Solar LED Lights Vega VLB-36-SCXL

The VLB-36-SCXL is the self-contained extra large solar pack version of the VLB-36.

The VLB-36 Self Contained Beacon forms part of the Vega LED marine beacon family. It is available with two vertical divergence options: 7° as standard and optional10°.

The unique optical system utilizes an acrylic lens to maximise the light capture from the LEDs. The LEDs are precisely graded and placed to produce a light beam with minimum variation in intensity. This optical efficiency results in a compact, self contained light unit that can offers ranges up to 6 miles in the UK and Ireland.

The beacon is available in 5 colours, red, green, white, yellow and blue (on request). All colours meet the IALA chromaticity recommendation.

The VLB-36 optics have been maximised for buoy applications by shaping the optical performance for higher output across the vertical divergence of the beacon. The use of high efficient optics and electronics has resulted in energy efficiency as high as 90 Candela per Watt at 5NM. The low energy need reduce the solar panel and battery requirements in the overall design.

All VLB-36 beacons are tested in the Vega zero range light tunnel prior to shipment to ensure the light output meets the required specification.

The Solar Charger contains a microprocessor based charge controller to manage the charge rate to the battery depending on the ambient temperature and battery voltage.

The base of the solar pack contains threaded inserts to take 3 x M12 bolts. These are located on a 200mm PCD. A stainless steel adapter plate is available where 4-hole mounting is required.
