ACR 3947 SM-3 SOLAS Lifebuoy Marker Light

The SM-3 SOLAS lifebuoy light with a minimum light intensity of 3 candelas throughout its entire operating life, this high intensity LED strobe marks a crew-overboard site with each brilliant flash.

It automatically rights itself and activates when in the water, ensuring that activation is never an issue that a crew member in distress needs to worry about.

The SM-3 operates on 2 AA Lithium batteries, and the batteries are user-replaceable, allowing the potential for a longer product life than the many disposable lifebuoy lights on the market.

The supplied mounting bracket holds the SM-3 secure in the roughest of conditions but it is still readily accessible when needed in an emergency.

Additionally, while the SM-3 and its bracket are significantly smaller than the SM-2 counterparts, the SM-3 bracket conveniently maintains the same mounting hole pattern as the SM-2, allowing for easy retrofit with no additional adapter plate required.

The SM-3 is USCG/MED/SOLAS approved for use worldwide. This durable LED marker light, therefore, provides an excellent option for vessels needing to meet USCG and SOLAS carriage requirements for lifebuoy self-igniting lights.

As per USCG and SOLAS requirements for passenger and cargo vessels, at least one-half of the total number of lifebuoys on the vessel must be fitted with a self-igniting light. Minimum carriage requirements are based on the vessel's length and can range from a minimum of four to a minimum of fifteen lifebuoys with self-igniting lights per vessel.

Rugged design leads to greater flexibility of use. While the SOLAS approval only calls for a 30-meter drop test, the SM-3 has been drop tested to 76 meters.

This makes the SM-3 a versatile option for use on various platforms or vessels of different sizes.

With its easily replaceable Lithium AA battery power source, the SM-3 will give years of service and be ready when called upon.
