Quality Construction

 With it's simple design and sturdy construction, the acrylic fresnel lens and hinge are formed from a single piece injection molding incorporating 38 optical elements. The lens transmits more light in the horizontal plane — and throughout the 360^o azimuth—than a 200 mm pressed glass lens. The lens attaches to the base through an integral hinge and six-point fasteners, providing easy access to the interior. A molded, watertight lens-to-base seal effectively weather-proofs the interior of the lantern.

Flasher/Lampchangers

The ML-155 uses standard marine lamps and accommodates most flasher/lampchangers, including Tideland's TF-3B MicroPower OMNIBUS ® II six-place flasher/lampchanger.

The TF-3B MicroPower OMNIBUS II flasher/lampchanger operates on 9 to 36 VDC and flashes single-contact prefocused marine lamps to any of 256 user-selectable codes. It contains the OMNIBUS II flasher/timer card, a general light beacon controller and functions as a simple timer as well as a fully functional flasher/timer circuit. As a simple timer, it is capable of generating a flash code signal and supports a synchronisation of the flash code with other similar units. As a flasher/timer, it replaces the standard MicroPower OMNIBUS and Syncrostat ™ controller with additional functionality such as built-in solar charge regulator, Lamp Power Control and external monitoring and control via Tideland's NavLink ® system.
