The FA-249 LED RF-14 Marine Lantern is a rugged, compact and lightweight signal lantern particularly suited for buoys, fixed platforms, bridges, barges, low-powered warning lights and others.
Adapted from the original FA-249 marine lantern due to its widespread use and excellent reputation as a buoy lantern, this state of the art LED system is constructed to withstand the mechanical stresses of service on buoys and includes a number of features designed to endure harsh marine elements while maintaining structural integrity and reducing the need for maintenance.
