Bluefin LED: Launch of Pro-Link and Mini IYS simplifies underwater lighting integration

Bluefin LED has introduced its Pro-Link underwater lighting range and Mini IYS (Intelligent Yacht System), unifying RGBW underwater lighting control into a single architecture. The setup removes the need for standalone control boxes, multi-switch setups, or Wi-Fi interfaces by integrating directly into a boat’s existing electronics network via a hard-wired setup.

Control is managed directly through compatible multifunction displays (MFDs) — including Raymarine Axiom and Q Experience units, with Garmin and Navico compatibility planned — or via mobile devices. The Mini IYS Controller connects to the MFD through a single Ethernet line to handle dimming, strobing, color selection, cycling, and sound-to-light modes. Power distribution is handled by the Mini IYS 4-Way Hub, which connects up to four Piranha Pro-Link lights and allows expansion up to 16 fixtures using additional hubs.
