Solar Lighting Kits

SKU: SL-BRK

Premier Material’s solar lighting kits are designed to clearly mark bridges and structures extending over navigable waterways to provide maximum safety to the vessels traveling through. Used extensively throughout the USA, our solar lighting kits feature a large solar power supply (10watt solar module with 7.5Ah SLA battery) positioned at the top of the assembly to maximize solar collection.

The lantern inside the solar lighting kit is steady-on as standard but is available with a range of other factory-set flash characteristics and sectoring requirements to suit local regulations. Also, the lighting kits come with an optional long extension arm between the light and the power supply that will ensure that the AtoN is clearly visible to the mariners below.

*PLEASE NOTE: the extension arm is not included with the standard SL-BRK solar lighting kit.

Our solar lighting kits are used to reliably mark bridges in the following ways:

• Marking navigable limits of the channel with red or green lights in accordance with the IALA Maritime Buoyage System located on the bridge piers, under the span, or on buoys and beacons in the water
• Indicating a ‘best point of passage’ with white lights located under the span and exhibiting a safe water mark character
• A choice of over 256 IALA recommended flash patterns available, including steady-on
  The lights are configured as complete solar/battery systems to comply with requirements of regional governing bodies such as the U.S. Coast Guard, or the IALA Recommendations for the marking of fixed bridges over navigable waters

The lights are configured as complete solar/battery systems to comply with requirements of regional governing bodies such as the U.S. Coast Guard, or the IALA Recommendations for the marking of fixed bridges over navigable waters

In U.S. waters, the Coast Guard prescribes certain combinations of fixed lights for bridges and structures extending over waterways. In general, red lights are used to mark piers and supports, and green lights are used to mark the centerline of the navigable channel through a fixed bridge. Red lights are also used on lift bridges to indicate to vessel traffic that the lift is closed, and green lights are used to indicate that the lift is open. If there is more than one channel through the bridge, the preferred route is marked by three white lights placed vertically.

Double-opening swing bridges are lit with three lanterns on top of the span structure so that when viewed from an approaching vessel, the swing span will display three red lights when closed and two green lights when open.

Contact your local authorities, if you have any questions about bridge marking requirements in your region.
