Lamps need to be bolted in their places, and if you opted to place a chandeliers they must be positioned to avoid shattering themselves when floating on turbulent waters. Additionally, the lightings used in yacht interiors must be use the lowest voltage to avoid using up your power while at sea. Lightings must meet both the aesthetics and functionality.
