The SLC420 is a robust, completely self-contained 4-5nm+ Solar LED Marine Lantern which incorporates a 36 LED light source for even greater light intensity. The 3 & 4 hole bolt pattern base fits directly onto existing 200mm OD industry standard mounts for ease of installation.

The chassis of the SLC420 is made from cast aluminium, subject to 7-stage powder-coating in high visibility IALA colours for daytime recognition, with UV-stabilisedrubber corners and gaskets providing a superior IP68 waterproof rating - the best in the industry.

Four (4) premium-grade solar modules are integrated into the assembly, and mounted to collect sunlight at all angles.

The unit is capable of producing any of 256 IALA recommended flash characters - field-adjustable without the need for ancillary equipment.

The tough polycarbonate lens is specifically designed for use with LEDs, and incorporates an environment-friendly spike - deterring unwelcome bird life. The lens design also ensures that vessel operators clearly see the light from above, when passing the AtoN.

Optional Flash Synchronisation via RF Comm Sync (SLC420-CS) or GPS (SLC420-GPS) 
The SLC420 may be fitted with optional comm sync RF module for short range flash synchronisation (SLC420-CS). For flash synchronisation of lanterns installed over longer ranges, a GPS module may be fitted (SLC420-GPS).

When lanterns flash in synchronisation they can be clearly distinguished from other navaids and confusing background lighting – ideal for rivers, marina entrances, channel marking and aquaculture.

Optional GSM Remote Monitoring & Control (SLC420-GSM) 
The SLC420 may also be fitted with GSM remote monitoring and control capabilities - enabling users to access real-time diagnostics data and change lantern settings via cell-phone or PC interface.

Optional Remote Radio Control (SLC420-RC) 
Radio control may be fitted to the SLC420 model enabling users to remotely modify the setup of their lantern via handheld radio controller (SL-RC-2.4).
