Marine Safety Light Standards

All marine safety lights must meet USCG and SOLAS visibility standards to be legal for offshore and night use. Look for waterproof ratings of IP67 or higher, long battery life, and auto-activation features for MOB (man overboard) scenarios.

Choose LED strobes with 360° beam coverage and high-candela output for maximum visibility in rough seas or heavy fog.

Reminder

Always test strobe and personal lights before departure. Replace alkaline or lithium batteries annually, and store backup waterproof lights in your emergency kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best light for overboard emergencies?
A SOLAS-approved distress strobe or auto-activated PFD light provides the brightest visibility and fastest detection in MOB situations.
