9
Aviation Obstruction Lights
  • Aviation Obstruction Lights
  • Low, Medium, or High Intensity
  • Approved by the FAA
  • ETL certified to FAA standards
  • Meet ICAO requirements

10
Aviation Regulations - FAA
  • FAA Certification Process
  • Lights must be tested by an independent lab (ETL)
  • The lab reserves the right to arrive unannounced
    at our factory and take random samples for
    testing
  • Lights are tested for optical, photometric and
    environmental tests
  • The lights must be compliant with FAA Advisory
    Circular No150/5345-43F
  • US Military Standards and Specifications are also
    used in the Certification Process

Aviation Regulations - ICAO
  • ICAO International Civil Aviation Organization
  • Provides guidance for Civil Aviation around the
    world
  • Provides common Standards and Practices
  • No certification
  • Manufacturers self test and certify
  • 188 Member Countries

7
13
FAA vs ICAO
  • There is no ICAO certification
  • Manufacturers self-certify to meet the
    standards required by ICAO
  • No product testing required
  • FAA products must be certified by an independent
    lab
  • FAA requires additional product testing

FAA product insures a rigorous and well-tested
product
14
Aviation Obstruction Lighting
  • FAA / ICAO recognizes three categories of
    obstruction lights

High Intensity L856/L857
Medium Intensity L864/L865/L866
Low Intensity L810
15
FAA/ICAO Lighting Categories
  • The Category of Light Depends On the Structure
    Height

FAA (ft)
  • Each Category has Sub-Categories

16
Day/Night Options
  • FAA/ICAO recognizes two options for day/night
    operations

Requirements depend on structure height and
application. Always defer to the FAA
specification or local agency for details.
11
17
Regulation Takeaways
  • White Lights in the day eliminate the need for
    paint
  • Red Lights are only for use at night
  • Category of light depends on the structure height
  • Low Intensity Lights are always red, Medium
    Intensity Lights are White or Red, and High
    Intensity Lights are always White
  • Red and White Lights may be installed on the same
    structure, but are never on at the same time.

12
18
Regulation Takeaways
  • Red Lights may be incandescent, halogen, or LED.
    White lights are always strobes.
  • The ICAO does not have a certification process
  • Always defer to the FAA specifications or local
    agency to ensure your applications meets the
    requirements.

  • Numerous distribution sources
  • Fairly resilient to lightning
  • Plug and play to most broadcast towers
  • Disadvantages
  • Short lamp life, high reoccurring costs
  • Frequent maintenance
  • Susceptible to vibration damage
  • Extremely inefficient, Consumes lots of power
  • Light Pollution, ground effects!

37

38
LED Technology
  • LED Light Emitting Diode
  • Semiconductor material converts electricity into
    light
  • Basic structure consists of semiconductor,
    reflector wire bond and epoxy dome
  • Color of the light is dependent on the
    semiconductor material
  • In the past LED technology was limited to
    indicator lamps.
  • Due to advances in technology the LED is becoming
    the preferred light source for many applications
    such as
  • automobile tail lamps, dashboard lights, flash
    lights, signage and aircraft warning lights.

39
The LED Value Proposition

  • Reduced lifecycle costs
  • Energy Efficient
  • Directional light source avoids wasted light
  • LED technology can save up to 80 in electricity
  • Instant On No Warm-Up Time
  • Enables On-Demand lighting and eliminates quartz
    re strike lamps
  • Full range dimming
  • Environmentally Green
  • No mercury content
  • No UV issue
  • Dark Skies friendly light where you need it
  • Solid State Construction
  • Vibration resistant
  • Potential for intrinsically safe potted designs
  • Very Low Radiated Heat
  • Increased Hazardous Locations T Ratings

Initial VOC surveys suggest that long life and
energy efficiency are the most important features
when deciding on a new light fixture

LED Technology
  • Making the transition from a light bulb to a LED
    Source
  • Generally, a single LED cannot replace a single
    light bulb
  • A Light Engine is required
  • Multiple LEDs performing as single light source
  • Optics designed for L.E.D. light engine
  • Removal of the need for filters as L.E.Ds are
    monochromatic
  • 70 to 90 instant energy savings

Lifetime Cost Analysis
46
LED Life
  • LEDs do not typically fail but gradually loose
    light over time
  • No standard for defining LED life (useable
    lumens)
  • However reputable manufacturers are adopting the
    term L70
  • L70 the time to reach 70 lumen maintenance
  • White LEDs typically have a useable life of 60K
    hours
  • Amber, Red, Yellow, and Orange can last up to
    100K hours.
  • Life is dependent of proper design of the LED
    system
