Forespar WL-1 Floating Strobe LED Water Light | MPN: 205102
Enhance your vessel’s safety readiness with the Forespar WL-1 Floating Strobe LED Water Light (Part Number: 205102). Engineered specifically for Man Overboard (MOB) recovery systems, this compact, high-intensity LED strobe light attaches directly to horseshoe buoys, life rings, and rescue poles to mark a person in the water during nighttime emergencies.
Designed to deploy instantly, the WL-1 features a gravity-activated switch system: when stored upright in its included mounting bracket, the light remains turned off. When deployed into the water, the self-righting flotation collar instantly flips the light right-side up, activating the powerful 360-degree white LED strobe. Its bright, repeating flash alerts crew members and search vessels from miles away, significantly shortening recovery times in dark or rough sea conditions.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Automatic Gravity Activation: Turns on automatically when flipped right-side up in the water and turns off when stored upside-down in its bracket, conserving battery life.
-
Ultra-Bright White LED Strobe: Projects a high-intensity 360° flash pattern designed to cut through dark sea conditions, waves, and spray.
-
Self-Righting Buoyant Design: Integrated float collar ensures the light remains upright and floating above the surface for maximum visual range.
-
Durable Waterproof Construction: Built with heavy-duty, UV-resistant marine-grade polymers to withstand continuous offshore exposure, UV breakdown, and saltwater corrosion.
-
Convenient Battery Operation: Uses standard user-replaceable alkaline batteries (no hazardous material shipping fees or specialized battery replacements required).
-
Compact Footprint & Bracket Included: Comes complete with a low-profile mounting bracket for quick installation on stern pulpits, lifelines, or cabin bulkheads.

A: The light operates on standard off-the-shelf alkaline batteries, making maintenance easy and affordable without needing proprietary battery packs.
