New products: Chartplotter Integrates Shadow-Caster Lighting Control

Shadow Caster

Shadow-Caster has partnered with Johnson Outdoors to integrate its state-of-the-art Light Commander PLUS lighting controller into Humminbird® APEX™ Series GPS chartplotters and SOLIX fish finders. Humminbird users now gain convenient fingertip control over their vessel’s interior, exterior and/or navigation lighting.

July 12, 2023

The Light Commander PLUS controls up to six separate lighting zones and can be expanded to accommodate an additional 12. Users can create a library of presets for specific angling scenarios, nav-only nighttime running, wind-down ambient mood lighting or music sync. Depending on the lamp, the controller adjusts for color, brightness and fade. A video is at www.bit.ly/LightCommanderPLUS.

Integrating the device is as simple as connecting the Shadow-Caster Light Commander PLUS into the chartplotter or fishfinder using Humminbird’s optional 10′ L AS EC CHART – PC Networking Cable.

The IP67-rated lighting controller is compact at only 8.9″ L x 4.75″ W x 1.8″ H. Because it’s a true plug-and-play component, installation is fast and easy for both OEMs and DIYers.

Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
