FA-249HA Marine Lantern

Range: 3 - 10 NM at 0.74T
Ideal for: offshore platforms, buoys, docks, piers, jetties, marinas.

The FA-249HA Marine Lantern is a rugged, compact and lightweight signal lantern constructed to withstand the mechanical stresses of service on buoys; it includes a number of features designed to endure harsh marine elements while maintaining structural integrity and reducing the need for maintenance. Available in white, red, green and amber.

Key Features

• A 3 piece lens mounting system engineered to eliminate lantern failures from cracked or broken components at the lantern hinge point
• Candlepower output of the acrylic lens exceeds that of larger conventional pressed glass lenses because acrylic has a higher color transmission factor and better optical characteristics
• Fittings in base for electrical connection
• 2 options for a tool less entry system: Stainless steel thumb screws, Stainless steel latches (The SS latch can be secured with a padlock to deter vandals)
• Silicone rubber gasket for air tight seal
• Candelabra, pre focused, marine signal lamps mounted on a rotating mechanism (Flashchanger) that automatically brings the next lamp into precise focal position when the operating lamp fails.

Optional Features

• External photocell, which limits lantern operation to hours of darkness only
• Catoptic insert designed to catch light lost in top of lantern and redirect it to horizontal plane, increasing horizontal candlepower by 5%
• TR-3 Power Supply with 120/240 VAC Input and 3 amp 12 Volt flashed output
• Uniflash® Series wireless synchronization system
• UHF/VHF radio for monitoring status of buoy lighting system or radio receiver for self-test actuation
• Battery Charger and Small standby battery
• Step-down transformer for AC/DC lampchanger in fixed burning applications
