Side light 2MN masthead or mast (White 225°) - Racing

The MANTAGUA 2MN masthead or mast side light (White 225°) - Racing is a navigation lighting solution designed specifically for the demands of offshore racing and high-performance sailing. This masthead light, emitting white light over a 225° arc, provides a visibility range of 2 nautical miles (NM), meeting safety standards while optimizing integration on vessels where every gram counts. With a weight of just 100 g and a power consumption of 1.6 W, it stands as a lightweight and energy-efficient alternative compared to traditional masthead lights or even standard MANTAGUA 2MN models, which weigh 155 g for a similar range. Its versatile 9 to 30 VDC power supply facilitates integration into various onboard electrical systems.

Performance Optimized for Racing

This MANTAGUA navigation light is distinguished by a performance-oriented design. Its low power consumption of 1.6 W, about 10 times less than a 15 W incandescent bulb, preserves battery autonomy—a major advantage in racing. The light intensity of over 5.4 Cd ensures visibility compliant with COLREG 72 regulations for a 2 NM range. The design integrates two LED boards with separate power supplies, a feature that underscores advanced engineering aimed at maximizing reliability and safety, even under the most extreme conditions. Its 100 g weight, significantly lower than other lights in its category, minimizes impact on the center of gravity and rigging, offering a non-negligible advantage in regattas.

Robust Design and Advanced Electronics

The durability of the MANTAGUA 2MN masthead or mast side light (White 225°) - Racing is ensured by high-quality materials. Made from anodized 6082 aluminum and fully encapsulated in epoxy resin, this light is unbreakable, highly shock-resistant, and insensitive to vibrations, guaranteeing a lifespan of 50,000 hours. Its IP67 waterproof rating effectively protects it against temporary immersion and the most demanding marine environments. The onboard electronics are designed not to interfere with AIS and VHF systems, ensuring optimal compatibility with modern communication and navigation equipment. Installation is simplified by the absence of polarity requirements, while regulated LEDs guarantee consistent light intensity and extended component durability.

Marine Compliance and Durability

The MANTAGUA 2MN masthead or mast side light (White 225°) - Racing is CE-certified and complies with COLREG 72 rules, as well as IEC60945 4th edition 2002-08, attesting to its conformity with international safety and performance requirements for marine equipment. Backed by a 2-year warranty, this light represents a reliable investment for demanding sailors. It aligns with the MANTAGUA navigation lighting solutions, recognized for their robustness and low power consumption, offering a high-performance alternative to classic masthead lights from competing brands like Hella Marine or Lopolight, distinguished by its design specifically optimized for racing.
