Selecting the right lantern
Pick the lantern by its function and sector: masthead 225°, starboard and port 112.5°, stern and towing 135°, all-round 360° or half-round screened 180°. Choose simplex where a single light source is sufficient and duplex where class or flag state requires duplicated navigation lights. The Ex zone 2 version TEF 2891 Simplex has the same lantern range. For larger vessels see the TEF 2870 navigation lights, and control all lanterns from the bridge with the TEF 4900 Commander.
