Why are the Obstruction lights needed?


You must have noticed the shiny blinking lights over tall towers and wondered what they are?
Well they are nothing but the Obstruction lights!
They are the lighting system designed with different colors, shapes, and light intensity to create a more acceptable safety level. The main objective of these lights is to prevent the risk of occurrence of any collision for flying aircraft near the building or structures.
The International Civil Aviation Organization made a regulation for the use of airplanes warning system. According to them, the standard light system are distinguished by
l  Light intensity
l  Light color
l  Flash rates
l  Beam pattern

How to differentiate the warning lights?

The warning lights are mainly divided into three major groups according to the ICAO-

High-intensity warning signal- these lights are used to indicate the presence of any object, and height is above the surrounding ground level surpasses 150 meters.

Medium intensity warning signal- these lights are used if the height of the object or structure passing above the surrounding level surpasses 45 meters.

Light intensity warning signal- these lights are used if the object with height above a surrounding grounds is lower than 45 meters.


                                                                       Obstruction light



Why are they differently arranged?

The total number of recommendation lights units for the arrangement of the warning lights are depended upon the structure's diameter.
Well, the main perspective of obstruction lights is to be seen at least form an outline of the structure.

Hence anything that hits the tower or structure will lead to massive damage and loss of life and capital. So it needs to be protected. Using proper obstruction lights will help to solve this issue. If you need to help to choose an obstruction light, call Star Standard or visit Shenzhen Avia Led.


The experts will customize the tower according to your need with all the other equipment.
You will not regret it!

The windsock is a cost-effective but useful piece of kit which can indicate wind velocity and direction. Wind socks are often found on airport runways and provide pilots and airport staff with important information about wind directions and speeds. Wind socks can also be found in manufacturing plants where toxic materials or gases are used. The direction of the wind sock can tell staff which way the wind is blowing any chemicals. Windsocks may also be found on motorways or other public areas. When used on a boat, the product can be a useful aid in navigation. A windsock is sometimes known as a wind cone. Contemporary windsocks originate from Japan and China, and are usually manufactured using a high quality silk or paper. A windsock is a conical shaped textile tube, which resembles a giant sock. Hence it’s name: windsock. It’s designed to indicate wind direction and relative wind speed. It’s normally placed next to the runway or a helipad, so that pilots can easily see it afte

Utility of Obstruction Light in Airport

  Obstruction Light Intensity Levels There are three levels of light intensity are utilized to mark aviation obstructions. These are low, medium and high. The objects which are not higher than 45 meters are marked by low-intensity lights. Medium-intensity lights are utilized to mark high buildings, constructions or natural things.

Things to know about Obstruction light

       Aviation lights are usually ided into low intensity, medium intensity and high intensity. The vertical and horizontal distances of aviation lights are greater than 45 meters for buildings. The three types of obstruction marker lights that are used in conjunction with each other. Below 45 meters above the ground, low-intensity aviation obstruction lights is set up in relatively open surroundings, which are always bright red.   Use medium-intensity A aviation obstruction light above 105 meters above the ground and below 150 meters. Obstacles should mark the highest point and the extreme edge of the obstacle. The distance between the middle layer must be within 45 meters, and the height of the city should be within 100 meters. Special consideration must be given to adding aviation obstruction lights to the middle floors of buildings. The obstacle indicator light must be located 4-6 meters below the chimney mouth. Ultra-high objects higher than 150 meters can be used in conjun
