Product Overview

The Widewings WEC-SML260 Solar LED Marine Lantern is a fully self-sufficient (off-grid) marine navigation aid that charges its storage battery from four low-light, high-efficiency solar panels. Its charging and discharging use a proprietary power management system that comprehensively protects the battery under various conditions such as low voltage, over-voltage, and temperature.

The control circuit adopts an ultra-low-power control chip that greatly reduces standby power consumption, and the enclosure is made of aircraft-grade aluminum die-casting, making it lightweight yet excellent in corrosion resistance and convenient to install and transport. The LED colors comply with the IALA Recommendations E-200-1 requirements, and 350 flash characters can be selected.
