Lopolight Portable Navigation Light, Makita 18V, Orange Pelicase

Overview

The Lopolight 400-520-MAKITA is a battery-powered portable navigation light system housed in an orange Pelicase enclosure. Built for barges, unpowered vessels, and other marine applications where onboard electrical power is unavailable, it accommodates up to three Makita 18V 5.0Ah lithium-ion batteries and features an IP67-rated enclosure. Batteries are not included.

Three powerful magnets allow the unit to attach to suitable steel vessel surfaces without permanent wiring. An automatic daylight switch manages light operation as ambient conditions change, while the Lopolight K-Lock system allows compatible circular navigation lights to be exchanged for different signaling functions.

Key features

• Battery compatibility: Accommodates up to three Makita 18V 5.0Ah lithium-ion batteries, not included.

• IP67 protection: Waterproof Pelicase enclosure with an orange exterior for demanding marine environments.

• Magnetic mounting: Three powerful magnets arranged for attachment to suitable steel vessel surfaces.

• Automatic daylight switching: Controls navigation light operation based on ambient light levels, reducing unnecessary battery consumption.

• K-Lock interface: Supports interchangeable standard circular Lopolight navigation lights for different navigation and signaling functions.

• Sequential battery management: Uses installed battery packs in succession to simplify battery replacement and recharging.

• Battery status indicators: Front-mounted indicators identify which battery packs may require recharging.

Installation and operation

The magnetic mounting system allows the enclosure to be positioned on a suitable steel surface without installing a permanent electrical connection. This arrangement is particularly useful for barges and unmanned vessels requiring portable navigation lighting.

The daylight switch automatically turns the navigation light on or off as ambient illumination changes. Battery management operates the installed packs sequentially, allowing individual batteries to be replaced or recharged as needed. The K-Lock connection also accommodates compatible circular Lopolight light configurations, including port, starboard, stern, and specialized signaling lights.

Power and battery considerations

The enclosure accommodates three Makita 18V 5.0Ah lithium-ion battery packs. Batteries must be obtained separately. Actual operating time depends on the installed battery capacity, navigation light configuration, and operating conditions.
