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 standard (safe area) version TEF 2890 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.
