The Original underwater lights™  by Underwater Lights Limited™ expand to the USA

Underwater Lights Limited™, makers of the original underwater lights since 1991, have further extended their distribution network by opening an office in Dania Beach, Florida.

The Original ‘through-hull’ submersible lights from Underwater Lights Limited™, are now available from the company’s new subsidiary, Underwater Lights Limited, Inc, based at the Royale Palm Yacht Basin in Dania Beach, just south of Fort Lauderdale, USA.

Manufacturing of the lights continues to take place at Underwater Lights GmbH, based in Bremen, Germany, to ensure that the highest quality product is produced for customers worldwide.

The new US company is headed up by Martyn Bignall who has vast experience in the marine industry, as well as in sales and marketing. He has worked on the construction of world-class offshore powerboats and one-off race yachts and was involved in the launch of a matched resin system for boatbuilding.

In 1989 he established Martel Composites in the UK, latterly known as Martel Wessex Composites Ltd after the buy-in of shares from Wessex Resins and Adhesives. Martyn resigned from that company in 2004 to establish another marine panel manufacturing business in the US.
