Through extensive optical computer modeling we have been able to design a system that optimizes the light output in 155mm lenses using an off point source LED module.
We are proud to offer our LED retrofit upgrade to replace both the Flasher and Lampchanger in 155mm marine signal lanterns. Now the advantage of LED technology can be obtained without discarding the entire lantern. Only one lens color now needs to be stocked and there is no need to carry many lamp sizes for different light locations.
Our SixLED system yields both high intensity, high divergence and up to 100,000 hours of dependable life. Features include over 256 flash rhythms selectable by DIP switch, synchronization and daylight control operation. Separate power circuits for each LED provide redundancy to keep the light shining.
We provide six individual power drivers which provide redundancy in the case of an unlikely power driver or LED failure. These power drivers are computer programmable and allow for accurate intensity output matching adjustment of each LED.
Designs from other manufacturers connect multiple LED’s in series. If an LED fails, their whole string fails. If their design utilizes only one driver circuit and it fails, the whole light goes dark.
Optimal heat management of LED’s in our design allows for maximum manufacturer recommended power levels and light intensities even with a fixed rhythm light.
Since the life of LED’s are significantly reduced when driven at power levels that cause overheating, we have carefully designed our SixLED system to control power electronically and to successfully drain the LED heat away mechanically
