Award winning illumination

UK-based deck hardware and safety equipment specialist Spinlock will be showing its award winning Lume-On lifejacket illumination at Seawork. Taking advantage of modern LED technology, Spinlock Lume-On are tiny LED lights that can be attached to the lifejacket bladder, turning the whole lifejacket into a glowing light.

With the lifejacket bladder then acting like a large ‘diffuser’ of light, the MOB (man overboard) becomes even more visible, the florescent bladder forming a mass of light. Sold in pairs, minimal, compact and lightweight, Lume-On are attached to the underside of the lifejacket bladder using special adhesive patches. Once the lifejacket inflates and the Lume-On sensors contact water, the LED lights become illuminated, flashing and filling the bladder with light. Not only do Lume-On work alongside standard lifejacket lights in identifying a MOB from a distance, Lume-On are particularly effective in guiding in a rescue craft. As the MOB1 rides around in the waves, the large body of light really gives some focus to the rescuer, due to the larger mass of light.

As well as its new SOLAS lifejacket, Spinlock will be debuting its expanding commercial range of inflatable lifejackets at Seawork 2016 which includes the new Duro 170N and 275N. Approved to ISO12402, Duro is designed specifically for those working on or near water who require a comfortable, lightweight, close fitting lifejacket, designed to withstand the demands of tough environments. Based on its award winning lifejacket range, Duro features extra durable cover materials for a long life, over a Lightweight, low profile, compact design, with easy side donning. Double crotch straps with recessed clips reduce the risk of snagging, and a clipping area for PLB / VHF, clear pocket for identification card, attachment point for Chest Pouch and company name branding are all standard features on both 170N and 275N Duro versions.
