Solar & Wind Powered Navigation Warning Light (Lonako) – Self-Contained LED Beacon 11.5 cm

The Lonako solar & wind powered warning light is an innovative solution for enhancing safety at sea. This self-sufficient navigation beacon is designed to clearly mark the position of vessels and other objects without requiring any external electrical connection. Its built-in battery is continuously recharged by a combination of solar energy during the day and a miniature wind generator that captures even a light breeze at night. As a result, the device has power around the clock and is always ready to operate – a key advantage during long voyages or when a boat is left at anchor for extended periods.

The Lonako light automatically activates at dusk or when visibility decreases, emitting a bright flashing LED signal that alerts nearby boats. This significantly reduces the risk of collisions in darkness or fog by making your vessel visible from afar. An intelligent photosensor system turns the beacon off at dawn or when ambient light improves, conserving energy. Adding to its convenience are the multiple operating modes – beyond the standard flash, you can select a steady light mode (useful as an anchor light, for example) or an SOS flashing pattern in case of emergency. Switching modes is simple using a button on the unit, and some versions support a wireless remote control for even greater ease of use.

The Lonako warning light stands out for its portability and versatility: it requires no complex installation or wiring. Its compact size (about 11.5 cm tall) and light weight mean you can deploy it wherever needed – quickly attach it to a rail, mast, cabin top, or even a life buoy using an appropriate bracket or holder. The rugged housing is built to withstand harsh weather and wave impacts. Quality seals keep water, dust, and salt out, ensuring reliable operation in rain, stormy conditions, and extreme temperatures.

• Enhanced visibility & safety: The Lonako light is designed to meet international standards for navigation signals. The flashing white LED is visible from a long distance and effectively warns other vessels of your presence. This is particularly useful during night passages, in foggy conditions, or while anchored in busy waterways or shipping lanes.
• Energy independence: Forget about replacing batteries or running out of power – the combined solar and wind charging keeps the light running continuously. Even in overcast weather or polar nights, the internal battery has enough capacity to operate through the dark hours, especially if there was sunlight or wind during the day to top it up.
• Easy setup & relocation: No wiring is required – the unit operates autonomously. You can mount or place it temporarily or permanently wherever needed: clip it to the boat as a supplemental navigation light, attach it to a life raft canopy, or fix it onto a buoy to mark a hazard or boundary. If you change boats or want to use it elsewhere, simply take the light with you – it’s as easy as installing a flashlight.
• Multipurpose functionality: In addition to boats and yachts, the Lonako warning light is excellent for static applications. Use it to mark the end of a marina dock, a floating platform, bridge pylons, or other structures in the water. It also serves well as an emergency light – for example, if your boat’s main navigation lights fail, the Lonako can act as a backup to ensure you’re seen.
• Reliability & durability: Built from high-quality, UV-resistant and corrosion-proof materials, this beacon is made for the marine environment. It requires minimal maintenance (just occasionally cleaning the solar panel and wind rotor of salt and debris) to keep running efficiently. The device is engineered to operate in a wide temperature range, making it suitable for both hot tropical climates and cold winter conditions. Whenever you need a dependable warning signal, the Lonako solar/wind light will deliver.
