Glamox Aqua Signal

Marine Lighting Excellence Since 1876

Glamox Aqua Signal represents over a century of innovation in professional marine lighting solutions. Aqua Signal has been delivering marine lighting solutions since before the age of electricity, establishing a legacy of reliability that continues today under the Glamox Group. The Aqua Signal company was taken over by the Glamox Group in 1995, combining heritage craftsmanship with modern engineering capabilities.

Engineered for Demanding Marine Environments

Marine lighting fixtures face challenges far beyond conventional applications. Lighting fixtures used on board ships or offshore platforms are exposed to vibrations, shocks, very large temperature fluctuations, induction currents and interference, salty air, wave water, danger of explosion and permanent use. Glamox Aqua Signal products are specifically designed to withstand these harsh conditions while maintaining consistent performance throughout their operational life.

All lighting fixtures developed by Glamox are thoroughly tested before being placed on the market, with extensive testing laboratories and research facilities, such as vibration benches, immersion baths, and temperature cabinets. This rigorous testing ensures every fixture meets the demanding standards of maritime classification societies and international marine safety regulations.

Comprehensive Maritime Applications

Glamox is the market leader in lighting products for shipping and offshore, with a range applicable to dredgers, offshore vessels, ferries, research vessels, tugs, naval vessels, yachts and cruise ships. From navigational signal lights that ensure safe passage to energy-efficient LED interior systems that enhance crew comfort, the product portfolio addresses every lighting need aboard modern vessels.

The brand serves diverse maritime sectors including commercial shipping, offshore oil and gas platforms, naval and coast guard vessels, recreational boating, and the growing offshore wind energy industry. Each application benefits from the company's deep understanding of maritime operational requirements and safety standards.

LED Technology and Energy Efficiency

The transition from conventional lighting to LED has been the most notable change in the lighting industry over the last decade, with US customers making the transition to LED lighting in less than a year. Glamox Aqua Signal has been at the forefront of this revolution, developing LED solutions that deliver substantial energy savings while improving light quality and reducing maintenance requirements.

Modern vessels equipped with Glamox LED lighting systems experience dramatic reductions in power consumption, enabling operators to downsize generator capacity and reduce fuel costs. The extended lifespan of LED technology also means fewer lamp replacements and lower maintenance demands—critical advantages for vessels operating far from shore support.

Global Support Network

Glamox is a Norwegian industrial group that develops, manufactures and distributes professional lighting solutions for the global market, backed by manufacturing facilities in Europe and sales offices across multiple continents. This global presence ensures maritime professionals have access to technical support, replacement parts, and lighting design expertise regardless of their home port or operational theater.
