SM-3 Marker Light

    
The SM-3 is the replacement for the venerable SM-2 featuring a high intensity LED strobe which provides 360° visibility for approximately 2 miles. This compact yet durable marker light facilitates rescue by automatically activating and beginning to strobe when in the water, working for over 40 hours at 30^oC (86^oF) or over 24 hours at -1^oC (30^oF) on two common AA size lithium batteries. Perfect for military, commercial marine, petro-marine, cruisers, and other applications needing a reliable Crew Overboard Marker (COB) light, the SM-3 floats upright in all conditions, ensuring it will keep shining when you need it the most.

The supplied mounting bracket holds the SM-3 secure in the roughest of conditions, but is readily accessible when needed in an emergency. Additionally, while the SM-3 and its bracket are significantly smaller and lighter than the SM-2 counterpart, the SM-3 bracket conveniently maintains the same mounting hole pattern as the SM-2, allowing for easy retrofit on existing SM-2 installations. Rugged design leads to greater flexibility of use. While the SOLAS standard 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 a variety of platforms or vessels of different sizes; including use as an air deploy-able marker light for helicopter operations.
