RGBW Marine LED Underwater Light for High-Speed Hulls with DMX Control and Color Scroll Effects

The OceanLED Explore E3 is the ideal underwater lighting solution for boat owners seeking maximum performance in a compact form. Designed specifically for vessels with limited internal space, the E3 features a built-in driver and a space-saving profile that allows for installation in tight or confined areas. Its plug-and-play two-way junction box eliminates the need for bulky external drivers, streamlining the installation process while offering superior efficiency and functionality.

Capable of producing up to 5,000 fixture lumens, the Explore E3 delivers exceptional brightness while maintaining low power consumption. The E3 is available in a range of vibrant color options including Midnight Blue, Ultra White, Dual Blue/White, and full-color RGBW DMX. It also offers upgrade potential, allowing users to switch out the internal light cartridge for an E6 or E7 unit, providing long-term flexibility and scalability.

The light’s performance is underpinned by OceanLED’s signature advanced optics, engineered to maximize underwater visibility while minimizing power draw. The E3 emits a striking 90° wide-angle surface beam in combination with a focused 20° side beam, creating a powerful “blade of light” effect that penetrates deeper and covers a larger underwater area. This specialized beam geometry ensures superior light distribution and minimal lumen loss, even in challenging water conditions.

Constructed with a forged AB2 aluminum bronze mounting tube and an aluminum light body, the E3 is built to withstand the harshest marine environments. Its IP69K certification ensures maximum protection against water ingress—even beyond the industry-standard IP68 rating. With the optional rear enclosure kit, the E3 is protected from temporary submersion inside the hull, making it suitable for both new installations and retrofits on existing Explore XFM units.

The compact fixture has a total diameter of 105mm (4.13”), body diameter of 80mm (3.15”), and a profile height of just 4mm (0.16”), creating minimal drag and preserving hull performance for high-speed vessels. It fits into an 83mm (3.25”) cut-out and requires just 170mm (6.55”) of clearance inside the hull. Weighing only 1.2 kg (2.65 lbs), the unit is light yet robust, designed for long-term durability.

Installation is fast and intuitive thanks to thoughtful design features like the clamping kit and in-built driver. The Explore E3 integrates easily with other lighting systems and can even be mixed with OceanLED Sport Series fixtures—placing the Sport models on the transom and the E3 units along the sides for a seamless, flush-mount configuration.

Control is equally straightforward. The E3 RGBW version supports DMX integration for advanced lighting scenes, but can also be operated with a simple toggle switch. Toggling the power allows users to select colors or activate the Fish-Strobe mode, a randomized, high-intensity flashing effect proven to attract bait and increase fishing success.

From a performance perspective, the E3 offers impressive stats across lighting types. Single color models deliver up to 10,000 lumens (5,000 fixture lumens), dual color models up to 5,600 lumens (3,500 fixture lumens), and full-color scroll models up to 8,500 lumens (3,000 fixture lumens). It supports a DC operating range of 9–32V and can optionally run on 100–240V AC power. DC current draw varies by model, with single color drawing 5.5A at 12V (2.4A at 24V), dual color drawing 3.6A at 12V (1.7A at 24V), and color scroll drawing 5.5A at 12V (2.4A at 24V). For AC operation, single and scroll models draw 620mA at 110V (290mA at 230V), while the dual color draws 430mA at 110V (210mA at 230V).

Combining performance, design, versatility, and ease of use, the OceanLED Explore E3 delivers professional-grade underwater lighting in a compact and efficient form. It’s the perfect solution for those who want to stand out on the water—without compromising space, safety, or impact.
