Unlike standard navigation lights, it does not by itself indicate the course, port sector, starboard sector, or stern. It is used for special signaling in situations or on vessels for which this type of signal is prescribed and permitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection includes Mantagua beacon lights visible in 360°, available in blue or orange. The choice depends primarily on the color permitted for the intended use, the required range, the mounting position, and the electrical integration on board. Before installation, always verify the applicable rules for the vessel, its mission, and its operating area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlue or orange: choose according to permitted use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/mantagua-gyrophare-bleu-2mn-360deg-marin\" title=\"Mantagua blue beacon light 2MN 360° marine\"\u003eMantagua blue beacon light 2MN 360°\u003c\/a\u003e is intended for uses where blue signaling is prescribed. In many areas, blue is reserved for specific services, such as authorities, rescue, police, customs, pilotage, or authorized units.

Again, the beacon light does not replace standard navigation or anchor lights: it supplements signaling when the operational context allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRange, visibility, and location\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e360° visibility is critical for a beacon light. The light must be installed where it is not obscured by the mast, arch, antennas, helm station, tender, or deck equipment. A stated range is only useful if the light is actually visible in all required directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe range in nautical miles must be chosen based on the vessel and the situation. A 2MN version provides greater visibility than a 1MN version, but range alone does not solve everything. A beacon light that is too low, hidden by structure, or poorly oriented will be less effective than a less powerful light that is correctly positioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eElectrical integration on board\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beacon light must be wired as a critical signaling device: identified circuit, appropriate protection, clear control, and watertight connections. The wide-input models facilitate integration on 12 V or 24 V systems, but you must verify the actual voltage available, cable cross-section, run length, and ground or negative return quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe control must be explicit at the electrical panel. If the vessel already has navigation lights, masthead lights, anchor lights, or combined lights, the beacon light must remain separate in the crew's mind. It must not be activated by mistake instead of a regulated light, nor left on in a situation that does not justify it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRegulated use and limits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeacon lights are not standard navigation lights. Their use may be strictly regulated, particularly by color, vessel type, mission, and area. Before installing or using a blue or orange beacon light, verify the applicable rules with the competent authority, flag state, fleet manager, or vessel safety officer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beacon light does not correct an incomplete navigation light installation. If the vessel lacks a side light, stern light, masthead light, or anchor light, this regulatory function must be addressed first. The beacon light is used as a supplement to signal a particular situation or specific mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComplementary collections\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo complete the lighting installation, see the \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/collections\/feux-de-navigation\" title=\"Boat navigation lights\"\u003enavigation lights\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/collections\/feux-lateraux\" title=\"Boat side lights\"\u003eside lights\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/collections\/feux-de-poupe\" title=\"Boat stern lights\"\u003estern lights\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/collections\/feux-de-hune\" title=\"Boat masthead lights\"\u003emasthead lights\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/collections\/feux-de-mouillage\" title=\"Boat anchor lights\"\u003eanchor lights\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/collections\/stroboscopique\" title=\"Boat strobe lights\"\u003estrobe lights\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/collections\/controle-feux\" title=\"Boat light control and monitoring\"\u003elight control systems\u003c\/a\u003e.
