Range: 1 - 10 NM Depending on Application
Ideal for: offshore platforms, buoys, docks, piers, jetties, marinas.

The FA‐249 Marine Lantern is a rugged, compact and lightweight signal lantern particularly suited for buoys, fixed platforms, bridges, barges, low‐powered warning lights and others.
Adapted from the original FA‐249 marine lantern due to its widespread use and excellent reputation as a buoy lantern, this state of the art LED system is constructed to withstand the mechanical stresses of service on buoys and includes a number of features designed to endure harsh marine elements while maintaining structural integrity and reducing the need for maintenance.
