HORIZONTAL COMPETITION LIGHT - 2MN - Mast or Spreaders - White 225°

This light is an essential navigation device designed for safety at sea. Its primary function is to indicate the presence and direction of your vessel, particularly during nighttime navigation or in reduced visibility, by emitting a white light beam.

This MANTAGUA navigation light has a luminous range of 2 nautical miles (2NM). This range complies with current safety standards for vessels under 50 meters.

This light emits a white beam with a 225-degree beam angle. It is typically used as a masthead light or bow light to indicate the presence of the vessel forward.

The "competition" designation indicates that this light is designed with specific criteria for racing sailboats and demanding boats. This typically includes a lightweight design, increased robustness to withstand regatta stresses, and controlled energy consumption, crucial for onboard autonomy.

Yes, the MANTAGUA brand is known for the reliability of its marine equipment. This light is designed to be durable and withstand marine environmental stresses such as UV exposure, saltwater, and vibrations.

This light is ideally suited for racing sailboats and vessels requiring high performance and reliability. It complies with safety standards for vessels under 50 meters in length.

MANTAGUA navigation lights, particularly those in the "racing" range, typically use LED technology. This provides low power consumption, long service life, and excellent visibility.

Yes, with a range of 2 nautical miles, this light is designed to comply with international collision regulations (COLREG) for vessels under 50 meters when properly installed.

A 225° white light is primarily used as a masthead light or bow light. It provides visibility forward and to the sides (112.5° on each side of the longitudinal axis), allowing other vessels to determine your position and heading.

The product context does not specify whether an electrical cable is included. Typically, navigation lights are supplied with a short cable segment for connection, but the main power cable is not included and must be purchased separately according to the required length.

No, this is a horizontal white light with a 225° beam angle, designed for navigation. An anchor light must be a white light visible all around the horizon (360°), which this model does not provide.

This light is designed for flexible installation and can be mounted either on the masthead or the mast of your sailboat. This versatility allows it to adapt to various rigging configurations.

Installing a navigation light involves electrical connections and secure mounting at height. While the operation can be performed by an experienced sailor, it is recommended to call a professional to ensure correct, watertight installation in compliance with safety standards.

The product context does not specify whether mounting hardware is included. It is common for screws or other mounting elements specific to the mast or masthead type not to be provided and must be selected and purchased separately to suit your installation.

For wiring, it is crucial to use conductors with the appropriate cross-section to avoid voltage drops, to ensure watertight connections to prevent corrosion, and to protect the circuit with a suitable fuse. It is also important to respect polarity if the light is an LED model.

Manufacturers like MANTAGUA typically provide an installation manual or assembly diagrams with their products to guide the user. It is recommended to consult these documents before any installation.

Modern MANTAGUA LED navigation lights are generally designed to be compatible with a wide DC voltage range, typically from 10V to 30V DC. This makes them suitable for the 12V and 24V systems commonly found on boats.

Yes, this light can be installed on a powerboat if the visibility requirements (2NM) and the beam angle (225° white) comply with the applicable navigation regulations for your type and size of vessel. However, its designation "masthead" suggests a primary orientation toward sailboats.
