Lunasea Lighting has introduced an innovative new water safety device designed for child and pet safety. This complete safety system incorporates improved packaging other devices simply don’t offer, allowing for increased convenience and most importantly, greater peace of mind. In addition to being the smallest multi-function distress light and signaling device on the market today, unlike competitive offerings, Lunasea’s waterproof device is easily rechargeable. It’s also designed to work independently, or in combination with a waterproof, rechargeable pocket-size alarm receiver that increases your ability to keep track of your loved ones at all times.
Ideal for use aboard boats, at the marina, when camping by the lake or stream, or even poolside, Lunasea’s IP67 waterproof attachment and IP65 waterproof receiver take on, or ‘near the water’ safety to a whole new level. The attachment emits a comforting blue ambient light to provide assurance that all is OK. In the event your child or pet should fall into in the water, an ultra-bright white distress strobe on the attachment automatically activates and the portable receiver sounds a loud audible alarm and flashes a bright strobe.
Both the child or pet worn strobe and the portable receiver are equipped with long-lasting lithium batteries and work with standard inductive device charging pads. The strobe’s distress light operates for a minimum of eight hours on a single charge, while the receiver functions for many days on a single charge.
Lunasea Lighting’s Allen Burley points out that while there are others that offer a product with a remote alarm that triggers if a child or pet falls into the water, those devices don’t compare to Lunasea’s system when it comes to portability, functionality, cost and convenience.
The new Lunasea safety strobe transmitter and receiver are available through authorized dealers nationwide. The American MSRP is $189 USD. To learn more about these devices, or the complete line of Lunasea Lighting solutions and accessories for marine applications, visit www.lunasealighting.com.
MESSE DÜSSELDORF CANCELS BOOT 2021 DUE TO ONGOING PANDEMIC
Messe Düsseldorf decided on Thursday, 21 January, to cancel boot Düsseldorf for 2021 due to the ongoing pandemic and the associated worldwide lockdown measures. The next boot, as scheduled in the trade fair calendar, will open its doors from 22 to 30 January 2022. Under the given circumstances, an implementation on the planned date in April is no longer guaranteed, says Wolfram N. Diener, CEO of Messe Düsseldorf: "The continuing high level of infection and the fact that the end of the lockdown is not foreseeable for the time being make a resumption of trade fair operations at the end of April appear increasingly unrealistic.

Boating boomed in 2020, with thousands of first-time boat buyers desiring respite from the pandemic. Now many of these new boat owners are learning how to maintain and store their vessels for the first time. A midwinter visit to check on the boat − no matter if stored ashore in a backyard, or a marina parking lot − is a wise thing to do. Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) has these four tips to ensure there are no surprises at spring commissioning.
• Water is bad. The number-one concern for any boat in long-term winter storage is water. It can’t be allowed in, but if it does, the water needs a way out. Check your boat’s winter cover to ensure it still allows rain and heavy snow loads to easily shed away from the boat.
