Introduction
Congratulations! By choosing to purchase a Sealite lantern you
have become the owner of one of the most advanced LED marine
lanterns in the world.
Sealite Pty Ltd has been manufacturing lanterns for over 25 years, and particular care has
been taken to ensure your lantern gives years of service.
As a commitment to producing the highest quality products for our customers, Sealite has
been independently certified as complying with the requirements of ISO9001:2015 quality
management system. Sealite lanterns comply with requirements of the US Coast Guard in
33 CFR part 66 for Private Aids To Navigation.
By taking a few moments to browse through this booklet, you will become familiar with the
versatility of your lantern, and be able to maximise its operating function.
Operating Principle
A microprocessor drives an array of ultra-bright LED’s through a
DC/DC converter, which enables the LED’s to operate within the
manufacturer’s specifications.
On darkness, the microprocessor will initiate a program check and after approximately 1
minute begin flashing to the set Flash Character.
The flasher unit has a low current requirement to optimise its use with external battery
power supply systems.
