In a man-overboard situation at night, a person in the water is nearly invisible without illumination. SOLAS requires every lifejacket on international voyages to carry an approved light — and there are two main technologies to choose from.
Water-activated lights switch on automatically when immersed, removing any reliance on a possibly injured or panicked casualty. They are the preferred choice for passenger vessels and crews working exposed decks.
Battery units like the YBA1 alkaline lifejacket light in tulip yellow-white offer long shelf life and simple battery replacement during annual lifejacket inspections, keeping through-life costs predictable for large fleets.
Sea Keepers stocks both types with SOLAS-MED approval. Combined with our lifebuoys, liferaft accessories, and fireproof lifelines, operators can complete an entire LSA inspection cycle through one supplier.
For the business buyer
Confirm the intended vessel or facility, operating environment, quantity and required approval before requesting a quotation. Capacity, coverage and service interval should be matched to the risk rather than selected by headline price.
For technical experts
Verify the delivered model against the maker reference, rating, dimensions, materials, operating limits and certification scope. Record the serial or batch number and retain the manufacturer datasheet, declaration, test report and maintenance instructions in the vessel file.
Product comparison
Compare alternatives on certified performance, compatibility, installation requirements, inspection interval, spares availability and total life-cycle cost. A lower unit price is not a like-for-like comparison when approval documents or service support differ.
