Marlin LED floodlight

Compact, heavy-duty floodlight for industrial, offshore, maritime, and mechanical engineering applications. The perfect blend of work lights and heavy-duty floodlights.

Designed for applications where a work light isn’t sufficient, but a Barracuda or Orca is too large or too powerful. Available in AC and DC versions, with the same protection philosophy as the rest of the family: IK10, IP69K, and a 316L bracket.

Response within 1 business day by an engineer. Free lighting calculation and trial luminaire possible.

Decision Aid

When should you choose the Marlin?

The luminaire is at its strongest where mechanical demands exceed what a work light can handle, yet size, weight, and power must remain controlled.

  • A compact floodlight is needed instead of a local work light
  • Maximum impact resistance IK10 and IP69K in a compact size are a requirement
  • Mounting weight and available space on the structure are limited
  • The lighting is part of a machine, crane or service platform
  • AC and DC occur within a single fleet
  • The environment is corrosive: salt, moisture, and an industrial atmosphere

When another luminaire fits better

The Marlin is not intended for every task. Being clear about its limitations leads to a better end result.

  • Need more output or range per luminaire: then the Barracuda or the Shark
  • Task lighting close to the application is sufficient: then the Piranha
  • One luminaire must span a large area or high mast position: then the Orca
  • Complete light blocking against light pollution is required: then DarkLicht
  • ATEX or Ex certification is required
  • A standard indoor luminaire for light applications will suffice
Versions

Two versions

The same housing and the same optics set; what differs is the power supply. AC with remote TLD160 driver, DC with drivers on the board and a Deutsch connector.

Optics

Optics and measured beam angles

The lens angle determines where the light ends up. Below are the measured angles from our own IES library, with the optic name as the order code next to it. An optic name is not a measured value: the 69° optic measures 72°. If you are in doubt between two angles, we will substantiate the choice with a free lighting calculation.

The beam angle is the full angle between the directions in which the intensity has decreased to 50 % of the peak; the field angle is 10 %. The upward light output is 0 % at 0° tilt. Combinations of optics within a single luminaire are possible.

Mounting

Video editing software

On machines and cranes, the mounting method determines whether a luminaire will last its full service life. The Marlin comes standard with a high-tensile-strength 316L bracket; for crane applications, the Crane Light Director is available as an accessory.

High-tensile-strength 316L bracket, adjustable in 30° increments, standard on every Marlin. Also available with a chemically tempered glass front.

Crane Light Director

A crane accessory that keeps the Marlin positioned on the boom and aimed at the work area. We recommend checking whether the Director or the fixed bracket is suitable for each boom position.

A fall protection cable is optionally available and is often a strict requirement when installed above a work area. The DRB-1 driver box houses the remote TLD160 driver, either on the mast or in the cabinet. For tower cranes, see also Tower crane lighting.

Applications

Applications

Where the Marlin is installed in practice, and why there.

Crane vessel Bokalift 2 from Boskalis with JEL lighting at night

Offshore and maritime

For ship, work deck, and functional work areas where moisture, salt, wind, and mechanical stress converge. IP69K and a titanium e-coating are standard.

Crane with stabilizing bracket and LED floodlights in Capelle

Cranes and service platforms

For small crane zones, booms, platforms, and supporting positions where compactness and vibration resistance are important.

Illuminated harbor crane from PLM in Capelle at night

Heavy industry

For steel, bulk handling, and manufacturing, where luminaires must withstand intensive and heavy-duty use.

Liebherr 9600 mining machine illuminated at night in Australia

Machines and mobile systems

For machine zones, service points, and mobile installations where more spread and output are required than a work light provides. The DC version connects directly to the vehicle electrical system.

Light color

Dual-color: white and amber in a single luminaire

In addition to the four standard light colors, the Marlin is available in a two-color version: 4000K neutral white for the work area and 2200K amber for situations where warm, insect-repellent light is desired; the colors can be switched during operation.

This allows a single luminaire to be used for both task and ambient lighting, without a second installation. The color rendering is standard CRI greater than 70, optionally 80 or 90, with a color consistency within 3-step MacAdam.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is your question not listed, or would you like something calculated? An engineer will respond within 1 business day.

No. The Marlin is a compact floodlight with the build quality of a full-fledged heavy-duty luminaire: IK10, IP69K, and a 316L bracket. It bridges the gap between work lights such as the Piranha and the Goby and the heavier-duty floodlights such as the Barracuda.

The Snapper is lighter and delivers more lumens per kilogram: 31,000 lm from 3.1 kg, but with IK08 and IP68 ratings. The Marlin is more robustly built: IK10, IP69K, and 18,000 lm from 5.5 kg. Choose the Marlin where impact resistance and high-pressure cleaning are key, and the Snapper where weight is a factor.

For the AC version with the TLD160 driver: 8 on a B16, 13 on a C16, 21 on a C25, and 15 on a D16. These numbers come from the manufacturer's MCB table at 220 V, calculated using ABB S200, and apply per driver. This is a guideline for the engineering phase and is not a replacement for the installation calculation.

Yes. The AC version dims via 0–10V, PWM, and DALI-2, and can also be configured via NFC. For the DC version, dimming is custom-made because a constant current is used there.

That depends on mounting height, desired illuminance, the shape of the work zone, and the operator's line of sight. We substantiate this with a lighting calculation, also providing the number of luminaires, their positioning, and the expected lux levels. The datasheet shows the measured angle, not the optic name: the 69° optic measures 72°.

Yes. The housing contains less than 0.08 % copper to minimize galvanic corrosion and has a two-layer titanium-based e-coating; the bracket is made of 316L. This corresponds to corrosion class C5 Industrial and Maritime. There is no fully 316L version of the Marlin; if that requirement is essential, consider the Snapper 316L or the Barracuda 316L.

Yes. The luminaire has been tested to IP66, IP67, IP68, and IP69K. All of these classes are mentioned because they are different tests: IP69K is high-pressure and high-temperature steam jet, IP68 is immersion. One does not imply the other.

Yes. The vibration rating is 6 G at resonance, tested in accordance with IEC 60068-2-6, with shock testing in accordance with IEC 60068-2-27. The Crane Light Director is available as an accessory for crane booms.

The 360,000 hours is a TM-21 L90B05 value: at that point, at least 95 % of the luminaires will still be delivering at least 90 % of their initial light output. This is more stringent than the standard L70 and L80 specifications. In practice, the LED is rarely the limiting factor; environmental conditions and installation quality determine the luminaire’s actual performance in the field.

No. The luminaire is not intended for hazardous areas. If ATEX is a requirement, please discuss this in advance, and we will determine a suitable solution together.

Yes. The DC version with DT04-2P Deutsch connector is designed for that: directly on the 24 V on-board network, without a separate driver. For serial production, we align optics, voltage version, color temperature, and mounting with the machine architecture.

CE, IEC 60598, EN 55015, EN 61547 and the EMC Directive. IEC 60598 covers construction, electrical safety, and thermal behavior. In addition, the luminaire helps meet EN 12464-2 for the safe lighting of industrial outdoor workplaces. Configurations for North America are available upon request.
