The FA-249 Marine Lantern is a rugged, compact and lightweight signal lantern constructed to withstand the mechanical stresses of service on buoys; it includes a number of features designed to endure harsh marine elements while maintaining structural integrity and reducing the need for maintenance. Available in white, red, green and amber.
Features :
-
A 3‐piece lens mounting system engineered to eliminate lantern failures from cracked or broken components at the lantern hinge point.
-
Candlepower output of the acrylic lens exceeds that of larger conventional pressed glass lenses because acrylic has a higher color transmission factor and better optical characteristics.
-
Fittings in base for electrical connection.
-
2 options for a tool‐less entry system: Stainless steel thumb screws, Stainless steel latches (The SS latch can be secured with a padlock to deter vandals).
-
Silicone rubber gasket for air‐tight seal.

Optional Features :
-
External photocell, which limits lantern operation to hours of darkness only.
-
Cat optic insert designed to catch light lost in top of lantern and redirect it to horizontal plane, increasing horizontal candlepower by 5%.
-
TR-3 Power Supply with 120/240 VAC Input and 3 amp 12 Volt flashed output.
-
Uniflash® Series wireless synchronization system.
-
UHF/VHF radio for monitoring status of buoy lighting system or radio receiver for self-test actuation.
