HORISONTAALNE KAHE MIILI KAVALT PUNANE TULE - vasakpools 112,5° - Babord Rouge

A port navigation light is a mandatory navigation light emitting a red beam over a 112.5-degree arc, visible from the bow to 22.5 degrees behind the beam on the port (left) side of the vessel. Its primary function is to indicate the presence and direction of a vessel to other maritime users, in compliance with collision-avoidance rules (COLREGs).

This MANTAGUA Compétition navigation light has a regulatory luminous range of 2 nautical miles (2NM). This range ensures the vessel remains visible at a sufficient distance for other sea users.

This horizontal light is specifically a port-side light, so it emits a red light in accordance with international maritime signaling standards.

This port-side navigation light emits a beam over an arc of 112.5 degrees. This angle is specifically designed to cover the forward and port-side area of the vessel, as required by maritime regulations.

This light is specifically designed for sailboats and vessels requiring high-performance lighting signaling. Its "Competition" designation indicates it is suited for demanding marine environments or applications where performance is critical.

The 'Competition' designation means this light is distinguished by increased robustness and reliability. It involves the use of components resistant to corrosion, impacts, and vibrations, ensuring a long lifespan and minimal maintenance, unlike standard leisure lights.

Yes, this light is designed to ensure a regulatory visibility of 2 nautical miles and complies with international maritime safety standards, including COLREG (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea) requirements for vessel signaling.

This navigation light must be installed horizontally, typically on the bow (forward) or on the port side of the vessel, to comply with COLREG requirements and ensure optimal visibility without obstruction.

Installing navigation equipment must be done carefully to ensure compliance with regulations and safety at sea. It is recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions provided with the product closely or to have a qualified professional handle the electrical installation and mounting.

Although specific materials are not detailed, the "Compétition" designation implies the use of high-quality components resistant to corrosion, shocks, and vibrations, ensuring optimal durability in demanding marine environments.

No, this light is specifically a port-side light and emits a red light. A starboard light must emit a green light and is intended for the right side of the vessel. Using a port-side light instead of a starboard light would not comply with maritime regulations and could cause confusion.

Yes, this light is designed for the marine environment, meaning it is corrosion-resistant and suited to demanding conditions. It is therefore perfectly suitable and performs well for use both at sea and in freshwater.

The difference between a horizontal light and a vertical light lies in their mounting orientation and light emission. A horizontal light, like this model, is designed to be mounted with its light axis parallel to the vessel's waterline, whereas a vertical light is mounted with its axis perpendicular. This MANTAGUA light is a horizontal type.

Navigation lights are generally supplied with pre-installed connection wires for connecting to the vessel's electrical system. However, the complete wiring required for integration into your vessel's electrical installation is not included and must be provided by the installer.

By emitting a red light visible over 2 nautical miles on the port side, this light ensures clear identification of the vessel's position and heading at night. This signaling is crucial for collision avoidance by allowing other sea users to determine the vessel's course and type, thereby enhancing overall navigation safety.

Yes, MANTAGUA's "Competition" range is specifically designed for robustness and durability in marine environments. This includes excellent resistance to weather, shocks, vibrations, and generally good UV resistance to prevent material degradation and maintain luminous efficiency.

The "Competition" designation from MANTAGUA indicates a design focused on longevity and reliability. Thanks to the use of corrosion-, shock-, and vibration-resistant components, this light is engineered to provide a long service life and minimal maintenance, even in the most demanding marine environments.

The 2 nautical mile range of this light complies with regulatory requirements for vessels of a certain size, typically under 20 meters. For larger vessels, regulations may require navigation lights with a greater luminous range.

The "Competition" series is designed for minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning of the lens is usually sufficient to remove salt, dirt, or marine deposits and ensure optimal visibility of the light. It is important not to use abrasive products that could damage the lens.
