Sealite SL125-2 receives United States Coast Guard Approval for Class A Structures
Sealite is pleased to announce the SL125-2 model LED marine lantern has been U.S. Coast Guard Approved for Class 'A' structures.
The SL125-2 incorporates 2 tiers of 36 LEDs (72 in total) providing a luminous range of >5 nautical miles. Each LED tier utilizes the Sealite patented omni-directional LED Reflector (U.S. Pat. No. 6,667,582 / AU Pat. No. 778,918) to increase the intensity and uniformity of the horizontal output.
The SL125 is equipped with a huge number of features including:
- Flash-memory
- The most efficient power conversion available
- Tough polycarbonate lens specifically designed for use with LEDs
- IP68 waterproof rating- unmatched by other manufacturers
- Optional remote monitoring and control capabilities, allowing the performance of the units to be monitored from remote sites
- Internal GPS Synchronization
Sealite Sales Director, Chris Procter commented 'The US Coast Guard approval of the SL125-2 model is great news for our customers in the Gulf of Mexico. In the 3 weeks immediately after Hurricane Katrina we shipped more than 400 lights to the region. This approval means customers with Class 'A' structures can now benefit from the low-maintenance & higher reliability of LED technology.'
