MARINE LED SPEAKER RINGS
Independent Design Project
My boat did not come equipped with interior lighting which made maneuvering inside the boat difficult at night. Rather than buying a single white light kit, I decided to add an aesthetic glow to the interior. I also wanted to integrate my lights seamlessly so I built them into the speaker mounts. Current RGB speaker rings on the market are limited because the LED's in a ring must all be the same color at the same time. I chose to incorporate addressable LED's into my design so each LED in a speaker ring can be assigned a different color at the same time. This allowed me to incorporate different lighting patterns and it improved the aesthetics of the interior.
The design consists of a laser cut speaker ring with an LED strip embedded on the inside. The ring is mounted between the fiberglass of the boat and the speaker.
