Solar Marine Lanterns
Lantern intensity
The lantern intensity level can be set by either by defining the operating range of the lantern (in
Nautical miles) or by entering a desired peak candela or a percentage of maximum peak intensity
level.
If Schmidt Clausen is applied is selected, the lantern will automatically adjust the intensity level based
up on the entered range and flash character setting. The intensity level is automatically each time a
new range (NM) or flash character is written to the lantern.
If a intensity level is selected that is beyond the specification of the lantern, the entered figure will be
displayed in in red coloured text, and the lantern will configure the lantern to its maximum.
Note: The lanterns has been designed with a dynamic intensity limit. This limit will come into effect if
you select a flash characteristic with a heavy duty cycle (> 28.125%) and set a very high intensity.
Under these conditions the lantern will automatically reduce its intensity so that it is operating within
the thermal design window. Thus giving you years of operation without any noticeable degrade in light
output. This intensity limit will not be reached for the majority of applications.
The peak power limit for the SL-155-5D and Sl-155-10D lanterns has been set to 28.125%. There are
69 flash codes in the base table of 256 that will have an intensity cap.
The peak power limit for the SL155-2 has been set to 34.375%. There are 51 flash codes in the base
table of 256 that will have an intensity cap.
