ABSTRACT:
A marine safety light for maximizing a boat's visibility to other boaters during darkness and inclement weather conditions consisting of a LED array which consists of a plurality of LEDs arranged in a star configuration. The LED array preferably consists of six white LEDs evenly spaced in the horizontal plane and positioned within a fresnel lens such that an even omni-directional distribution of light is emitted. LED array is powered using a power circuit which includes two conventional DC to DC converters which regulate the output voltage, allowing the marine light to operate at a constant brightness for a substantial period of time on a conventional 1.5 volt power source. Further, the power circuit automatically shuts the marine safety light off when sufficient ambient light is available and provides a continuous flashing signal when the power source is low.
