Red Aviation Obstruction Light
The Red Obstruction Lights are designed to mark tall structures that
present hazards to air navigation. When installed in accordance with FAA
AC 70/7460–1, these lights increase the conspicuity of obstructions for
pilots flying at night.
Typical applications for red
obstruction light include water towers, cellular phone towers, antennas,
smoke stacks, skyscrapers and airport perimeter fencing. For the number
and placement of lights, the required duration of operation, and
recommendations for specific types of structures, refer to FAA Advisory
Circular No. 70/7460–1K
There are three basic models -
the 810S with a single lamp, 810SE with a single lamp and wiring
enclosure and the 810DE with dual lamps and a wiring enclosure. An
optional photoelectric controller will provide automatic lighting
activation at dusk per FAA specifications. In the dual lamp units an
optional transfer relay activates the standby lamp upon failure of the
operating lamp.
The Models 810SE and 810DE feature a corrosion-protected die-cast
aluminum housing with a wiring enclosure for mounting on a 1" NPT pipe.
For ease of installation and maintenance all models are equipped with a
stainless steel tether securing the glass dome and a stainless steel band
providing tool-free access to the lamp. |
