PA6 Series

Simple and reliable 12 volt automatic 6 place lamp replacement.

Options

  • Variable lamp warning indicator.
  • PA6B 10 amp version for halogen use.
  • PA6C above 10 amps.
  • Available for 6 volt systems.
  • AC/DC version.

 

The PA6 lampchanger is supplied by Pelangi for use in most marine lanterns and is also approved for use in Div II factory approved lanterns.

  • Covered by U.S. patent no. 3.308.338
  • Locates the filament focal centre both horizontally and vertically within 0.8mm providing the brightest possible light.
  • May be mounted in any position and not be adversely affected by the normal shock and vibrations encountered in buoy service.
  • The enclosure is fabricated using sea-water resistant cast alloy AL239 and coated in red epoxy making it corrosion resistant.
  • Gold plated contacts and stainless steel hardware to resist salt laden environments.
  • No shadowing 52° down from horizontal to maximise emitted light.
  • Lightweight at only 860 grams.
  • Injection moulded high strength plastic turret designed to be lightweight but durable.
  • Compatible with ProFlash and most flashers capable of controlling solenoid operated lampchangers.
  • Lamp turret supports either six S-8, S-11 or halogen lamps complete with pre-focus P15s/19 collars.
  • Meets or exceeds the requirements of U.S. Coastguard specifications numbers 195 (PA6A) and 472 (PA6B) including vibration test at 5G’s and shock test at 20G’s.
