Aviation Warning Light Systems: What You Need to Know

-
 The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) have regulations & set recommendations for the installation of aviation warning light systems on tall structures. Any structure that exceeds 200 ft about ground level is required to be properly marked with aircraft warning lights. Industrial chimneys, wind mills & turbines, smokestacks, water tanks, pylons, cranes, and broadcast masts & towers that reach above this height must be clearly visible to aircrafts at any time during the day or night.

Aircraft warning lights (AWL) are also required to have specific features in terms of beam pattern, light intensity, light color, and number of lights based on international regulations and national standards. The setup of your structure’s AWL system will vary depending on local terrain features, weather patterns, geographical locations, and the shape & layout of the structure or surrounding structures that need to be lit.

Types of Lights

 According to the ICAO, the lights used in an AWL system must be distinguished by a set of parameters: beam patter, color, intensity, and flash rate. There are 3 main groups to consider as stated by the ICAO:

  • Low intensity obstruction lights: these lights should be used where the object height above the surrounding ground is lower than 45 m.





  • Medium intensity obstruction lights: should be used where the object height above the level of the surrounding ground is higher than 45m.






  • High intensity obstruction lights: these lights should be used to indicate the presence of an object if its height above the level of the surrounding ground exceeds 150m.
We CDT has specialize in Aircraft Warning light System over 8 years, our light has approved by CE,CAAC,ICAO. And Our Quality Management System is registered to ISO 9001:2015.

Night Marking Red Obstruction Light System for Transmission Tower

-

An overhead power line is a structure used in electric power transmission and distribution to transmit electrical energy along large distances. It consists of one or more conductors (commonly multiples of three) suspended by towers or poles. Red obstruction lights are used to increase conspicuity during nighttime. The red obstruction light system is composed of flashing omnidirectional lights (L-864) and/or steady-burning or flashing (L-810) lights. When one or more levels are comprised of flashing lights, the lights should flash simultaneously 1. Single Obstruction Light. A single red obstruction light (L-810) may be used when more than one obstruction light is required either vertically or horizontally, or when maintenance is needed, and can be installed within a reasonable time. Top Level. A single steady-burning light (L-810) may be used to identify low structures, such as airport instrument landing system buildings, as well as long horizontal structures, such as perimeter fenc...

ICAO compliant MIOL red flashing solar obstruction lights are an integrated solution including a high-efficiency LED light source, solar panels and battery. In remote areas, where 110V or 220V is not available except at extremely high cost, solar-powered FAA & ICAO obstruction lights have become the preferred and often necessary solution for marking utility transmission towers, telecom towers, wind farm testing, airports, and other tall structures. Tapping into solar energy is simpler and greener, saves money, and keeps lights off the grid. The system is designed as a compact, all-in-one solar system, completely self contained for easy installation. The high efficiency, compact design provides end users with a lightweight, maintenance free power solution, requiring minimal surface area for installation. The system is ideal for remote airstrips where hard-wired infrastructure is unavailable.

Overhead Wire Marker Fiberglass Aircraft Warning Sphere Day Marking  Aerial Marker Balls for High Voltage Power Lines  Warning sphere is used for warning aircraft pilots in daytime and nighttime, which is compliant with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) recommendations annex 14 chapter 6. It can be used in overhead cable, guyed wire, especially in extra high voltage power transmission line, cross river power transmission line, cross road, bridge power transmission line and so on. It is made of high-grade polyethylene with the color of red, orange, white. Different colors' warning sphere should be displayed alternately. If there are many lines, warning sphere should be displayed on the highest line. It can resistant to corrosion, rust, water, dust, high temperature, can be used for long time.
