Types of Marine Lantern For Buoys

The main marine lantern for buoys are LED marine lights, and YFFY Lights offers a variety of solar/LED powered marine beacon lights.

These marine warning lights are suitable for aquaculture, hazard warnings, perimeter markings, and various marine applications. Some marine lights are self-contained and are particularly suitable for floating navigation aids such as buoys. They have excellent optical performance and can be used for buoys and fixed installations. The typical optical range is 1-20 nautical miles.

Types of Marine Lantern For Buoys

The choice of marine guide lights for different types of buoys mainly depends on the purpose of the buoy, environmental conditions, and required visibility distance. Common types include:

1. LED navigation lights

Energy-efficient, long life

Adjustable brightness to meet various visible distance requirements

Usually equipped with solar panels, suitable for remote areas, i.e. solar navigation aids lights

2. Xenon (HID) or neon lights

Extremely bright, visible from a long distance

But high energy consumption, not as energy-efficient as LED, high maintenance cost

3. Incandescent lamps

Traditional choice, low cost

High energy consumption, relatively short life, gradually replaced by LED

4. Solar lights

Powered by solar energy, maintenance-free

Automatically charged during the day, automatically working at night

Suitable for unattended buoys, often equipped with automatic switching and adjustment functions

5. Flashing or continuous light mode

Solar ocean buoy lights help to be identified at specific distances or background conditions, and can be customized with 350 flashing modes, as well as GPS positioning and synchronization functions.

6. Special optical designs

Such as focusing or diffusing lenses, used to optimize beam angles and brightness distribution to ensure visibility of buoys in specific sea areas.

Selection Suggestions

• Safety: High-brightness and stable lights are required for offshore buoys.
• Sustainability: Solar LED marine lights are recommended for remote or unattended buoys.
• Environment: Salty water and strong winds require corrosion-resistant and weather-resistant marine lights for buoys.
