BRIGHTWind will provide wind speed and direction data to any NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 display (with converter).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many traditional wind sensors on the market, BRIGHTWind features no bearings or mechanical parts which typically wear out over time and can degrade performance. This non-mechanical operation makes it perfectly suited for long-term, outdoor use in all conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn place of mechanical parts, the wind sensor uses four ultrasonic transducers that measure how fast it takes for sound waves to travel back and forth between each transducer. The speed with which the sound waves travel is used by the sensor to determine the wind speed and direction. BRIGHTWind's Calypso-made anemometer can measure up to 100 mph and provide full directional data with accurate measurements not subject to mechanical friction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LED TriColor\/Anchor light is not only rugged, but it also includes a strobe option, which converts the light from a solid anchor (WHITE) color to strobe on\/off for emergencies. Additionally, the photodiode automatically turns the light on at dusk and off at dawn.* The light exceeds 2 nautical miles of visibility and uses 5 times less power than comparable incandescents! USCG certified for sailing vessels that are up to 65 feet in length.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LX Collection of Weems \u0026amp; Plath OGM LED Navigation Lights was the first in the world to be USCG approved and has set the standard for all others to follow.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes a waterproof, quick-disconnect plug with 6-foot mating cable.
