Abstract

Two optical designs for marine beacon based on Direct In-line Package (DIP) LED is proposed and demonstrated. The luminous intensity of the marine beacon using DIP LED can achieve to the IALA recommendation's requirement of 5 nautical miles. The measurement of color coordinates can also fit the IALA recommendation's requirement. By the surface-structured TIR lens, we successfully keep the divergence angle to 68 degrees in the horizontal direction and converge to 8 degrees in the vertical direction.
