Metro Marine Lighting has launched the MM-CC-V1 Control Center, a marine lighting management system capable of handling up to 256 individual full-spectrum fixtures across a vessel’s entire electrical lighting network, paired with a companion iOS app for handheld control.

The New Jersey-based company, known for its patented anti-biofouling and anti-condensation underwater lighting fixtures, designed the MM-CC-V1 to go well beyond underwater lights. The controller supports 15 fully programmable preset visual scenes plus custom scene capabilities, and integrates directly with Garmin OneHelm and NMEA 2000 networks, making it a natural fit for vessels already running integrated navigation and electronics systems.

Setup is largely automatic. On startup, the MM-CC-V1 scans the lighting network, identifies all connected fixtures and interfaces, verifies firmware versions, and handles any necessary updates in the background. A live view function gives users a real-time display of the entire lighting system through a single interface, whether the boat is running RGBW lighting, underwater fixtures, or other digital accessories.

The companion iOS app extends that control to a smartphone, allowing owners and crew to blend hues, coordinate preset light shows, and monitor system status from anywhere aboard. The app also pushes operational alerts for lighting malfunctions and potential broader power issues, a useful layer of monitoring for anyone managing complex onboard electrical systems.

“The MM-CC-V1 sets the standard in marine lighting control, while maintaining a simplified setup and ease of use,” said Daniel Deutsch, president of Metro Marine Lighting. “Together with our industry-leading lights, Metro Marine gives boaters an all-in-one solution for elevating their vessel’s aesthetics.”

Metro Marine has been designing and manufacturing LED lighting systems for over 20 years. The MM-CC-V1 is available now at metromarinelighting.com.
