Directional Lanterns

Why Use Directional Lanterns?

Directional lanterns offer targeted illumination, concentrating light where it is needed most. In narrow channels, harbor approaches, or complex waterways, the precise beam helps vessels align correctly and avoid hazards. Because light is focused rather than dispersed, directional units can often achieve higher effective intensity in their intended direction while reducing interference with adjacent aids.
Moreover, when multiple directional lanterns are coordinated,whether through synchronization or linked control systems, they can define safe alignment paths or guiding beams across structures. This coordinated approach simplifies navigational cues and reduces ambiguity for vessels approaching from various angles.

Why Choose Tideland Signal’s Directional Lanterns?

Tideland Signal’s directional lanterns combine optical precision, robustness, and system compatibility. Their lens and reflector assemblies are optimized for delivering sharp beams with minimal divergence in selected sectors. LED sources and efficient power management allow for high-intensity projection with modest energy consumption.
Built with marine-grade materials and corrosion-resistant finishes, these lanterns are suited to withstand offshore and coastal environments. Some models are available with hazardous-area certified enclosures for use in Ex zones. Their integration flexibility means they can be incorporated into existing AtoN networks, synchronized with other lanterns, or monitored remotely to ensure consistent performance.

When you choose Tideland Signal’s directional lanterns, you gain beam-accurate, dependable lighting that enhances navigational safety in critical channels and routes.
