The L8-5 is a U.S. Coast Guard approved water-activated LED survivor locator light that is approved for use on life vests or life preservers to indicate the location of survivors in water as a result of a marine related accident or distress situation. The lamp and lens combo of the L8-5 produce a powerful light that will last for a minimum of 8 hours after activation with a minimum light intensity of 1 cd. Throughout its entire operational life, the light will continuously output a steady white light to clearly indicate a survivor’s location and increase the probability of rescue.
