is this a good light for boat(marine ) interior lighting and use on and off shore power

Yes... We installed these lights on our boat and are very pleased with the performance

I use this for my salt water tank and it gives plenty of bright light. Might need to research more if you are going to do plants but for fish and many types of salt water corals it is great.

The Marineland light might not be effective enough because it depends on which type of fixture you have. I would recommend running both of them. The Orbit light fixtures are really bright and come with really great features.

Since it is NOT waterproof, we have not opted to have this unit tested for an IP rating. The guarantee is good for normal use for a flashlight and worth a replacement or refund (with order number). We are always developing more products, but I doubt if we come up with a more featured-loaded product than the PowerSafe (but never say never! ;) LED light brightness is 2000-2500mcd.

I use mine on a cabin cruiser boat. It will maintain the starting batteries and radio but not the bigger electric draws like the fridge, air or even the fans.

Yes would work great I power mine with a 12v car battery all night when out fishing , the light must , must be in the water or it will get to hot and burn out quickly

Yes. I have been using this light for flounder gigging in saltwater for many years.

I use it on a 12 volt boat system. It is very bright, you need some power. I doubt what you suggest would be enough.

This light should be more than sufficient for your purposes. It is very bright and works quite well for plants. I no longer have an aquarium, but last spring I set it up for our garden starters; the plants under this light did much better than those under an ordinary full-spectrum light. I hope this helps.

I don't know for sure but I think it would work. 6A at 12V will give you 72W and the lights are 27W. It certainly would give some bright light. I am quite happy with them on my boat.

Of course it can. It can probably work under water, but it's not too smart. Best damn light I ever had.

According to the instructions, it should only be used for marine batteries when off the boat. If operated in a confined space it could cause an explosion.

Maybe! I had to buy a transformer for home use. Not sure with DC of a boat battery. Good Luck.

I have four of these lights on my boat and they work just fine. Brightest lights I've ever had on the boat and they draw hardly any current.

It could work for a boat . But this isn't a marine amp . So you would need to install it in a place that won't get wet at all.

It depends on what kind of saltwater aquarium you have. If you have a fish only with live rock (FOWLR) tank, then I would say yes this light would be great! If you had a reef tank with some LPS or Soft Corals I think they would do fine. I would not recommend harder to keep SPS corals under this light given the dimensions of a standard 210 gallon tank.

I don't own one of these myself, but in general, LED Marine lights draw between 10% to 20% of the current of incandescent bulbs of the same lumen value. I would expect this light to draw about 1/10 of an ampere (1.2 watt), based on the 1 amp current draw of an AquaSignal Series 25 anchor light using a 10 watt festoon bulb. Another advantage of LED lighting is it seems to last longer than the usual festoon bulbs in Navigation light fixtures on small boats.
