Three color tungsten lamp LED? Stop the British Maritime bureau!

[LED] British Maritime and coastal relief agency (MCA) recently issued a notice requiring boat and ship owners do not put the traditional three color tungsten lamp into a white light LED lamp.

If the three color navigation lights into LED lights, the insurance company may cause the problem of insurance. According to the association of navigation standards and technical services team (RATS), said the use of embedded color lamp designed for the use of filament bulbs, not suitable for the use of LED bulbs, and therefore, if an accident may result in insurance is not paid.

White LED is unable to issue the required wavelength to properly illuminate the red and green parts, and that is because the light emitted is not in conformity with the provisions of the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

In addition, the tungsten filament lamp uses a single vertical filament as the light source, and the LED bulb's luminous angle exceeds the 2 degree limit between the three color navigation lights. The front of the ship is so difficult to identify from the distant sea level to other ships, and the overlapping light creates strange colors.

However, this problem does not affect the design of the installation of LED bulb navigation lights. The British Maritime and coastal Rescue Bureau has issued a corresponding specification announcement, stressed the above problems and warned the owners not to switch on the traditional tungsten lamp holder LED white light bulb. Sailing Association norms and technical service team in September 11th has been in Southampton boat exhibition display, navigation lights installed white LED bulbs (LED / China translation field network Emmachang)
