BargeSafe™ Solar 3nm LED Barge Light
COLREG-72 & UL 1104 Certified
Introduction
Congratulations! By choosing a Sealite BargeSafe™ Solar you are the owner of one of the
most advanced LED marine lights available.
Sealite Pty Ltd has been manufacturing lights for over 25 years, and particular care has been taken to ensure
your light gives years of service.
The Sealite BargeSafe™ Solar 3nm complies with requirements for a 3 mile light under international standard
UL 1104, Marine Navigation Lights, and US Coast Guard COLREG-72, and has been tested and certified to
the relevant sections by Independent Testing Laboratories Inc. Boulder, CO, in 2008.
A Sealite Warranty Registration Card accompanies your light and must be returned to validate your warranty.
Operating Principle
The BargeSafe™ Solar 3nm barge lights use the latest advancements in LED (Light Emitting Diode)
technology as a light source. As a user, you can expect in excess of 100,000 hours of LED operation, with
minimal power consumption.
The light head is powered by a 12V 12Ah SLA Battery which is recharged during the day using 4 x 3watt solar
panels. This combination means the light is able to recharge with limited exposure to sun. The solar panels of
the light convert sunlight to an electrical current that is used to charge the battery. The battery provides power
to operate the light at night. The flasher unit has very low current requirements. A microprocessor drives an
ultra bright LED through a DC/DC converter, which enables the LED to operate within the manufacturer’s
specifications. The battery is protected from over-charging within the circuit to ensure maximum battery life.
The BargeSafe™ Solar 3nm Light utilises a small microprocessor to control the LED function and monitor the
light levels to enable the light to turn on automatically at night. During the day, the BargeSafe™ Solar 3nm
Light runs a number of self diagnostic functions.
