CR Control Systems - LED Marine Signal Lanterns, Lamp Changers and Related LED Marine Aids

CR Control Systems designs and manufactures marine aids for navigation lighting equipment, including marine signal lanterns, both incandescent and LED, LED retrofit lights, six-place lamp changers, programmable flashers, and related equipment to the offshore oil and gas industry. Our lights are US Coast Guard approved for classes A, B and C for the Gulf of Mexico and meet IALA recommendations. Our products are built in ISO9001-certified factories.

LED marine aids for navigational lighting equipment

All of our LED lights feature the advanced and very efficient optical technology of our patented side-emitting lens and LED heat sinking system, which assures a long operating life of the LEDs. This optical system simplifies and replaces the conventional ring of low-power LED systems with a single high-wattage LED in a 360° projecting lens. The lens produces highly uniform horizontal and vertical divergence. LED / lenses can be stacked to multiply the light intensity.

LED conversion modules for the offshore industry

The CR7000 LED conversion module is US Coast Guard approved for use on five-mile class A structures using a single LED. It simply mounts into the lens ring of a standard 155mm lantern base and includes the light head and electronics with a daylight control sensor, all in one compact unit.

It is a superior alternative to incandescent lanterns in the one to eight-mile peak-intensity visibility range, with lower power consumption yet greater vertical divergence.

Large LED marine signal lanterns

The CR5000 large self-contained LED lantern is a complete bolt-on light package that includes the light head, very efficient electronics with a daylight control sensor, up to four solar panels, three optional battery sizes, and offers up to a five to six-mile range of visibility.

Small LED light for marine aids to navigation

The CR2000 small self-contained LED lantern is a technically advanced, yet simple to use LED self-contained light for marine aids to navigation. It offers up to three-mile effective intensity visibility, contains four solar panels, a battery, LED drive circuitry with flash rhythm selection for up to 256 rhythms, and a light sensor to turn the light off during daylight periods.

LED self-contained marine light

CR1300 LED self-contained marine light includes a solar panel and a large-capacity lead acid AGM battery, offering well in excess of the 30 days of autonomy for one to two-mile class C structures with 60 flashes per minute as required by the US Coast Guard. Our smaller CR1000 offers a smaller package size with the same solar panel but with smaller, fewer days of autonomy battery.

Lamp changers

Our six-place lamp changers (2086A/B/BLR) are appreciated by our customers worldwide for design simplicity, reliability and lamp-positioning accuracy, and consistency. Our many models include switching of lamp position by external source or by self-switching circuitry, and high-wattage and low-wattage lamp versions.
