Low energy GRP LED beacon on display at Oil and Gas Asia

According to E2S, its LED beacons use a multiple array of high power white Cree LEDs to offer significant advantages over traditional Xenon strobe technology in many applications. The typical light output level from the LED units is a bright 338 Effective Candela, higher than the 120 Effective Candela output of a 5J Xenon tube unit. E2S LED beacons have five flash rates for warning beacon uses: 1, 1.5 and 2Hz and double and triple flashes. They also have high and low power steady modes for status indicator uses – enhancing the typical life of more than 60,000 hours. DC voltage versions feature three remotely selectable stages enabling multiple warnings to be signalled from one device.

Manufactured from lightweight and cost effective glass-reinforced polyester (GRP), the GNEx range offers corrosion resistance for use in the harshest offshore and onshore environments. The UV stable polycarbonate lenses enhance the light output; they are available in amber, blue, clear, green, magenta, red and yellow. The lens filters are field replaceable, enabling the reassignment of beacon function to be a simple and quick process.

Also on show is the STEx stainless steel family, manufactured in 316L and 316 grade stainless steel to give enhanced corrosion resistance and extended operational life in hostile offshore environments. The latest transducer technology in both the sounders and beacons ensures high sound and light outputs with low current draw, reducing the host system’s power requirements and potentially lowering the size of the UPS back-up capacity.
