Lighting devices including at least one light-emitting device, systems including at least one lighting device, and related methods
In some embodiments, a lighting assembly including at least one light-emitting device positioned within a housing is disclosed, wherein the housing is designed to allow an ambient environment to pass into the housing and transfer heat from the at least one light-emitting device. The light-emitting area of the light-emitting device may be sealed from the ambient environment. In some embodiments, the housing may include at least one recess, port, or other opening configured to allow a liquid or gas to promote heat transfer from the light-emitting device. In some embodiments, a vehicle, a marine system, or other systems may include at least one lighting assembly as contemplated herein.

Micro-adjustment device for lighting modules
A device for micro-adjustment of a lighting module has a first end including a thread to be driven into a surface of the lighting module. A second end of the device includes a micro-adjustment thread for attachment of a nut. A flange is positioned between the thread of the first end and the micro-adjustment adjustment thread of the second end. The device also includes a driving feature positioned between the flange and the micro-adjustment adjustment thread. The driving feature has an outer diameter that is smaller than an outer diameter of the flange.
SELF-MONITORING MARINE NAVIGATION LIGHT
A self-monitoring LED marine navigation light that monitors LED intensity and if the intensity is not COLREG compliant, a microprocessor in the light simulates an open filament just as would an incandescent light, thus allowing the analog ships alarm panel circuit to trigger an alarm. The device generally comprises a base, a lens mounted to the base, and an LED module seated in the base and enclosed by the lens. The LED module includes primary and optional secondary LED lights plus one or more photodiode(s) exposed to the LED light(s). The LED also includes a processor and software for measuring light intensity input to the photodiode(s), comparing measured intensity to a minimum COLREG threshold, and signaling failure when measured intensity falls below said minimum threshold.

Lighted boat accessories
A method for providing lighting to a boat surface comprising providing an LED light source in a transparent disk and placing the disk on the boat surface in a location where the boat accessory is to be mounted with the disk fastener openings aligned with the boat surface openings. The method includes connecting a power source to the light source, placing the boat accessory on the transparent disk with the boat accessory fastener openings aligned with the disk fastener openings and inserting the at least one fastener through the boat accessory openings, disk openings and boat surface openings. The fastener secures the boat accessory and disk to the boat surface wherein the transparent disk bears the weight of the boating accessory. Upon providing power to the light source, light travels from the light source to the circumferential edge of the transparent disk, illuminating the area adjacent the boating accessory.
