3-5 NM Solar Marine Lanterns Application

3-5 NM Solar Marine Lanterns, with a durable, large-format solar engine, the Self-contained Lantern M860 is engineered for consistent, reliable performance at remote installations and in challenging isolated locations.

Marine Lantern LED 110 is a maintenance free short range LED lantern. Using latest high power LEDs, Sabik intelligent electronics and our specially designed efficient optics, we have been able to achieve an excellent performance for the lantern. LED 110 is produced of polycarbonate for durability and low weight.

As with all modes of transport, the lighting systems used by the night are imperative to the vehicle’s safety. Ships, being enormous constructs, needs lighting systems too! In fact, the lighting system in place for a vessel is integral to the safe navigation of the vessel; in fact, it is one of THE MOST important aspects of nautical studies emphasised on in college as well as for competency exams.

The primary function of marine navigation lights is to aid prevention of any major accident from happening. All boats – whether big or small are required to have night lights as a part of the navigation systems. This system was introduced in the year 1838 by the United States and then was followed by the United Kingdom in 1849.

In the year 1889, the International Maritime Conference was established by the United States to establish proper guidelines to prevent marine accidents. In the year 1897, these rules were officially adopted internationally. The colour of the lights that were required to be used as specified by a set of rules passed in the UK. On the basis of this rule, three colours were chosen: red, green and white. Even today, the marine navigation lighting consists of these three colours.

Lights aren’t just to indicate one’s own status as a vessel for identification by other vessels in the vicinity but also vice versa. It is probably the most important aspect when complying with COLREGS in order to ascertain the status of any vessel in order to take the appropriate action as per COLREGS. PART C of the COLREGS published by the IMO is titled as LIGHTS AND SHAPES and lays out all necessary information with regard to lights and the specificity of their usage for different types of vessels.

There is a pattern in which these lights are set up on the ships and boats in conjunction with the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) Buoyage Systems. The pattern can be explained below :

• There is a light at the right-hand side of the boat (right side when facing the bow of the vessel known as the starboard side) which is green in colour.
• There is a light at the left-hand side of the boat (left side when facing the bow of the vessel is known as the port side) which is red in colour.

This is a premium and full-featured lantern that is suitable for achieving longer ranges in challenging isolated locations. The M860 offers up to 475 CD (IALA Peak) and over 5 NM range.
