All in a Shell

VEGA VLB 67 and Cone Top Mark

Can shaped Top mark with inbulit Radar reflector

Top Marks, Special Marks and Day Marks

 

 Through MOBILIS we can suppy a range of Top Marks, Special Marks and Day Marks.

These are used on new installations in their own right but also in the refurbishing of existing marks, buoys or other AtoNs.

There is a range of PE marks with inbuilt radar reflectors, as well a the range in marine grade aluminium.

All In A Shell,   has recently installed the entry lights to the new Pier in Greystones, Co Wicklow.

This large building project is regrettably not completed but at least now, the new harbour area has a well marked entry from the sea. 

We have used the VEGA VLB 67 LS 2 lanterns with GPS Synchronisation. These have a flash character of Fl 5 sec and a range of 4 nautical miles, in both red and green.

These lanterns are mounted on special, Fold Down  4m Jetty Masts. There are Polyethylene, Cone and Can, Top Marks with inbuilt radar reflectors, that are mounted on the light supports.

The use of Fold Down, Jetty masts has many advantages.

They provide eash access to the lantern, for legitimate users, but has no ladders or ladder support to invite vandalism. 

When work is needed on the lantern, it is performed in comfort and safety at ground level rather than at the top of a 4m pole with ladder or cherry picker.  

Meelick Point in the Shannon Estuary have been upgraded using VEGA

Over the past three years Shannon Foynes Port Co. have chosen VEGA  and Carmanah equipment for their AtoN renewal programme. Having worked with different equipment,  John Carlton,  Port Engineer, is satisfied that this range of equipment supplied by All In A Shell best suits his requirements. A growing number of sites in the Shannon Estuary have now been up graded.

All In A Shell have recently provided VEGA VLL 43 leading lights for the entry to Schull Harbour Co. Cork.

These LED based leading lights are strip lights mounted vertically with a horizontal divergence of only 8.5 degrees.

They have a minimum range of 7 nautical miles and are capable of 0.75 miles in day and 11 miles at night when on full power of,  2,250 candels.

The VLL 43 measures only 30cm in length and weighs just over 1kg making it very easy to install.

See data sheet: Vega VLL-43

We have recently supplied, a new VEGA VLB 67 LS2, the largest model of this lantern, for  installation at KillmorQuay, Co Wexford.

This model has 14.4 Watt solar power, and 2 x 12 Ah batteries. It has a range of 4 miles on a Fl 3 sec. Red, and an autonomy of over 65 days battery reserve. See: Data Sheet.

It is out performing any other similar lantern at a cost of little more than half the cost of other proposed solutions.

The Harbour Master and all marine users in the area  are pleased with this upgrade.

VEGA provide a solar calculator on their web site for users to enter their own requirements and calculate the power of the lantern and most suitable model.

VLB 67 LS2 Data Sheet

Dublin Port Co. is the latest Port to start the switch to using the new VEGA VLB 67 as the preferred lantern for their channel buoys. This self contained unit has a range of up to 4 nautical miles on most characters, and comes in different models to accommodate heavy duty cycles.

VEGA, the leading manufacturer of LED based navigation lights and sector lights ( PEL lights), have now entered to market in the 2-4 nautical mile range with its new VLB 67, a totally self-contained beacon that has equal or better performance that any other unit in this range but is little more that half the price of many of its competitors.

It comes in three sizes capable of four miles on many flash characters even in these latitudes. It is the new generation of integrated power supply beacons, using highly efficient optics and power management with in the unit, that have reduced the power and battery requirements,  to match and in many cases exceed, that of any other unit of its type, presently in the market.

VEGA have put up a solar calculator for this new beacon on their web site to enable anyone to enter their own requirements and see the performance limits of the new VLB 67. Try it on www.vega.nz  see calculator option on left hand side of the LED Beacon page.

The VEGA VLB 67 s are now in stock and aleady meeting the needs of customers in Ireland.

For the past ten years the Carmanah 601 self contained lantern has been the standard unit in the 1-2 nautical mile range. They found a niche in all ports around the coast and are very commonly used in AMBER as hazard markers for  construction, aquaculture, marine energy sites, out fall and wreck markers.

This highly efficient and cost effective unit has now been replaced by the CARMANAH 650, with a slightly extended range,  updated soft ware and above all the facility to fit a new battery. This facility has in effect doubled the service life expectancy of the unit to close on ten years. We now have stocks of this unit in all colours.

See attached data sheet on the Carmanah 650.

This unit has already been installed as part of the refurbishment of lights by Sligo County Council, in Sligo Harbour, by the Maine Inistitute on data buoys, on two Salmon Farms, and with in Dublin Port.
