Medium intensity obstruction light are lighting devices used for lower buildings or other obstacles. They usually emit weaker light and are white in color, mainly used to indicate the presence of these obstacles to ensure flight safety.
The light intensity of medium intensity obstruction lights is usually between 20,000cd and 2,000cd, and the flashing frequency is 20-60 times per minute.
Characteristics of Medium Intensity Obstruction Light
Solar aviation obstruction lights are aviation obstruction warning lights with moderate luminous intensity. It can be clearly identified by pilots at a long distance without causing light pollution to surrounding residents. This type of obstruction light is widely used in the aviation field and is an important equipment to ensure aviation safety.
They usually meet the relevant standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), such as the medium-intensity B standard.
Principle of High-altitude Obstruction Lights
The working principle of LED medium intensity obstacle light mainly involves four aspects: energy conversion, automatic control, light intensity and color, and LED technology application.
- Energy conversion:
If you are using solar medium intensity obstruction warning lights, they are generally powered by solar energy, automatically charged during the day, and automatically working at night. This is not only environmentally friendly and energy-saving, but also reduces maintenance costs.
- Automatic control:
The light control sensor built into the system is responsible for judging the changes between day and night. When the ambient light is lower than the preset threshold, the controller starts the LED driver and makes the LED light start to work according to the set mode (such as strobe or constant light). This automatic control mechanism ensures that the medium intensity obstruction light is only lit when needed, avoiding unnecessary energy consumption.
- Light intensity & color:
According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the civil aviation regulations of various countries, there are strict regulations on the light intensity and color of medium-intensity high-altitude obstruction lights. For example, medium-intensity aviation obstruction warning lights are white flashes, and the effective light intensity is between 2000 and 20000cd.
- LED technology application:
LED (light-emitting diode) is widely used in medium-intensity obstruction lights as a light source due to its high efficiency, long life and low energy consumption. LED converts electrical energy directly into light through semiconductor materials without the need for additional heat energy conversion process, so it is more energy-efficient and reduces maintenance costs.
Application
The light source of medium intensity obstruction light is generally red or white, with high visibility and recognition. LED aviation obstacle lights or solar aviation obstacle warning lights are usually installed on tall buildings or facilities such as iron towers and chimneys used in civil airports, heliports and civil aviation routes.
