hundreds of productive hours to your season. When you're hauling thousands of pounds per trip, these additional hours can significantly impact your annual income.
Lower power draw means longer battery life, perfect for long offshore trips with minimal generator use.
Proper illumination of your working deck and surroundings significantly reduces the risk of injuries and accidents that can lead to medical costs, insurance claims, and lost fishing time.
Clearly seeing navigation hazards prevents costly collisions and damage that can sideline your vessel for expensive repairs. Many customers report avoiding multiple potential accidents each season thanks to superior illumination.
Better lighting helps meet safety standards and avoid violations during inspections or Coast Guard checks.

Our research conducted alongside commercial fishing captains identified the ideal color temperature range for different offshore conditions, whether it’s white, amber, or red. This fine- tuned spectrum ensures maximum visibility without the eye strain and fatigue that comes from poorly designed lighting.
Standard marine lights lose effectiveness in fog, rain, and snow. DuraBrite's specialized optics and precise beam control cut through these conditions, maintaining visibility when others are forced to stay at the dock
Unlike general marine lighting, our offshore- specific optics produce precisely engineered beam patterns that maximize visibility while minimizing blinding glare or simply eliminated with the use of the Glare Shields. The result is superior illumination exactly where you need it—whether you're navigating through fog or working your deck in pre-dawn hours.
DuraBrite systems utilize the same materials found in naval vessels and military aircraft, ensuring flawless performance in the harshest conditions. Our proprietary sealing technology and corrosion-resistant construction withstand years of saltwater exposure without degradation.
