BrightWind Makes Waves at METSRADE 2024


We’re thrilled to share that BrightWind, the result of our collaboration with Weems & Plath, was showcased at METSRADE 2024, the world’s largest marine equipment trade show.

It was an incredible opportunity to present this innovative product to the global sailing community and hear firsthand how it’s making a difference for sailors.



BrightWind combines Calypso Instruments’ non-mechanical, ultra-low-power wind sensor with Weems & Plath’s LX TriColor/Anchor LED Navigation Light. Together, they provide a simple, efficient solution for wind measurement and navigation in one compact system.

Key Features of BrightWind:

  • Maintenance-free design: No moving parts, ensuring long-term durability and reliability.

  • Accurate wind data: Provides precise wind speed and direction measurements under all conditions.

  • Energy-efficient navigation light: Automatic dusk-to-dawn operation with a strobe option for emergencies.

  • Compact and practical: Streamlines mast wiring by combining wind sensor and navigation light into one system.



We’re proud to see BrightWind being used by sailors around the world and grateful for the chance to present it at such a prestigious event.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to learn more about it!
