MOB light awarded
UK company Exposure Marine’s new MOB (man over board) light, has achieved top honours, winning the Life Saving and Safety Equipment category at the 2014 DAME Awards, announced this year’s Marine Equipment Trade Show (METS).
Using Exposure’s patented Man Over Board Technology (MOBT), this floating torch type light detects its flight through the air, and switches onto strobe mode automatically when it hits the water.
The DAME Design Jury commented “Exposure Marine’s MOB Search Light is a beautifully designed and engineered, pocket-sized, powerful LED torch with several useful functions. Housed in a robust body, the MOB Search Light has a variable output when used in hand, and it floats and automatically enters a very bright strobe mode if dropped into water.” The Jury also liked the MOB’s ability to be charged via a USB lead.
Tom Harrop, brand manager at Exposure Marine said, “We’re honoured to receive this prestigious DAME Design Award. Exposure’s ethos is about pioneering British innovation together with stylish, compact, lightweight designs.”
The DAME Awards recognise the importance of design and manufacturing quality, product function, aesthetics and ergonomics, ease of use, innovation, cost effectiveness and environmental impact from packaging to end product.
