New certificated Bremen handheld and waterproofed LED searchlight
Bremen is the latest handheld LED searchlight from the maritime lighting brand aqua signal, and has been
designed as a luminaire for nearly all kinds of search operations. The energy efficient searchlight provides
morse capability for emergency situations at sea. It is certified with the internationally known wheelmark
which aims to increase security at sea. The Bremen LED is suitable for life boats and also commercial
crafts under SOLAS and MCA regulations. It can be used inside and outside of any vessel. Aqua signal’s
searchlight comes with a 5 year warranty.
Application
Handheld search lights are vital tools for night sailing and landing manoeuvres. They can also be used for
anti-collision protection when placed on the sails for visibility, and can illuminate odd items in the water or
most importantly an overboard crew member. It is mandatory to have a handheld searchlight ready in a
cockpit when at sea. A handheld light can fix on someone in the sea while the vessel is pitching and rolling
– something which is almost impossible to do with a mounted searchlight.
Maritime requirements
The Bremen LED is designed for use on motor and sailing vessels under extreme environmental
conditions. It is used by coastguards and military staff all around the world. The rubber black housing
gives it a solid grip, and it is designed with an extended front edge for protecting the lens. The whole
housing is impact and shock resistant, non-corrosive and non-magnetic. An ingress protection of IP68 is a
requirement when at sea, and it protects the light from dust and is suitable for continuous immersion in
water.
The 12 Watt LED module is covered by a clear fresnel lens. As a certified LED searchlight, it is tested for
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). It is usable with 12-24 Volts.
Mounting
The Bremen LED is manufactured for hand held use, but a clamp bracket for side mounting and a slip-on
bracket for deck mounting is available. This search light requires a waterproof deck plug & socket (or
cigarette lighter plug & socket) in order to be installed.
