Since our founding in 2007, we at Lumitec have been driven by a single mission - to push the boundaries of innovation in marine lighting. Over the years, we’ve built a reputation for reliability and quality, becoming a trusted partner to many of the world’s leading boat builders. But while our reach has grown globally, our focus has remained steady, advancing the marine lighting industry through groundbreaking technology.
In 2018, we introduced the Poco Digital Lighting Control System, a product that forever changed the way boaters think about onboard lighting. Built on our award-winning PLI (Power Line Instruction) technology, Poco delivered a revolutionary concept: sending digital commands to lighting fixtures over existing power wires. By eliminating the need for extensive rewiring, we made installation simple and gave boaters advanced, intuitive control of their lighting systems. It was a leap forward in both efficiency and experience.
From the beginning, Poco seamlessly integrated with compatible multi-function displays (MFDs) and connected smart devices. Its advanced features, user-friendly operation, and unbeatable value quickly earned the trust of boat owners and manufacturers alike.
Raising the Bar: Introducing Poco 4
Now, we’ve taken things to the next level with Poco 4, the most advanced version of the system yet.
What’s new in Poco 4?
-
NMEA 2000 Compatibility – Seamless integration with onboard systems through NMEA network activation of lighting commands.
-
Intelligent Sound-to-Light Synchronization – A uniquely sophisticated approach that allows lights to interact with music in more dynamic and customizable ways.
-
Backward Compatibility – All of our existing PLI-enabled lights work flawlessly with Poco 4, protecting your investment while expanding possibilities.
-
CAN Bus Intergration –Allowing for manufactures to easily facilitate Poco control of our lighting directly integrated into their native operating systems.
Even with these advancements, Poco 4 still operates on a simple two-wire DC electrical system. This reflects our philosophy perfectly: delivering innovation without unnecessary complexity.
More Than Lighting - It’s an Experience
Since its launch, Poco has evolved tremendously, but Poco 4 represents our most transformative leap forward yet. More than just a lighting control system, it’s an invitation to creativity. With unmatched customization and personalization, boaters can now shape their onboard environments to reflect mood, activity, and personal style - all at their fingertips.
With Poco 4, we’ve delivered more than an upgrade, we’ve redefining the future of the onboard lighting experience.
