In a significant development for boat and yacht manufacturers, Seaview's innovative combination masthead/anchor light has officially received certification from the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) as compliant with the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) C-5 standards. This certification marks an important milestone for Seaview and provides a crucial benefit to manufacturers seeking NMMA certification for their vessels.

What Does This Certification Mean?

The ABYC C-5 standard specifies the requirements for navigation lights on boats and yachts, ensuring that they meet rigorous safety and visibility criteria. With Seaview's combination masthead/anchor light now certified, manufacturers can confidently integrate these lights into their designs, knowing they adhere to the highest industry standards.

NMMA Certification: A Key Advantage

The NMMA certification is a widely recognized benchmark in the marine industry, signifying that a product meets or exceeds the standards set by the ABYC. This not only ensures compliance with industry regulations but also enhances the marketability of their products, as NMMA certification is often a key consideration for consumers when choosing a boat or yacht.

Seaview's Certified Models: LTBLED12C5 and LTBLED12C5BLK

Seaview's combination masthead/anchor light is available in two models that have received NMMA ABYC C-5 certification:

• LTBLED12C5: This model features a white light housing, offering a sleek look that blends seamlessly with most boat designs.
• LTBLED12C5BLK: This model comes with a black light housing, providing a stylish and functional option for vessels with black electronics and mounting equipment.

Both models deliver the same high-performance lighting, ensuring optimal visibility and safety on the water, regardless of the vessel's design.

Why Choose Seaview's Masthead/Anchor Light?

Seaview has long been known for its commitment to quality and innovation in the marine industry. Their combination masthead/anchor light is designed with durability and functionality in mind, ensuring it can withstand the harsh marine environment while providing reliable performance. With the added benefit of the ABYC C-5 certification, Seaview's light is not only a top choice for safety but also a smart choice for manufacturers aiming for NMMA certification. Here are some key features and benefits of Seaview's masthead/anchor light:

• 3NM LED Combination Masthead All-Round Light: The light provides 360-degree visibility for up to 3 nautical miles, ensuring your vessel is seen from all angles, enhancing safety during night-time navigation or in low-visibility conditions.
• IP67 Watertight: Built to withstand the elements, the light's IP67 rating means it is completely protected against dust and can handle immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This ensures long-lasting performance even in the most challenging marine environments. The light's IP67 rating is supported by high-quality gaskets, which provide an additional layer of protection against water and dust ingress. This design detail ensures that the light remains watertight and functional, even in the harshest marine environments.
• 7' of Wire (12v): The light comes with 7 feet of 12-volt wire, offering ample length for easy installation on a wide range of vessels. The 12v configuration is standard for most marine electrical systems, ensuring compatibility and ease of integration.
• USCG Approved for Boats Up to 20 Meters (65.6') in Length: Seaview's masthead/anchor light is approved for use by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) for vessels up to 20 meters (65.6 feet) in length.
• Glass Lens: Unlike many competitors that use plastic lenses, Seaview's light features a high-quality glass lens, which offers superior clarity and resistance to yellowing over time. This ensures that the light remains bright and effective throughout its lifespan.
• Vent to Prevent Fogging: Seaview's masthead/anchor light is equipped with a vent system that actively prevents internal fogging, maintaining optimal light output even in humid or rapidly changing weather conditions. This feature is crucial for maintaining visibility and safety on the water.

With these features and differentiators, Seaview's combination masthead/anchor light stands out as a top-tier choice for any vessel. Whether you're focused on safety, compliance, durability, or ease of installation, Seaview delivers a solution that meets and exceeds industry standards, offering unmatched performance in the marine lighting market.
