Bluefin LED has launched the Mini IYS, a compact new gateway for intelligent marine lighting control, with Raymarine the first to integrate the technology into its products.
Designed and manufactured in the UK, the Mini IYS allows owners to control Bluefin LED underwater lighting directly from Raymarine Axiom chartplotters. The system connects via a single Ethernet cable and provides a clear, user-friendly interface that simplifies installation and increases onboard efficiency.
“Owners want a simple and elegant way to control their lighting from the systems they already trust,” said Chris Harris-Marsh, technical director at Bluefin LED. “With Raymarine as our first collaboration, the Mini IYS delivers exactly that.”
The system is fully compatible with Bluefin LED's Pro-Link P4, P6 and P26 color changing series as well as third party DMX512 controllable fixtures. The first release supports Raymarine Axiom MFDs running on the latest LightHouse operating system and provides seamless integration with a range of onboard systems.
“Axiom chartplotters’ LightHouse operation provides seamless integration with a variety of marine devices, and we are pleased to add Bluefin LED’s lighting solutions to our catalog of Axiom-compatible apps,” said Darren Boden, global product manager at Raymarine. “Axiom and Bluefin LED owners can now experience how easy and intuitive intelligent lighting control can be.”
Unlike other systems that require additional applications or complex configurations, the Mini IYS uses a secure, web-based HTML5 interface and allows control from any device with a web browser. It requires no downloads or proprietary software and is designed to be easily expandable and support future integrations with surface devices and broader onboard systems.
Developed entirely in-house, the Mini IYS reflects Bluefin LED's commitment to reliability, innovation and secure supply chains. It can be installed by OEMs, dealers or experienced DIYers, providing flexibility for all vessel types.
With further integrations planned, the Mini IYS marks an important step towards smarter and simpler lighting control for both professional and recreational marine environments. By collaborating with Raymarine, Bluefin LED strengthens its position at the forefront of intelligent onboard lighting technology.
