The Mega-Guard Navigation Light
Control System (NLCS) controls
up to 48 navigation lamps. The
system has two outputs for each
navigation lamp: a Main lamp

for simultaneous on/off control.
The Mega-Guard Navigation Light
Control System supports the
following lamp types:
LED lamps; 19~32VDC ;
maximum 60W.

The lamps are continuously
monitored for failures and the
Spare lamp is automatically
activated in case of failure of the

The Navigation Light Control
System is connected to a main
and back-up supply and switches
automatically to the back-up supply
in case of failure of the main supply.
