This beacon can operate in remote, solar-powered locations, on unattended sites, without a lighthouse for protection, and requires maintenance no more than once a year.
More than 400 of these lanterns are in service around the world, with over 300 in North America.
The two key reasons for the success of this rotating beacon are the precision optics and the reliable rotating mechanism.
OPTICS
The VRB-25 optical panels were designed and manufactured by Vega to maximise the light collected from a 12 Volt, 100 Watt pre-focus marine lamp.
The lenses are moulded from optical-grade acrylic resin, and produce a beam of light that is very true and parallel - as shown in the photograph at right.
The challenge is to make all the beams with the same intensity. These lenses are accurately matched to within 5 of each other. Red and green coloured lenses are available, and the beacon is available in 6-panel and 8-panel versions.
