Marine Hazard Light
Solar Powered • Self-Contained • Maintenance Free • Compact
The 601 Carmanah Light is the world's most advanced two nautical mile (3.6km) marine hazard light. Solarpowered, self-contained and completely sealed, it requires no maintenance or servicing for its entire life span.
The 601 charges during the day, even under cloudy conditions, and turns on automatically at night. Designed for
navigation, research and mooring buoys, channel and hazard markers, and marinas and docks, the 601 can
produce over 200 flash patterns - virtually any flash pattern used in the world today.
The 601’s solar panel is protected under a clear, patented polymer dome that traps sunlight and keeps the solar
panel clean. Instead of traditional incandescent bulbs, the 601 uses durable, high-intensity light emitting diodes
(LEDs). Due to its unique design, the 601 can withstand collisions, submersion, vandalism, vibration and many
years of intense sunlight. It has no moving parts, no wires, no openings or O-rings - not even an on/off switch. It can
be installed with three screws and requires no further attention for up to 5 years.
You can order your 601 Carmanah Light in red, green, amber, blue or white with IALA standard or custom flash
patterns.
