Enhance Your Vessel´s Safety with the PLASTIMO Floating Lifebuoy Light

Ensure the highest level of safety and visibility during a man overboard (MOB) emergency with the PLASTIMO Floating Lifebuoy Light. An indispensable piece of equipment for any responsible mariner, this high-performance light is engineered to provide immediate, reliable, and brilliant illumination in the most challenging marine conditions. Designed for automatic activation upon contact with water, it serves as a critical beacon, guiding rescue efforts directly to the location of the lifebuoy and, most importantly, to the person in the water.

Uncompromised Visibility When It Matters Most

In a rescue situation, every second counts, and visibility is paramount. The PLASTIMO lifebuoy light is designed to maximize the chances of a swift and successful recovery. It features a powerful, high-intensity bulb that cuts through darkness, spray, and foul weather. A key feature is its full 360° arc of visibility, ensuring the light can be seen from any direction by the crew on the vessel or by nearby search and rescue teams. This all-around illumination eliminates blind spots and significantly increases the search radius, making it a superior choice for open-water safety.

Automatic, Reliable, and Built for the Marine Environment

Simplicity and reliability are at the core of this light´s design. The unit activates automatically when it is in its upright, floating position in the water, removing any need for manual operation during a high-stress emergency. Its robust, waterproof casing is built to withstand the harsh realities of the marine environment, from saltwater corrosion to impacts. This durable construction ensures the light remains operational and ready for deployment at a moment´s notice, providing peace of mind on every voyage.

The light is also designed with environmental consciousness and user convenience in mind. It is operated without mercure, simply with alcaline batteries, R20 type. This mercury-free design is a safer choice for the marine ecosystem, and the use of common R20 batteries means replacements are easy to find and install, ensuring your safety equipment is always ready.
