Range lights are normally used in pairs to guide vessels along channels.
When viewed the light beam of one lantern appears directly above the other. One lantern is installed at a given point. The other is located at a distance behind and at a higher level and in line with the intended channel centreline. Often the lanterns are synchronised.Careful consideration must be given when designing the height and position of range lights. [Click on the image for additional information]
