Garmin Spectra™ LED control module

Aug 22, 2024

Garmin is excited to announce the Garmin Spectra™ LED control module—a compact lighting controller that makes it easy to control onboard LED lights from a compatible Garmin chartplotter or the ActiveCaptain® app on a compatible smartphone.

Garmin Spectra lets boaters control LED illumination for JL Audio and Fusion® marine speakers, subwoofers and wake tower speakers, along with strip, courtesy, underwater, cup holder lights and more. When paired with a Fusion Apollo™ marine stereo, users can also control scene selection and LED effects directly from the stereo. Simple to setup and install via the NMEA 2000® network, the new control module seamlessly integrates with existing lights on the boat, and because of its compact design, can be installed in tight spaces. Garmin Spectra has a suggested retail price of $249.99 USD for the three-output model (LC302) and $149.99 USD for the single-output model (LC102).

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
