Description

Overview

The SM-3 SOLAS lifebuoy light with a minimum light intensity of 3 candelas throughout its entire operating life, this high intensity LED strobe marks a crew-overboard site with each brilliant flash. It automatically rights itself and activates when in the water, ensuring that activation is never an issue that a crew member in distress needs to worry about. The SM-3 operates on 2 AA Lithium batteries and the batteries are user-replaceable, allowing the potential for a longer product life than the many disposable lifebuoy lights on the market.

The supplied mounting bracket holds the SM-3 secure in the roughest of conditions but it is still readily accessible when needed in an emergency. Additionally, while the SM-3 and its bracket are significantly smaller than the SM-2 counterparts, the SM-3 bracket conveniently maintains the same mounting hole pattern as the SM-2, allowing for easy retrofit with no additional adapter plate required.
