Lanterns replace rotating beacon in Irish lighthouse

摘要

The Commissioners of Irish Lights have chosen two MaxLED-600 lanterns from Tideland Signal to replace a PRB rotating beacon with incandescent lamps in its Straw Island lighthouse because of the MaxLED's compact, low consumption design, which makes it ideally suited to the limited solar power supply available given the restrictions of the site.rnStraw Island is in the Aran Islands, off Galway Bay.The lighthouse is located on a small island at the entrance to Killeany Harbour near the south-eastern end of Inishmore.
