M501 Solar-Powered LED Light (up to 1 NM visibility)

The M501 is the world's most advanced, fully integrated solar-powered LED one nautical mile (1.8km) marine hazard-marking light. It installs in minutes and requires no maintenance or servicing for up to five years.

Utilizing an innovative combination of solar power and (light emitting diode) technology, the 501 LED light charges during the day, even under cloudy conditions, and turns on automatically at night. Available in green, red, amber, white and blue light output with one of five standard flash patterns (10, 15, 30, 60 flashes/min & steady-on).

The 501 LED light is rugged, reliable and virtually indestructible; it is designed to operate for up to five years with no additional maintenance or servicing. Due to its proprietary, unitized design, the 501 will withstand many years of harsh environmental conditions including submersion, vibration and intense sunlight.
