Enhancing visibility to save lives at sea: Daniamant raises industry standards with AQ-4 MKII Strobe Light innovation

Daniamant, a global leader in maritime safety technology, proudly introduces its latest innovation – the AQ-4 MKII strobe light. Designed to offer unparalleled levels of underwater visibility, Daniamant’s new strobe light reset the safety standards for professional maritime, naval and offshore operations.

The new AQ-4 MKII represents a significant advancement in safety lighting, engineered with a powerful flashing LED strobe for the ultimate viability underwater, particularly during nighttime or low-light operations. Unlike steady light sources, flashing strobes are significantly more effective for human detection at long distances, especially in poor visibility. In emergency scenarios at sea, the ability to be seen and found can be lifesaving, especially in demanding environments.

It is designed to be easily mounted on lifejackets, diving gear and survival suits, and is essential for use in extreme weather, darkness, or turbulent seas, helping rescue crews and teammates locate individuals quickly and accurately.

In maritime operations, time and clarity are critical. The AQ-4 MKII significantly enhances search effectiveness by accelerating the detection of survivors, which speeds up accurate search and rescue (SAR) missions. It also improves safety during navigation by marking crew members, equipment or obstacles. As a result, crews can operate with greater confidence, knowing their visibility and detection capabilities are never compromised.

Developed with direct input from maritime professionals and in compliance with international safety standards, the AQ-4 MKII combines cutting-edge LED technology with a robust, compact design that ensures peak performance when it matters most, including:

  • High-intensity LED flashing light – Long-distance visibility in the darkest and most extreme conditions.

Up to eight hours of operation – Full-intensity light output for extended missions or emergencies.
Automatic activation – No switches or user input needed, minimising human error.
Waterproof to 500meters – Built to withstand deepwater deployment and repeated immersion.
SOLAS, MED and USCG approved – Fully certified to international maritime safety standards.
NATO Stock Number (NSN) assigned – Standardised for military and professional use.
Robust design – Reduced maintenance requirements, compact size and rugged design to resists saltwater corrosion, freezing temperatures and physical impacts.

Kevin Rough, Daniamant CEO comments, “When you’re underwater, visibility is your lifeline – and the AQ-4 MKII is built to protect it. With our new strobe light, our goal is to set a new global benchmark for maritime safety. We know that our customers rely on us when lives are at stake, and this product is a testament to our commitment to innovation and reliability.”

From survival suits to submersibles, the AQ-4 MKII is already earning a reputation as the most advanced and reliable marker light of its class, purpose-built for life-critical applications in the world’s harshest conditions and darkest nights.

The AQ-4 MKII is now in stock and available globally via Daniamant’s authorised distributor network. For more information, please visit: www.daniamant.com.
