1. A through-hull light for a marine vessel, the light comprising:
a body for mounting on the outer surface of a hull, having an outer side for facing water and a flat inner side for mounting against the hull;
a chamber formed within the body having a transparent screen mounted at an outer side;
a shaft extending from the inner side of the body for extending through an aperture formed in the hull;
a plurality of LEDs mounted within the chamber in two or more rows that are parallel with one another and arranged to be horizontal when the light is mounted through the hull of a marine vessel;
each LED mounted to direct light straight out of the chamber in a first direction perpendicular to the flat inner side of the body;
a reflecting structure mounted within the chamber, the reflecting structure comprising a plurality of reflectors, each reflector positioned immediately above or immediately below a row of LEDS and parallel therewith; wherein:
each reflector is formed to reflect light from the lights away from the first direction to a second direction that is a first fixed angle vertically from the first direction when the light is mounted through the hull of a marine vessel;
each reflector positioned immediately above a row of LEDs is angled in a first orientation to direct light incident upon it from the LEDs immediately below the reflector to the second direction; and
each reflector positioned immediately below a row of LEDs is angled in a second orientation to direct light incident upon it from the LEDs immediately above the reflector to the second direction.
