Budget Marine is Premier Caribbean Retailer of Innovative OGM LED Navigation Lights
Largest Caribbean retailer, Budget Marine, will carry LED marine lights from Orca Green Marine Technology in catalog and through stores located in St. Thomas, St. Maartin, Antigua, Grenada, Trinidad, Curacao, and Bonaire
Austin, TX ( PRWEB) September 28, 2004 -- Orca Green Marine Technology
Corporation (OGM) announces today that Budget Marine will begin carrying OGM’s
LED Navigation lights in their Caribbean stores and through their annual
catalog. As the leading retailer and wholesaler of pleasure boat marine
equipment in the Caribbean, Budget Marine established a reputation for product
variety and quality at competitive pricing. Their slogan, “WE STOCK WHAT
SAILOR’S WANT” is a direct reflection of their commitment to boaters’ needs.
We are delighted to count Budget Marine as one of our valued distribution
partners,” said Hobie Caldwell, OGM’s co-founder and CEO. “With many of our
customers all across the world spending time cruising and racing throughout the
Caribbean, it’s good to know there is a Budget Marine store available for them
at virtually any port.”
Budget Marine’s philosophy is to make the Caribbean
boating experience the best it can be and to make products available for them to
optimize the superb conditions of the Caribbean waters. Of course, the tropical
environment is tough on marine equipment in general, so Budget Marine focuses on
supplying equipment and supplies that stand up to the onslaught from heat and
salt air. Two of OGM’s most popular LED navigation lights include the first USCG
LED Tricolor/Anchor combination which uses a mere 6W (0.5 amps) of power at 12V
and the Anchor only light with power consumption at only 2.4W (0.2 amps). These
lights provide boaters with a compelling solution to the long-standing issue of
power consumption and reliability while on longer passages or at anchor. With
power consumption at only 2.4W (0.2 amps), boats at anchor can ensure anchoring
safety all night while limiting power drainage.
Budget Marine marks the
latest of a growing number of international retailers and distributors carrying
the innovative line of LED navigation products and the only distributor located
in the Caribbean area.
