New series of solar LED marine lanterns

Canada’s Carmanah Technologies has launched a new generation of high performance solar LED marine lantern.

The M800 Series combines a robust composite material construction and innovative optical design to deliver higher intensities and longer ranges at an optimal cost. New low earth orbit satellite monitoring capabilities also offer end users the ability to remotely monitor the health status and geoposition of an M800 lantern at virtually any installation location around the globe. Advanced orders for the new M800 series lanterns have already been received.

The M800 Series is available in two models: the M860 and M850. With peak intensity of up to 475 candela as defined by the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) and a maximum range of 10 NM, the new model M860 lantern is claimed to be the brightest, longest range self-contained solar LED lantern on the market in its class. The smaller format M850 offers customers a cost-optimised solution in moderate to high insolation regions with over 7.5 NM maximum range and 387 peak candela.
