POLYCARBONATE DOUBLE NAVIGATION LIGHT - PORT SIDE RED

A Polycarbonate Double Navigation Light (Port Side, Red) is built to mark the port (left) side of a vessel in compliance with international navigation rules. Made from durable, UV-resistant polycarbonate, this fixture features a double-lens or dual-chamber design for added reliability—should one lamp fail, the other continues operating. Emitting a bright red light at the correct arc of visibility, it clearly indicates a vessel’s port side to others on the water, enhancing safety during nighttime or restricted-visibility operations.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Sturdy Polycarbonate Housing

   • Resistant to impacts, salt spray, and temperature extremes, ensuring a long operational life in harsh marine conditions.

2. Double Navigation Light Configuration

   • Two independent lamps or chambers provide redundancy, preventing complete loss of lighting if one lamp malfunctions.

3. Bright Red Illumination

   • Clearly marks the vessel’s port side per standard navigational color codes, aiding vessel identification and collision avoidance.

4. Lightweight & Low Maintenance

   • Polycarbonate construction reduces weight; sealed components help minimize corrosion and routine servicing needs.

5. Straightforward Installation

   • Typically includes surface or bracket mounting hardware; wiring connects easily to a 12/24 V DC power source (model-specific).

6. Regulatory Compliance

   • Often meets COLREGs, IMO, and other maritime safety standards, enabling safe operation and legal compliance in various jurisdictions.

Typical Applications

• Commercial & Cargo Vessels

  • Essential for large ships navigating busy waterways, ensuring other vessels can identify their port side at night.

• Fishing & Workboats

  • Delivers reliable red illumination for extended operations in low visibility, helping prevent on-water incidents.

• Recreational Yachts & Sailboats

  • Maintains compliance with navigational rules, ensuring safe passage and signaling when cruising or docking.

Technical Specifications

• Housing Material: UV-stabilized polycarbonate

• Lens: Red lens, double-chamber design for redundancy

• Operating Voltage: Typically 12/24 V DC (model-dependent)

• Light Source: LED or incandescent bulb (verify model details)

• Mounting: Bracket or surface mount with included hardware

• Ingress Protection: IP66–IP68 rating (model-dependent)

• Approvals: Conforms to COLREGs, IMO, or other navigational light standards (consult product documentation)

Usage & Maintenance

1. Proper Placement

   • Mount on the port side at the correct height and angle to satisfy maritime visibility requirements.

2. Wiring

   • Connect to the vessel’s electrical system following the manufacturer’s polarity and fuse recommendations.

3. Regular Checks

   • Inspect lens clarity, housing condition, and electrical connections; clean off salt and grime routinely.

4. Lamp Replacement (if needed)

   • Disconnect power before opening; use only specified bulbs or LED modules to maintain brightness and beam angle.
