Aviation Obstruction Lights

The all LED Medium Intensity White Strobe and Red Beacon is designed for the lighting of radio towers, wind generators and other obstructions to aerial navigation, as specified by the FAA and FCC. The Dual L864 / L865 uses LED technology for light output from both the Red Beacon and White Strobe.

Unlike conventional Xenon flashtube technology, little or no maintenance is required during its lifetime. With voltages of less than 200VDC, working voltages are significantly less than with Xenon flashtube designs; therefore, this system represents an advance in safety. The Dual L864 / L865 LED beacon operates from a 110/230VAC 50/60 Hz supply. The power supply / control box can be located up to 550 ft away from the light engine, such as at the base of the tower.

• The PRL-864/865 LED beacons have a much longer life, guaranteed for five years, saving significant maintenance dollars over incandescent bulbs which have to be changed, at the top of the tower, every year or so.

• PRL-864/865 LED beacons use much less power compared to the incandescent bulbs using up to 1600 watts. This power saving is especially important in remote installations where solar power is the economic choice for a power supply. The lower power requirement means 1/10 the number of solar panels are required.
