The L90 lifebuoy light is a dry cell powered light equipped with a tilt switch for automatic function. It burns for a minimum of two hours with a light intensity of at least 2 candela and is safe on oil or petrol covered waters.  It is fully MED approved and meets all the latest IMO SOLAS standards. With five user replaceable Alkaline D cells (1.5v LR20) it has a life of one year and can be easily fixed on the ship with the lifebuoy light bracket (available separately).  The unit will only function when upright and it is very important to follow the fitting instructions shown below, to ensure it works correctly if ever required in emergency.  For more details, approvals information, user instructions etc, please follow the link to the product section
