ACR SM-3 SOLAS Lifebuoy Marker Light USCG/MED

The ACR SM-3 SOLAS Lifebuoy Marker Light is a high intensity LED strobe that provides 360-degree visibility for approximately 2 miles. This compact yet durable marker light facilitates rescue by automatically activating and beginning to strobe when in the water, working for over 40 hours at 30°C (86°F) or over 24 hours at -1°C (30°F). Perfect for commercial marine, petro-marine, cruisers, and any other application needing a reliable Crew Overboard Marker (COB) light, the SM-3 floats upright in all conditions, ensuring it keeps shining when you need it most.

With a minimum light intensity of 3 candelas throughout its entire operating life, this high intensity LED strobe clearly marks a crew-overboard site with each brilliant flash. It automatically rights itself and activates when in the water, so activation is never an issue a crew member in distress needs to worry about. The SM-3 operates on 2 AA lithium batteries that are user replaceable, offering longer product life than many disposable lifebuoy lights on the market, and the supplied mounting bracket holds it secure in the roughest conditions while staying readily accessible in an emergency. The SM-3 is USCG/MED/SOLAS approved for use around the world, giving vessels an excellent option for meeting USCG and SOLAS carriage requirements for lifebuoy self-igniting lights.
