Solar buoy light are a type of navigation lights powered by solar energy. They are often used for warnings and navigation signs of marine buoys, navigation aids, cages, etc.
They are usually durable, economical, practical, environmentally friendly and energy-saving. The visible distance can reach 1NM-20NM, and a 1-3 year warranty is provided.
The Role of Solar Buoy Light In Navigation Aids
- 1. Energy saving & environmental protection, reducing operation & maintenance costs
Traditional navigation lights rely on batteries or fuel for power supply, which requires regular replacement or replenishment, with high costs and high pollution risks. Solar marine navigation lights are powered by monocrystalline silicon solar panels (such as YFFY’s high-efficiency photovoltaic panels) and are equipped with large-capacity lithium batteries to get rid of external energy dependence.
- 2. High reliability and stability
The marine environment is harsh (salt spray, waves, extreme weather), and traditional equipment is prone to failure. However, solar marine buoy lights have no complex circuits and external lines, and the failure rate is significantly reduced.
For example, YFFY’s solar lights products will resist seawater immersion and typhoon impact through IP68 fully sealed waterproof design and corrosion-resistant alloy shell, and support wide temperature range of -40℃ to 70℃ to ensure continuous operation under extreme conditions.
- 3. Intelligent monitoring and remote management
Traditional marine navigation light require manual inspections, which are inefficient and have the risk of missed inspections. Solar warning lights can integrate intelligent sensors to achieve real-time status monitoring.
For example, the YFFY LS-E 2-4NM solar buoy light supports remote control, GPS positioning and synchronization. Management efficiency is improved by 90%.
- 4. Ultra-long visual distance and precise navigation
The core functions of navigation lights are warning and navigation. Solar lights improve efficiency through high-brightness LEDs and optical optimization. It can further meet the nautical mile requirements and meet the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) standards. 4NM is suitable for complex waters such as ports, shoals, and oil platforms.
- 5. Flexible deployment and wide applicability
Solar marine buoy lights do not require wiring and can be quickly deployed in areas that are difficult to cover with traditional equipment, such as reefs, shoals, and aquaculture areas.
Application Scenario Examples
- Case 1: After a Southeast Asian port used YFFY solar navigation lights, the annual operation and maintenance cost dropped from $12,000 to $3,500, and the equipment failure rate dropped by 95%.
- Case 2: After deployment in the aquaculture area of Bohai Bay, China, nighttime ship misentry accidents were reduced by 80%, while chemical batteries were prevented from polluting the marine ecology.
