Daniamant Lifeboat & Liferaft Lights – SOLAS & MED Certified Safety

Buyer’s Guide: Lighting Systems and Emergency Gear for Lifeboats and Liferafts

Under IMO SOLAS Chapter III and the LSA (Life-Saving Appliances) Code, mandatory emergency lighting requirements apply across survival craft: motorized enclosed lifeboats require hardwired external and internal luminaires, inflatable liferafts require approved position lights, and both craft types must carry a waterproof Morse signalling torch in their emergency equipment pack.

1. Hardwired 12–24 V DC Systems: Daniamant SL-400, SL-450 & SL-500

• Daniamant SL-400 – External Flashing LED Light (Part no. 24-001A):
  SOLAS/MED-approved external position light for motorized lifeboats and MOB boats. Formerly produced by Jotron (part no. 86240), now manufactured by Daniamant. Connecting across 10–30 V DC, it outputs a high-intensity flashing white beam (>4.3 candela, 50–70 flashes/min) for at least 12 hours. Completely maintenance-free solid-state LED design supplied with 3 metres of marine-grade cable.
• Daniamant SL-450 – Low Profile Version (Part no. 24-301A):
  Delivers identical luminous output to the SL-400 in an ultra-low profile dome. Ideal for fast MOB boats and compact survival craft to prevent lines and rigging from snagging.
• Daniamant SL-500 – Interior Cabin Luminaire (Part no. 24-501A):
  Provides steady, glare-free white illumination (>0.5 cd, average 5.3 cd) inside enclosed survival craft. Operating on 10–30 V DC, its ultra-low current consumption protects emergency battery banks during extended standby.
• IMO Polar Code Certified down to −52 °C:
  Both the SL-400 and SL-500 are type-tested and certified to the IMO Polar Code, maintaining full mechanical and electrical integrity from −52 °C to +65 °C (−61.6 °F to +149 °F) for arctic cruise ships, icebreakers, and polar trade routes.

2. Daniamant ST-250 – Mandatory Signalling Torch for Lifeboats & Rafts (IMPA 330268)

The Daniamant ST-250 (Part no. 70-001A) is a rugged LED torch engineered specifically for the mandatory emergency equipment container in liferafts and lifeboats in compliance with SOLAS, the LSA Code, and ISO 18813.

• Morse Signalling Capability: Features a dedicated user button designed for manual Morse code signalling in survival scenarios, alongside steady light mode.
• Submersible & Waterproof (IP68): Pressure tested and watertight to a depth of 50 metres.
• Battery Powered: Operates on standard alkaline C-cells (LR14) for extended operational endurance.
• Genuine Spare Parts: We supply original replacement LED modules (Part no. 70-103) for routine maintenance and survey readiness.
