Navigation and anchor light fitting in Brighton — LED upgrades and COLREG-compliant solutions. Covering Brighton Marina and surrounding berths.
Brighton sits within East Sussex, and as one of the South Coast's busiest marinas, Brighton Marina is home to hundreds of boats requiring experienced electrical care. Our team routinely works at Brighton Marina providing issue finding, rewiring, battery upgrades and full electrics refits for yachts and motorboats of all sizes. We've worked through it long enough to know what matters.
