Key features
Select the lantern for its position and power supply
Compare optical requirements, power and monitoring for buoy and fixed installations in Nordic waters.
Approval documentation
Vikingegaarden helps identify the model documentation and approval requirements for the proposed navigation mark.
Solar powered options
Flexible options include solar powered lanterns as well as LED marine lanterns with remote control, so a mark can be lit where no mains power exists.
LED light source
LED lanterns combine low power consumption with compact housings for buoy and fixed installations.
Synchronisation and AIS options
GPS synchronisation can coordinate flash characters. Marine AIS options add electronic identification where included in the marking plan.
LightGuard monitoring
Optional monitoring reports lantern status remotely, allowing maintenance to respond to alarms and recorded changes.
Low maintenance light source
LED technology removes routine bulb replacement. Plan inspection and maintenance for the complete lantern, power supply and mounting.
Programmable range
Compact yet highly effective, with a programmable range so each lantern is configured for the position it marks and the traffic that uses it.
How it works
How to choose the right LED lantern for a mark
A lantern is selected by position, power supply and the level of monitoring you want.
Start with the marking position, required light character and range. The Nova-65 uses an external supply; the MCL 360 combines the lantern and solar cells in one unit. Select GPS synchronisation, Marine AIS or LightGuard monitoring where required and supported by the chosen configuration.
Vikingegaarden helps select the model, character and range, then delivers, commissions and supports the lanterns.
Define the positions to mark and the range each light must cover
Choose solar powered or mains powered, with or without remote control
Set the light character and programmable range for the position
Add GPS synchronisation, Marine AIS or LightGuard monitoring as needed

Ecosystem
Nova-65 and MCL 360, supplied and supported by Vikingegaarden
Our partner manufacturers build the lanterns. Vikingegaarden selects, delivers and supports them through AtoN House Nordic.
Vikingegaarden is the point of contact for harbors in the Nordic region: we choose the right lantern and character for each position, deliver and commission the units and support them afterwards together with the rest of your aids to navigation. Further compact and solar lanterns are sold through the same AtoN House Nordic partner network, and where a lantern is prepared for Emiko integration its status, alarms and remote control can be handled on the Emiko platform.
- Model selection and documentation for the marking plan
- Nova-65 and MCL 360 lanterns through the AtoN House Nordic partner network
- Status, alarms and remote control on the Emiko platform where integration is available
- One supplier for lanterns, buoys, beacons and radar beacons

Product guide
Choosing an LED marine lantern
Power supply and optical requirements distinguish the Nova-65 and MCL 360. Start with the navigation mark, then specify the complete installation.
Buoy lantern or fixed navigation light
LED marine lanterns mark harbor entrances, breakwaters, channel marks, buoys and fixed structures. The marking plan determines the colour, flash character and required range for each position. For an approach that needs a defined line or sector, see range and sector lights.
Nova-65 or MCL 360
The two core models split the work by power supply and position. The Nova-65 is a compact omnidirectional LED lantern for buoys, beacons and fixed structures, with vertical divergence options from 5 to 30 degrees, low power consumption and a robust design for long unattended service. It runs on an external supply and is prepared for integration with the Emiko platform.
The MCL 360 is a self contained solar lantern whose solar cells form the body of the unit itself, providing a self contained power arrangement. With a range of up to 11 nautical miles and minimal maintenance, it suits buoys and fixed AtoN sites that must run autonomously for long periods. Full photometric data for each model is available on request.
Installation and commissioning
Vikingegaarden helps select the lantern, power supply and mounting for the site, then delivers and commissions the equipment. For a complete fixed installation with a mast and backup power, MarineGuard brings these components together.
Monitoring and service
GPS synchronisation, Marine AIS and LightGuard monitoring are available within the range. The Nova-65 is prepared for integration with the Emiko platform; full integration is available for the MCL 360. Confirm the required functions for the selected configuration.
LED technology removes routine bulb changes, but the complete installation still needs an inspection and service plan. Vikingegaarden supports the lanterns alongside the rest of the site's aids to navigation.

Frequently asked questions about Nova-65 and MCL 360 LED lanterns
What is the difference between Nova-65 and MCL 360?
The Nova-65 is a compact omnidirectional LED lantern with vertical divergence options from 5 to 30 degrees, powered by an external supply and prepared for Emiko integration. The MCL 360 is a self contained solar lantern whose solar cells form the body of the unit, with a range of up to 11 nautical miles and full Emiko integration available.
Can a marine lantern run without mains power?
Yes. The range includes solar powered lanterns, and the MCL 360 is a fully self contained solar lantern with a range of up to 11 nautical miles, suited to buoys and fixed AtoN sites with no external power connection.
Which information is needed to select a lantern?
Provide the marking position, required light character and range, mounting arrangement, available power and monitoring needs. Vikingegaarden uses these to select the model and configuration and provide the relevant photometric data.
Which monitoring options are available?
GPS synchronisation, Marine AIS and LightGuard monitoring are available within the range. The Nova-65 is prepared for the Emiko platform, and the MCL 360 offers full integration. The available functions are confirmed for the selected configuration.
Does LED lighting remove the need for maintenance?
LED light sources do not need routine bulb replacement. The complete installation, including its power supply and mounting, still needs inspection and service planning. Vikingegaarden supplies, installs and supports the lanterns.
When should I consider a sector light instead?
A sector light gives colour information according to the vessel's angle to an approach. For this purpose, compare the MBL 400S and the directional options on our range and sector lights page.
