The optical head used in the SC 160 is from the LED 160 and it has a new rugged injection moulded aluminium housing. An advanced and easy to use remote monitoring and control software, LightGuard Monitor is available as an option. SC160 can also be controlled with Bluetooth® Control, an advanced app enabling user to check lantern details from up to 50 meters away from your mobile phone, even onboard a vessel.

SC 160 updates its predecessor’s SC 155’s technology to meet today’s requirements”, said Jonas Lindberg, Head of Product Development of Sabik Marine.
