Life Buoy Light

Life Buoy Light | Water-Activated Emergency Strobe Light | SOLAS Certified Marine Distress Signal Light

Product Description:

Ensure maximum visibility in marine emergencies with our SOLAS-certified Life Buoy Light. Designed for use on lifebuoys and life jackets aboard sea vessels, this essential safety device automatically activates upon water contact, emitting a high-intensity flashing distress signal to aid in rapid location and rescue operations. Featuring an intelligent automatic switch within its battery unit, the light remains off during storage and instantly illuminates when immersed in water—leveraging water’s conductivity to complete the circuit and activate the powerful strobe.

To maintain readiness, life buoys are typically stored on deck outboard in an inverted position, ensuring immediate activation when deployed. Our life buoy lights are available in both seawater-activated battery and dry battery configurations, providing reliable performance when every second counts.

Activation Principles:

Seawater Battery Type: Activates when seawater enters the chemical battery chamber, creating an electrochemical reaction that powers the light
Dry Battery Type: Uses gravity-based switching mechanisms where a small weight completes the circuit when the device is upright
Combination Units: Integrated with smoke signals using cable-activated micro switches or internal weight-controlled activation systems
