Adaptive light for a watercraft

A lighting system for a watercraft comprising:

• a level sensor generating a level signal corresponding to a level of the watercraft;
• a plurality of light sources;
• a plurality of elements optically coupled to the light sources, each of the plurality of light sources corresponding to one of the plurality of elements, wherein the elements of each group are spaced apart by elements of at least one other group, the plurality of elements comprises groups of elements having a same angle of light direction;
• and
• a controller coupled to the level sensor and the light source, said controller controlling one of the groups of light sources to illuminate selected elements less than all the elements to form a beam pattern, wherein the plurality of elements is mounted to a curved surface that is curved in a vertical direction.

A mast light system for a watercraft comprising:

• a level sensor generating a level signal corresponding to a level of the watercraft said level corresponding to pitch and roll of the watercraft;
• a light source;
• a plurality of elements optically coupled to the light source;
• and
• a controller coupled to the level sensor and the light source, said controller controlling the light source to illuminate selected elements less than all the elements to form a beam pattern;
• wherein the plurality of elements circumscribes a mast, wherein the plurality of elements circumscribes the mast in a plurality of rows and columns;
• said controller addressing individually addressable elements different elements in different rows and different columns to compensate for the pitch and the roll of the watercraft.
