Description

FEATURES

  • 4 linear arrays of very high flux LEDs individually mounted in a parabolic reflector and driven by specially designed electronics
  • LEDs are mounted on specially designed heat sinks to keep the temperature of the LED below 50°C to assure the design life of 60,000 hours
  • Gimbal hinges are of a special polypropylene material tested to 69 million flex cycles (no metallic parts)
  • The heavy silicone fluid in which the gimbal counterweight is immersed maintains a viscosity of 100,000 SSU at all operating temperatures; this dampens any violent buoy motion and lengthens the natural period of the mechanism to over nine seconds
  • External electric control module
  • 15 pre‐programmed flash rhythms plus 1 for user programming
  • 360° horizontal beam; uniformity within ±10%
  • Approved by the U. S. Coast Guard for use on Class A structures in the 8th Coast Guard District at 4 watts
