Aviation obstruction lights include AC series and solar warning light series that have been popular in the market in recent years. Their main function is to warn, by showing the outline of the building, helping pilots to judge the height and shape of obstacles, thereby ensuring flight safety. So what are the specific differences, let us understand together.
Classification of LED Aviation Obstruction Lights
Different types of aircraft warning lights are mainly classified according to their purpose, installation environment, light color and lamp design.
1. White daytime obstruction light
- Purpose: Provide visibility of obstacles during the day and enhance pilots’ recognition ability.
- Features: High brightness, LED lights continuously emit light, usually used for tall buildings, towers, etc.
2. Red obstruction lights (night or low visibility conditions)
- Purpose: Remind pilots of obstacles at night or in low visibility conditions.
- Features: Aviation lights have different flashing frequencies (such as simple flashing or fast flashing) to highlight obstacles.
3. High-intensity flashing lights
- Purpose: Emphasize dangerous areas such as airport runways, airports, and important towers.
- Features: This type of aviation obstacle lights has the characteristics of strong flashing light and is often used in high-risk areas.
4. Dual or multi-light source lights
- Use: For example, YFFY’s dual-head solar obstacle warning light further increases the recognition of obstacles, ensuring that even if part of the light source fails, it can still be identified.
- Features: Multi-color or multi-brightness combination, complex design.
5. Red & green guide lights
- Use: This type of navigation light is mostly used in specific navigation or guidance systems.
- Features: Indicates a specific direction or heading.
6. Low-visibility lights (such as night-time sinking lights)
Use: It also becomes a low-intensity aviation lights, helping pilots identify obstacles under low visibility conditions.
Features: Low power, relying on special light colors or flashing methods.
Other Differences:
- Different installation height & angle requirements: adjusted according to the type and purpose of the aviation obstacle light.
- Different flashing frequency & duration: varies according to local regulations and application scenarios.
- Different energy consumption & maintenance requirements: High-intensity flashing lights usually consume more energy and are more complicated to maintain.
