Riviera's R Electronics launches new technology at Sanctuary Cove 2010

by Stephen Milne on 20 Apr 2010
For the first time in Australia, the full Lumitec Lighting range will be on display at Sanctuary Cove Boat Show Stephen Milne
In an Australian first, Riviera's R Electronics, the exclusive distributor of HRO water makers and Lumitec LED lighting, will showcase the exciting new Seafari Versatile water maker and latest range from Lumitec at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show in May.

R Electronics managing director Errol Cain said Horizon Reverse Osmosis (HRO) had just launched an upgrade of the Seafari Self Contained and modular systems.

With a more compact design, the Seafari Versatile water maker allows the unit to be fitted in smaller areas such as when there is limited engine room space. Available in either compact or modular configuration, the Seafari versatile offers the best installation options.


At more than 12 centimetres smaller than its predecessor, the Seafari Versatile 1800-2 is still capable of producing 6800 litres of water a day.

R Electronics managing director Errol Cain said HRO have just launched in the United States, the remote cube upgrade on the entire Seafari product range.

'The new Seafari Versatile's remote mount cube allows for maximum flexibility when installing the system and as far as I am aware, no other water maker has this feature,' Errol said.

'With no installation restrictions and a push button operating system, this new design is simple yet effective.'

'I am really excited about launching this new product into the Australian market because not only is it easy to use and install, it is easily accessible for regular maintenance.'


R Electronics will also launch at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, a whole new series of state-of-the-art lights from the Lumitec LED Lighting range, giving Riviera owners a choice from almost 500 configurations with Lumitec's diverse assortment of products, including seven colour options, four light output choices and 22 models.

Lumitec is a unique product featuring a spectacular range of internal, external and underwater energy efficient lights, with its power consumption less than a tenth of halogen lights.

'R Electronics is proud to be the sole importer and distributor of Lumitec LED lighting and we are looking for dealers interested in distributing this new lighting concept throughout Australia,' said R Electronics managing director, Errol Cain.

'I believe the future of lighting is very exciting and now we will be at the forefront of marine lighting in the South Pacific.'

R Electronics will also display the latest night vision camera systems from OceanView's thermal imaging cameras. There are five models in the range from Appollo II to the Zeus, which can be fitted to any size boat and can be interchanged between vessels.

Not only do OceanView's thermal imaging cameras provide high resolution images day or night, it also has a dual capacity to capture thermal images as well. It has a range of up to one nautical mile and uses a low light .00015 Lux camera to provide a crisp picture in even the most difficult navigational conditions.

R Electronics will have two stands at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, at the R Electronics waterfront display Arm F you can view fully operational displays of:

• HRO making pure drinking water
• OceanView night vision camera
• Electronics display of Raymarine, Furuno and Garmin equipment
