Gen2 From DuraBrite: A New Generation of Marine Boat Lighting

DuraBrite’s Gen2 series is a testament to our commitment to innovation in boat lighting. Our latest lineup is designed to offer best-in-class optics, efficiency, and reliability with fully wireless-ready electronics. They deliver a 150% increase in optical output compared to the previous generation while maintaining DuraBrite’s signature low power consumption.

Why We Developed the Gen2 Product Line

The Gen2 Series boat lights from DuraBrite were developed using a customer-driven design philosophy. Rather than simply pushing new products to the market, DuraBrite works closely with customers to identify their distinct challenges and desires. Unlike other lighting companies, we are power electronics engineers by trade—meaning we can design far more than just lights.

Our electronics expertise shines in our new waterproof key fob and control box designed for the Gen2 series. The key fob gives you control of your lighting system from up to 500 feet away, while the control box eliminates the guesswork in wiring, making the installation process as intuitive as possible, even for wireless control circuitry.

Another major advancement in the Gen2 series is the inclusion of waterproof in-line connectors and junction boxes, which address a common issue—wiring errors causing water ingress. Most light returns were linked to improper installation, so DuraBrite redesigned the architecture. Every Gen2 light comes with an installation kit that offers built-in protective features. These features improve durability while standardizing and streamlining installation with factory-recommended methods.

This customer-first approach sets DuraBrite apart from competitors who focus solely on pushing products. At DuraBrite, our products are rigorously tailored to customer needs before release, ensuring they truly solve problems and enhance the user experience at every step. The Gen2 series embodies this philosophy, offering reliability, ease of use, and peace of mind for customers.

Here’s a closer look at each of the Gen2 boat lights:

Gen2 Pro

The flagship of the Gen2 series, the Pro model delivers an astounding 75,000 lumens, three times the optical power of the Gen2 Mini, all within a compact housing. This incredible output is achieved through DuraBrite’s pioneering expertise in thermal management and patented LED board technology. The Gen2 Pro offers the equivalent output of three Original Pro units with just two, providing additional penetration power that cuts through darkness and fog.

Gen2 Mini

The Gen2 Mini builds on the success of its predecessor, the Original Mini, offering a significant performance boost while maintaining the same sleek design and compact form. Powered by advanced LED technology and proprietary control and thermal management circuitry, the Gen2 Mini delivers a commanding 25,000 lumens. Its versatile design makes it an ideal solution for a wide range of vessels, from recreational boats to commercial fishing vessels.

Gen2 Nano

The Gen2 Nano is the ultimate deck light, offering unmatched versatility in a compact package. Despite its small size, it delivers an impressive 10,000 lumens, making it perfect for illuminating decks, attracting bait, and providing crucial visibility for fishing and other onboard activities.

Gen2’s Enhanced Control Systems for Unparalleled Safety and Convenience

All Gen2 boat lights are designed to integrate seamlessly with DuraBrite’s wireless control system, which includes the DuraBrite 2-Channel Control Box, the DuraBrite Remote Keyfob, and the DuraBrite Rocker Switch.

  • The Control Box acts as the brain of the lighting system, simplifying power management and ensuring seamless control of up to two DuraBrite lights. It features built-in electronic relays for overload protection and a solid-state electronic breaker with current-limiting capabilities, marking a significant departure from traditional breaker panels, which have become dated technology. With the global shift towards solid-state electronics, even military fleets—from boats to aircraft—are adopting these systems for improved efficiency, reliability, and safety.
  • The Remote Keyfob offers full remote control of the lighting system, including on/off functionality, SOS signaling, and a courtesy mode to illuminate pathways on and off the boat. When the included long-range antenna is installed, the keyfob can reach up to 500 feet, offering both convenience and safety. It’s also designed to float for easier retrieval.
  • The Rocker Switch delivers an additional layer of control, offering a tactile and reliable way to operate the lights. Its momentary, double-throw, triple-position design allows for easy switching between on, off, and SOS modes. The rocker switch also works seamlessly together with the remote keyfob.

Additional Gen2 Features and Functionality

  • Courtesy Mode: The Gen2 lineup’s seamless integration with the wireless keyfob makes for an ideal courtesy lighting setup. Prior to boarding, you can simply press the On button to turn on the lights, ensuring a well-lit path on the dock and when stepping onboard. When preparing to disembark, you can activate courtesy mode, which provides bright illumination for safe exiting and automatically shuts off after a preset countdown. This feature is particularly valuable when the lights are installed facing the aft, offering complete illumination for safer boarding and disembarking.
  • SOS Functionality: The integration of SOS functionality in the Gen2 lineup is a logical evolution of DuraBrite’s commitment to reliability and safety. Together with superior optics and best-in-class engineering, the SOS feature automatically maximizes light output for visibility from miles around your boat while flashing in the SOS Morse code pattern to signal distress. Designed as a core enhancement, the SOS mode reflects DuraBrite’s dedication to modern marine safety standards.
