Why do all the big buildings have a red light on top of it?

-

Aircraft warning lights are high-intensity lighting devices attached to tall structures as collision avoidance measures. Such devices make structures more visible to aircraft, and are usually used at night, although they may be used during the day. These lights need to be of sufficient brightness to be visible for miles around the structure.

They have red light to avoid collision from aeroplane and helicopter, by putting red light pilot gets notification that there is some object. This is called aviation light or Aircraft warning lights. Not even in buildings but any high rise structure who's height is more than 45 meter (not very much sure about height) must have aviation lighting.

As specified by Annex 14 of ICAO regulations, Low Intensity Obstruction Lights should be used to warn the presence of obstacles up to 45m height, such as telecommunication towers, wind turbines, chimneys, cranes, buildings and other structures.

Low Intensity Obstruction Lights are the simplest devices according to ICAO standards and they have the following characteristics and uses:

  • Type A (intensity >10cd, red steady burning) can be used alone;
  • Type B (intensity >32cd, red steady burning), can be used either alone or in combination with medium intensity obstacle lights Type B, Type AB or with high intensity obstacle lights Type AB;
  • Type E (intensity >32cd, red flashing), can be used either alone or in combination with medium intensity obstacle lights, Type B. Flashing rate will be set at the same rate of other flashing beacons installed on the structure.
(Options: Dual Type(1 duty & 1 stand-by), Solar Powered)
               


We CDT supply the Low Intensity Obstruction Light, it has an advanced lighting optic that uses multiple high intensity LEDs for efficient operation. The obstruction light offers an ultra-bright light that is energy efficient and cost effective lighting solution.
The obstruction light is available in universal AC, DC and solar configurations with automatic day night operations and an alarm for remote monitoring making it the ideal product for remote locations or areas with limited access.

  • Cost effective, energy efficient obstruction lighting solution
  • Available in universal AC/DC or Solar Configurations
  • Alarm relay for remote monitoring
  • Automatic day/night operation
  • LED technology reduces maintenance time and costs
This low intensity obstruction are widely used for:
  • Tall Buildings
  • Telecommunication
  • TowersWater
  • TowersChimneysPower
  • LinesCooling
  • TowersCranes
  • Used for marking the top of obstacles up to 45 metres or higher when used in-conjunction with other obstruction lighting

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...

High-voltage lines are major hazards for low-flying aircraft. Placing beacons on pylons is not sufficient to ensure safety due to the very long spans of cable. - Day Marking The warning ball for high voltage lines is a visual anti-aircraft protection for overhead wires and OPGW wires in high voltage transmission lines. It is recommended that in the case of a sphere with a diameter of 60 cm, the high-voltage line should be marked every 30 meters at the most. - Night Marking Conductor marking lights serve as a specialized category of aircraft warning lights specifically crafted for overhead power lines. In contrast to overhead wire markers that rely on daylight, conductor marking lights are designed to be visible during nighttime. These lights enhance the visibility of transmission line catenary wires in the vicinity of airports, heliports, and locations spanning across rivers. It is built around induction and takes its power from the current of the line, by the intermediary of a multi-winding coil directly installed within the beacon. This allows our system to adapt to every line voltage.

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.
