POLYCARBONATE SINGLE NAVIGATION LIGHT - ANCHOR LIGHT WHITE

A Polycarbonate Single Navigation Light (Anchor Light, White) is designed to provide a bright, 360° white beam, indicating a vessel is anchored in compliance with international maritime regulations. Constructed from durable polycarbonate for excellent resistance to impact, UV rays, and saltwater, this single-lens fixture delivers reliable all-around visibility. Ideal for commercial and recreational boats, it ensures other vessels can easily identify your anchored position in low-light or nighttime conditions, reducing the risk of collisions.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Robust Polycarbonate Housing

   • Withstands harsh marine elements – salt spray, UV exposure, and fluctuating temperatures – for a longer operational life.

2. Single-Lens White Illumination

   • Emits a clear, 360° beam of white light, complying with standard anchor light requirements outlined in COLREGs/IMO rules.

3. Lightweight & Low-Maintenance

   • Sealed unit design reduces the need for frequent upkeep; simple installation minimizes added weight on the vessel.

4. Easy Mounting

   • Typically includes mounting hardware for straightforward setup (e.g., on mastheads or specialized anchor light mounts).

   • Wiring compatible with standard 12/24 V DC systems (model dependent).

5. Regulatory Compliance

   • Commonly meets COLREGs, IMO, or other maritime standards governing anchor lights (check product docs for specifics).

Typical Applications

• Commercial Ships & Cargo Vessels

  • Ensures full 360° illumination during anchorage, meeting mandatory requirements in busy or restricted areas.

• Fishing & Workboats

  • Enables nighttime or extended anchoring operations with improved visibility for nearby vessels.

• Recreational Yachts & Sailboats

  • Provides a simple, weatherproof solution for marking anchorage during leisure cruising or overnight stays.

Usage & Maintenance

1. Placement

   • Install at a high point (e.g., masthead), per regulations requiring all-around visibility.

2. Electrical Connection

   • Wire to a fused circuit with correct polarity, ensuring watertight cable entries to prevent short circuits.

3. Regular Inspection

   • Check the lens for salt or debris; clean as needed. Examine the housing for any signs of damage or wear.

4. Bulb/LED Replacement (if applicable)

   • Turn off power before opening; replace only with approved parts to maintain correct brightness and beam angle.
