SERIES CR7000 MARINE SIGNAL MODULE

The Series CR7000 LED Marine Signal Module and Series CR7100 LED Marine Signal Lantern are designed to be a superior alternative to incandescent lanterns in the one to eight mile peak intensity visibility range with lower power consumption yet greater vertical divergence.

The module mounts into the standard lens ring of a 155mm marine lantern base in place of the 155mm lens. It contains everything needed to replace the entire 155mm incandescent system and includes the LEDs, the side emitting lens(es), the electronics and the Daylight Control Sensor. The predicted LED life of 100,000 hours makes the lantern much more reliable and reduces maintenance costs significantly when compared to the older incandescent lamp systems.

The compact design of the CR7000 module greatly simplifies wiring and makes converting a 155mm lantern into an LED light effortless. It is based on the novel CR Side Emitting LED lens which offers outstanding brilliance. This lens greatly simplifies the construction of the LED light head. This simplified optical system is lower in cost but can produce as much light as the large quantity LED systems presently on the market. The lens provides excellent uniformity in the horizontal plane (no molding seams) as well as a wide 7.5° to 10° symmetrical vertical divergence to 50% of peak intensity (FWHM).

The state of the art flasher and driver circuit powering the LEDs provide high efficiency with its Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) constant current drive system. The three hole mounting pattern of the module matches the pattern of standard 155mm lenses which makes change-over of a standard 155mm lantern into an LED light straightforward; just bolt it on with the three screws, connect the power and place it into service.
