The Petromax LM500 combines traditional design with contemporary LED technology and a variety of functions for everyday life on board. With a maximum luminosity of 500 lumens and infinitely variable dimming, the light can be flexibly adapted to different situations. The colour temperature can be set from warm white (2200 Kelvin) to neutral white (3000 Kelvin) and cool white (5000 Kelvin). This makes the lamp ideal for cosy evenings in the cockpit as well as for intensive lighting during maintenance work.
Robust construction
The LED lantern is certified to IP44 standard. This means protection against splash water and foreign objects from 1.0 millimetre in diameter. With the optional additional rechargeable battery, the LM500 achieves a runtime of up to 160 hours in energy-saving mode. This corresponds to almost a week of continuous operation. The integrated power bank function enables simultaneous charging of smartphones or tablets via the USB port. The digital display provides information about the battery charge level, selected light colour and intensity as well as the remaining runtime at all times. The robust rotary controls are modelled on the design of the classic Petromax HK500 paraffin lamp.
Versatile application possibilities
Thanks to its classic design, the LM500 blends in well with traditional yacht interiors. At the same time, the modern technology enables flexible applications:
- As a reading lamp in the bunk
- For illuminating the card table
- As a work light in the engine compartment
- For atmospheric cockpit lighting
- As emergency lighting in the event of a power failure
The range of functions can be extended even further with separately available accessories such as a transport bag and spare batteries. The advantages of LED technology over conventional fuel are: no fire hazard, no exhaust fumes in the cabin and no additional fuel (which can also leak).
The LED lantern is made of cast aluminium, measures 277 x 142 x 157 millimetres and weighs 1.2 kilograms. The scope of delivery includes the lantern, a charging cable and the operating instructions. The price for the Petromax LM500 is 119 euros.
