1.0 OVERVIEW
The Nova-65 SC features unique and proprietaryopticswhichprovidea 360°beam at
5°, 10° or 20° vertical divergence. Utilizinga highly efficient compact lens, the Nova-
65 SC is engineered to utilize the advanced and cost-effective technology of LEDs.
Solar modules and high-grade batteries are housed in a compact self-contained
marine lantern, designed for low maintenance with a projected servicelifeof 10years
before any significant maintenance is needed. The 10° divergence lens is ideal for
fixed or floating aids to navigation while the 20° lens provides exceptional
performance on buoys. The 5° lens can be used to meet specific needs that require
a much longer range while still using a minimal amount of power.
The Nova-65 SC’s power efficiency provides superior performance in fixed or floating
aids to navigation applications.
