POLYCARBONATE SINGLE NAVIGATION LIGHT - TOWING LIGHT

A Polycarbonate Single Navigation Light (Towing Light) is engineered to signal a vessel’s towing status, ensuring compliance with international maritime regulations. Constructed from robust polycarbonate for superior impact and weather resistance, it features a single-lens design that emits a clear, white beam—indicating the towing arrangement to other vessels. Suitable for use on a range of commercial ships, tugboats, and barges, this light facilitates safer navigation and effective communication when hauling or towing operations are underway.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Durable Polycarbonate Construction

   • Resists UV exposure, salt spray, and impact, extending operational life in challenging marine environments.

2. Single-Lens Configuration

   • Straightforward design offers reliable illumination without the complexity of multiple light chambers.

3. White Towing Beam

   • Projects a clear, bright beam to indicate towing activities, conforming to regulations for towing lights.

4. Lightweight & Low-Maintenance

   • Polycarbonate housing reduces overall weight; sealed internal components require minimal servicing.

5. Straightforward Installation

   • Typically includes a mounting base or bracket for quick setup on tugboats, barges, or other vessels engaged in towing.

6. Regulatory Compliance

   • Often meets IMO, COLREGs, or other national/international standards for towing navigation lights (check specific product documentation).

Typical Applications

• Tugboats & Barges

  • Vital for signaling active towing status in ports, inland waterways, or open-sea towing operations.

• Offshore Support Vessels

  • Employed during anchor handling or rig tows, enhancing visibility of the operation to nearby traffic.

• Harbor & Coastal Towing

  • Provides a designated light to prevent collisions when maneuvering ships or transporting structures near shores.

Technical Specifications

• Housing Material: Polycarbonate (impact and UV-resistant)

• Lens: Single-lens, typically clear/white for towing light

• Operating Voltage: Commonly 12/24 V DC (verify product specs)

• Light Source: LED or incandescent bulb (model-dependent)

• Mounting: Surface or bracket mount (hardware typically included)

• Ingress Protection: Rated IP66–IP68, suitable for harsh marine conditions

• Approvals: Complies with COLREGs, IMO, or other relevant towing light standards (consult documentation)

Usage & Maintenance

1. Placement

   • Install in accordance with maritime guidelines for towing lights, ensuring proper visibility to surrounding traffic.

2. Wiring

   • Connect to a compatible power source with sealed, watertight fittings; follow manufacturer’s instructions for polarity.

3. Inspection

   • Regularly clean the lens and check the housing for damage; remove any salt or debris buildup.

4. Replacement

   • If the bulb or LED fails, disconnect power before accessing internal components; only use approved replacement parts to maintain brightness and compliance.
