CUS has been manufacturing C-

Lites for more than 15 years, for use in the harshest marine applications.

Now special computer designed reflectors enhance the capabilities of the custom made high intensity halo- gen lighting elements. In 1999 CUS introduced a new design for the C-

Lite shell. Molding specialists assisted by advanced computer design sys- tems created a compact, more func- tional design without sacrificing any of the necessary design requirements of the C-lites
