All of the company's lights, from the 1 Series to the 6 Series, employ the upgrades. GEN II is more than just improvements to the exclusive one-piece housing, which still retains the exclusive ability to service and upgrade lights without haul-out costs for boaters.
"One of our core focuses is to continually develop our product range to the highest level," said Aqualuma president Carl Amor. "With Gen II we have taken the Aqualuma product range to new heights."
"Like the company's original range, GEN II continues to offer market-leading advantages over traditional lighting systems and also other LED products," he said.
Aqualuma has retained the exclusive one-piece housing manufactured from a specially formulated polymer with a tint for higher clarity. This new formula is even stronger than the original GEN I housing. Resistant to all chemicals, it allows the GEN II Lights to be fitted with any sealant, eliminating the need for a specific sealer.
