Marine Lanterns – SolaMAX-3 short range lanternSolaMAX-3 3Nm Self-contained marine lanternThe SolaMAX-3 is a “smart” self-contained lantern capable of ranges up to 3NM covering a variety of applications. Its lightweight and compact design makes it the ideal self-contained lantern for small marker buoys, docks, marinas and aquaculture sites and provides years of maintenance-free operation. Revolutionary optics and high efficiency solar panels make the SolaMAX-3 even more suitable for northern latitudes and low solar radiation applications. Options of battery capacity for demanding locations Optional GPS synchronisation 256 user selectable flash characters Magnetic On/Off switch for quick deployment & easy storage User selectable power and flash character settings via optional IR controller Battery test and lantern health check via IR controller Full monitor and control capability

Marine Lanterns – SolaMAX-65SolaMAX-65 5-7Nm Self-contained marine lanternThe SolaMAX-65 is a self-contained lantern capable of ranges up to 5NM in the standard version and up to 7NM in the extended version (SolaMAX-65-T). Its compact design makes it the ideal self-contained lantern for many applications including inland waterways, buoys and offshore platform marking to provide years of maintenance-free operation. Revolutionary optics and high efficiency solar panels make the SolaMAX-65 exceptionally suitable for northern and southern latitudes and low solar radiation applications. Up to 30-degrees vertical divergence making it the ideal lantern for rough waters and/or unstable buoys Options of battery capacity for demanding locations from 12Ah to 50Ah Optional GPS synchronisation 256 user selectable flash characters Magnetic On/Off switch for quick deployment & easy storage User selectable power and flash character settings via optional IR controller Battery test and lantern health check via IR controller Full monitor and control capability Theft deterrent design

WHY VERTICAL DIVERGENCE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN INTENSITY FOR BUOY LANTERNSVisual tests (as carried out by worldwide port authorities) have shown that the typical effective range of a buoy light is only 30% of its nominal range due to buoy motion. However, lights with significant vertical divergence can achieve an effective range that is 80% + of its nominal rated range on a buoy in a seaway.The unprecedented vertical divergence of the Tideland Signal SolaMAX-65 self-contained marine lantern actually increases the range at which a mariner can correctly identify a buoy by its lantern flash character. A 5 nm light with exceptional vertical divergence will be identifiable at a greater distance than a 7 nm light with a smaller vertical divergence.The reason for this effect is that the roll of a buoy with a narrow lantern vertical divergence confuses the flash character to a distant mariner. Sometimes he sees the light, other times he doesn’t as the buoy rolls. It is not possible to know if the disappearance of the light is due to a normal flash interval or the rolling of the buoy. So even though the mariner may see a lantern from some distance, he will not be able to identify the buoy by its flash character. The wider the vertical divergence the further away a lantern’s flash character can be correctly identified.However, the closer the mariner comes to the buoy, the dimmer the light appears until it is not seen at all when close aboard due to limited vertical divergence.

>16.5NM

>18NM

Nova-250 Long Range Marine LanternThe NOVA-250 features unique proprietary optics engineered to project a 360°, horizontal, high intensity, long range beam, in excess of 15NM at 115W of power and over 18NM for NOVA-250-3 at a transmissivity factor of 0.74. An efficient and compact lens provides a vertical divergence of 2.4 degrees making it the industry choice for a broad range of applications including offshore structures, land-based installations and lighthouse upgrades. Constructed of rugged, corrosion resistant marine aluminium, NOVA-250 is able to withstand the most severe environments, including icy regions at extreme latitudes. A combination of high efficiency optics, power conditioning circuitry and high intensity LEDs makes NOVA-250 ideal for solar power installations. User selectable intensity settings User selectable flash characters Full monitor and control capability Multiple channel power supplies assures light operations are sustained in the event of failure of one channel. A constant current power source provides maximum lifetime of LEDs
