M700 Series Solar-Powered LED Lights
Carmanah's M700 series offers exceptional performance and value in a compact IP68 waterproof, user-friendly design, with optional GPS capabilities. These lights feature 3 to 5 nautical mile visibility and replaceable battery packs to extend the light life well beyond 5 years.

Since 1996, the M700 series has been regarded as the light of choice by coast guards, navies and port authorities around the world.

Built to Perform in Harsh Environments
The Carmanah 3NM to 5NM solar-powered LED lights are the world's most advanced, solar-powered LED navigational and hazard-marking lights. They are completely self-contained, install in minutes and require no maintenance or servicing for up to five years.

Carmanah 700 Series marine lights are the next generation replacement for traditional 155mm 0.25 amp/0.5 amp navigation lights.


Reliable Technology
Through the innovative combination of solar power and LED technology, the 700 Series lights charge during the day, even under cloudy conditions, and turn on automatically at night. Instead of relying on short-lived incandescent bulbs, the 700 Series use durable, ultra bright light emitting diodes (LEDs), which have an operating lifespan of up to 100,000 hours. Other than replacing the 700's battery pack approximately every five years, the unit is designed to operate flawlessly with no additional servicing or maintenance.

Quality Manufacturing

As a result of being designed and built under contract with the U.S. Coast Guard, the 700 Series lights had to meet the Coast Guard's standards for reliability and durability. They were the first solar-powered LED lanterns to enter the U.S. Navigational Aids System and are manufactured in accordance with ISO 9000:2000 Quality Assurance Standards.

Variety of Models Available
There are a number of models of the 700 Series, offering a range of versatility depending on your location and requirements:

Model M701-5
The Model 701-5 is designed for locations where there is plenty of sunshine with no long periods of poor weather or long winter nights. This is Carmanah's most cost-effective solution for a 3NM solar-powered LED light.

Model M702-5
For certain locations, and applications that require more autonomy, the Model 702-5 has more battery storage and larger solar panels then the Model 701-5.

Model M702-5 GPS
The Model 702-5-GPS adds the additional capability of flash synchronization between any number of lights at any location in the world.


Model 704-5
The Model 704-5 delivers 4 and 5 NM visibility to the Series 700 line. Like the others it is a available in a GPS model.
