SL-125 Series 5-9NM+ LED Marine Lantern
SL-125 & SL-125-C Models
The SL-125 5-9NM+ light xture is the most advanced LED marine lantern on the market.
Utilising the latest software and micro circuitry developments, the lantern boasts a huge
number of features including ash-memory and the most efcient power conversion available.
This maintenance-free model is also available with up to 4 tiers of 36 LEDs to increase the light
intensity for a range of different light colours (see Specications table below). Each LED tier
utilises the Sealite omnidirectional LED Reector (US Pat. No. 6,667,582. AU Pat. No. 778, 918)
to increase the intensity and uniformity of the horizontal output. In particular, the SL-125 4-tier
model utilises a unique heat-dissipating domed lens to achieve maximum LED intensity output
over a wider range of environmental conditions.
The SL-125-C Complete Lantern Assembly provides a complete solution for visual navigation
requirements incorporating solar modules and battery to power the light.
Remote monitoring and control capabilities are also available for the SL-125, allowing the
performance of the units to be monitored from remote sites. System status includes battery
condition, ash characters, operational conguration, and lantern/buoy position.
The SL-125 may also be tted with Comm-Sync. The Sealite Comm-Sync range of lanterns
utilises an internal RF module that operates on a 2.4Ghz frequency and has an operational
range of up to 1.4km between 2 lights. Should more than two lights be required to be
synchronised the range may be extended for longer distances as the lanterns transmit data to
the adjacent lantern, causing it to fall in to synchronisation. The only limitation is no lantern
should be more than 1.4km from the next lantern in series.
