VALUE DEFINITION
Projected This indicates the estimated number of days of
Autonomy dusk-to-dawn operation the lantern can sustain
without any solar energy being gathered by the
solar panel.
Range This is the visible range of the lantern, in nautical
miles, when programmed with the current settings.
It is calculated using the methods outlined in IALA
E-122, Section 1.5.
Peak Intensity This is the intensity (brightness) of the beam when
the LED is on. This value is expressed in candela.
The Peak Intensity gives the intensity of the beam
in the horizontal plane.
Effective This is the maximum Effective Intensity setting
Intensity Limit that can be programmed to the lantern without
exceeding the available solar energy. This value
changes with Flash Code, D2N and N2D Transition
settings, and the Geography settings (Latitude,
Longitude and Atmospheric Transmissivity; set by
your Distributor or Carmanah Manufacturing).

HOW THEY CHANGE
If you change any of the settings that
affect the lantern's power consumption,
the Projected Autonomy will automatically
update to reflect that change.
If a settings change results in the lantern
using less power, then the Projected
Autonomy value increases. If the change
requires more power from the lantern, then
the Projected Autonomy value decreases.
If you change the Effective Intensity setting,
the Range value updates accordingly.
If you've increased the Effective Intensity
setting, the Range value will also increase. If
you lower the Effective Intensity setting, the
Range value decreases.
If you change the Effective Intensity setting,
the Peak Intensity value updates accordingly.
If you've increased the Effective Intensity
setting, the Peak Intensity value also
increases. If you lower the Effective Intensity
setting, the Peak Intensity value decreases.
If you change the Flash Code or Transition
settings, the Effective Intensity Limit value
updates to reflect that change.
If a settings change results in the lantern
using less power, then the Effective Intensity
Limit value increases. If the change requires
more power from the lantern, then the
Effective Intensity Limit value decreases.
