Abstract
An integrated marine vessel hardtop and navigation lighting system, for use on boats having a hardtop or platform which covers the helm, bridge, cockpit or similar areas. The system includes a hardtop having recessed voids which receive specially designed starboard, port and stern integral lighting assemblies and LED matrix array modules. The lights provide improved chromaticity and luminosity in desired angular fields of light, and further having arcuate surfaces which complement port and starboard lenses having mating surfaces. The lighting system is secured and self contained and coterminous with the hardtop. The hardtop and lighting modules constitute a generally unitary and stealth assembly, the light fixtures being integrated within said hardtop means in an unobtrusive manner without protuberances.
