Position lantern: LED power saver for retrofittingPhoto: Hersteller
The new LED dual-colour lantern from Hella Marine consumes less than 2 watts
Hella has added the two-colour LED lantern to the Navi LED pro series. The new model is ideal for converting from bulb technology

With the Navi-LED-pro series, Hella Marine was one of the first suppliers of LED navigation lights with BSH approval. However, a dual-colour lantern was previously missing. In contrast to conventional technology, it consumes just as much energy as separate lamps, but it simplifies the conversion from incandescent lamp technology, as only one bracket and one cable are required.

The Navi-LED-pro has a range of two nautical miles, works with 9 to 33 volts and requires less than 2 watts of power. It is fully moulded and waterproof to IP 67. You can choose between a black or white housing. The price is around 130 euros, which makes the two-colour lantern cheaper than separate port and starboard poses.
