Raft light is an important safety equipment, mainly used at night or in low light environment to indicate the position of life rafts, help rescue workers quickly find people and life rafts in the water.Raft lights are widely used in all kinds of ships and lifesaving equipment, especially in the vessels that often need to work at night. They are capable of providing effective visual guidance in bad weather and low visibility conditions to ensure smooth rescue operations .
Emergency Lighting for Reliable Maritime Survival Visibility The JIEXI External Raft Light is a vital life-saving tool providing bright and consistent lighting for life rafts in maritime emergencies. Automatically activated upon water contact, it delivers immediate illumination, aiding night-time rescues and increasing survival rates. Designed to meet SOLAS requirements, this unit operates reliably in harsh marine environments with no manual activation needed.
Marine-Grade Construction and Long-Term Functionality Equipped with high-intensity white LEDs and powered by a sealed battery, the raft light functions for 12+ hours. Its watertight, corrosion-resistant casing withstands exposure to salt, waves, and cold, making it suitable for commercial vessels, tankers, and offshore platforms. This rugged construction ensures visibility even in stormy seas or when installed alongside thermocouple and pressure detection systems.
Simple Integration and Certified Safety Performance This raft light easily mounts on most life rafts and functions independently. Its activation mechanism requires no external wiring or switches. Certified for SOLAS compliance, it is factory-tested for brightness, battery life, and water-resistance. Its visibility supports faster response during rescues and works seamlessly with broader evacuation or sensor-triggered systems.
Product Advantages
Automatic Illumination Activation Activates on water contact without manual input, ensuring immediate visibility during emergency deployments. This reduces risk during critical abandonment moments where time and clarity are crucial. The feature is essential in ensuring the light is operational even if the crew is disoriented or separated. The ability to operate instantly upon raft launch gives the JIEXI raft light a critical edge over traditional manually activated systems and improves the chances of detection in low-visibility rescues.
Reliable Light Duration and Marine Durability Delivers over 12 hours of operation in harsh maritime conditions with waterproof and pressure-resistant housing. The battery system is designed to hold charge even in cold environments. Whether stored for months or deployed suddenly, it retains its full lighting capability. The outer shell prevents moisture intrusion, while internal circuitry is protected against short-circuit or corrosion. This ensures long-term usability and maximum reliability during long voyages or unexpected emergencies.
SOLAS-Compliant and Universally Compatible Certified for international marine use, it fits most rafts and supports thermocouple-triggered emergency workflows. This includes compatibility with vessel evacuation plans, smart safety systems, and various deployment mechanisms. Its universal design reduces inventory complexity for shipowners and ensures safety uniformity across vessel fleets. From container ships to fishing vessels, the JIEXI raft light serves as a trusted and compliant emergency lighting solution.
Use Scenarios
Abandon Ship Emergency Raft Deployment Quickly guides rescuers to deployed life rafts at night, increasing visibility and detection range during emergencies. When life rafts are launched into the sea, especially in chaotic weather, the automatic activation ensures rescuers can spot survivors even in vast darkness. It serves as a key visual point during helicopter rescues or search vessel approaches. This function dramatically improves the safety margin in man-overboard or ship evacuation situations.
Survival Equipment Testing and Drills Ideal for safety drills, enabling clear equipment marking under simulated low-visibility scenarios. Crew training exercises can simulate full deployment scenarios with real-time raft light activation, providing feedback for visibility standards and reaction protocols. It helps safety officers evaluate system readiness and crew efficiency. Integrating the JIEXI light during drills ensures familiarity with the equipment and its visual signature in operational settings.
Sensor-Based Safety Systems Complements thermocouples or pressure-based triggers for automated safety and survival system activation. In smart vessels, it can be used alongside monitoring systems that automatically launch rafts or trigger alerts. When paired with pressure drops or high-temperature readings, the light ensures the visual part of the emergency system is immediate and effective. This enhances situational awareness for both crew and external responders, forming a complete and responsive safety ecosystem.
