What is a Marine Grade Garden Light?
A marine grade garden light (also called a coastal garden light) is an outdoor light fitting that is resistant to corrosion from on-shore winds coming from large bodies of water such as the ocean. Typically, marine grade garden lights should be used by properties within 15km of the coast.
Marine Grade Garden Lights Tips
- If you live near an ocean, then an outdoor garden light that is not marine grade will easily start to corrode within a year of installation.
- Normal stainless steel is not marine grade - it needs to be 316 stainless steel to be marine grade.
- A marine grade garden light does not necessarily mean it is also waterproof.
- It is critical to maintain your marine grade garden lights by regularly wiping them down with a damp cloth.
